Anthony Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 How about 840 horsepower. Good god. There's actually people complaining on Facebook saying "Only 840hp?" You dumb arses, it goes 0-60 in 2.3 seconds!!!! I don't care if it had a 3hp Toro lawnmower engine, that's friggin' fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 2.3 is impressive. Good thing cornering isn't necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Incredibly, in stock trim the SRT8 Demon can pull both wheels off the ground at launch. That fact alone is so cool, Dodge invited the Guinness Book Of World Records to document the feat as the first factory car ever to do a wheelie. (A length of 2.92 feet in fact.) In the process, the Demon generates 1.8g of acceleration, another record for a production car. At the same test session, Dodge engineers went for yet another record: fastest production car in a quarter mile. With the Demon’s optional race fuel programming (for 100-plus octane unleaded fuel) and optional lightweight front racing wheels, it runs the quarter mile in 9.650 seconds at over 140 mph. Even with all four of its standard Nitto NT05R 315/40R18 drag radials bolted up, the Demon is good for 9.90s at over 130 mph. This kind of performance from a street-legal vehicle was unthinkable a year ago, let alone back in the ’60s. The Demon is so quick, at the same test session the NHRA banned it from competition for infractions of Section 4 in the rule book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Would not surprise me to see the GT500 with 750-800 hp. Not sure they'll do the drag tires though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This is an amazing and exciting car! That being said, I have to wonder about FCA's priorities. Their mainstream brand has only a minivan and a soon to be discontinued sedan. The performance division has an exciting sedan and coupe, although they have been on the market a long time, and a stale SUV, CUV, and last generation's minivan although they have Jeep to blunt the CUV and SUV deficiencies. No mid size sedan, no compact car. They delayed new Ram trucks and Jeep models, have Fiat in separate dealerships selling micro amounts of cars. So, out of all the opportunities, THIS took priority?

No need for the drag tires when they don't have enough torque to spin them anyway. Just joking with ya. But they need to exceed the Dodge in HP and torque for the bragging rights don't they? After all Ford is out selling the Challenger and Camaro with less HP every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, they are working with what they got while they shuffle plants. 2019 is supposedly going to be a huge year for new vehicles.

If they can keep the lights on...Jeep and Ram are doing well, but car line up overall is suffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdatdude Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This is a sick car...BUuut this seems like special send off edition not a keep you interested in the overall brand.

Fgts Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) If they can keep the lights on...Jeep and Ram are doing well, but car line up overall is suffering. In FCA defense, other then the rwds they never made money on cars since the early '00s at least. While I disagree of them killing the smaller fwd cars, unless gas shoots to $6 a gallon till '19 they're good.

bdegrand Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The Demon went on sale in June and the build is about 3300 units. Base price at $85,000 but additions can take it past $100,000. How in the world can they get this car to go 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and actual documented 1/4 mile in 9.6 at 140 mph?...Incredible. This car is as fast as a 1500 hp Bugatti Chiron 0-60!!!!

akirby Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Traction. Lots of it. Bingo. It's easy to get a lot of power but getting it to hook up off the line is tricky. You basically need specially built huge drag radials. And 100 octane racing gas. Edited July 26, 2017 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'll take a well balanced sports car with 350-400 hp over that all day long. Any idiot can mash the gas to the floor for a few seconds and you can only really enjoy it at the track while a great sports car is fun driving even at legal speeds.
