Dodge SRT Demon Announced

Huh, that 95 limit for Officer`s Discretion would`ve bitten Accumulatorette, she skated with merely a (written lower no less) citation for 96/60 once! But at triple-digits you`re getting hooked up here, period. Wish I knew what the rules were for WVA, might oughta look into that sometime. Credit where credit is due- WVA HP troopers are always *really* nice, write tickets down to nearly-nothing and have even told me "you`re clear to the end of the turnpike, I`m the last radar until the tollboth".

And yeah, I haven`t gotten cited for years either, just warnings, and the last guy who did write me up actually apologized (he was the "chase car" in a laser trap where they were trying out their new toy, said he would`ve just given me a warning but it was already in the system).

Now that we`ve taken this way off-topic (yeah, again, I`m bad :o ) it just goes to show how people who buy cars like Hellcats *and who don`t track them* aren`t buying the actual performance in the sense of actually using/needing it, huh? No, no...I`m not being critical at all! Just saying...

in highschool I got 81 in a 35 for street racing and since I was the only one who pulled over the cop just wrote me a ticket and when I went to court the person who went before me in front of the judge was a real Ahole and he got a few extra fines put on him for contempt etc, and the judge apparently liked me because she let me do defensive driving for that ticket and it went away
 
512detail- heh heh, glad it turned out so well for you! Me?...eh, back when I was young and foolish I lost my license for years on end, and yeah my older less foolish self thinks I sure had it coming.
 
To some extent it`s no longer how fast you can go, it`s now how fast can you get to how fast you`re allowed to go

Sounds supercharged - not turbo. That whine is ridiculous!

the sound is exactly the same as the other hellcats

I have no doubts they`re gonna just reuse the same engine, I mean..they built it FOR the hellcat a few years ago- it`s proven to be able to tweak out 900+ at the wheels with e85 and some pully/injector changes

but that`s not an AWD burnout IMO...and AWD is the only that that`d help me make a debt ridden decision to buy one, haha

my car is hard enough to control on the street, and nowhere near close to current hellcat power...there`s a limit to fun and that`s 500 RWHP IMO, anything more and you`re just at dyno queen numbers because no average joe can enjoy it a full chat anywhere short of a few racetracks or an airport runway somewhere...all IMHO at least

oh and I read last week on LXforums that the weight loss is supposed to be about 200 lbs or so from what they figure from the video broken down frame by frame highlighting different parts of the car (smaller brakes, rear seat delete,etc.... lug nuts- the real hog of our cars, lol)

I heard it will be 500 to 900lbs less than the Hellcat
 
one of the stranger aspects is that they are dropping the 6 piston brakes most likely and going with the 4 piston like on my car (and now found on the scat pack`s) - which are nice brakes but they`re adding HP and taking away some braking ability-- yes I realize a lighter vehicle will require less brakes and they need the smaller wheels to save weight and get the radials on there but I wonder what the 60-0 feet is on this new one compared to the hellcat..that`d be interesting to see when it comes out
