On the topic of "fast"....at least it's under 150 mph at the top end, or it would need a parachute as well as the roll-bar.....

I hope for the Demon's sake there will be buyers actually willing to put in a cage and go to NHRA tracks....otherwise this whole quarter mile thing will just be relegated to bench-racing....

Dodge sold their first race Hemis in the '60s to the public under warranty and most of them blew up....They quickly changed their policy and only sold them to known race teams....The street Hemi shortly followed for the public....I hope the Demon doesn't go through the same fate....

Unless they actually get tracked, their reputations will be in the hands of bench racing posers....

F fastest.

They really meant to say,

"Ladies 'n gentlemen, we introduce to you, the swiftest, most brisk riiide available, out of the box.

We challenge any other riiiide out there, out of the box, that does wheelies, and records the highest G force readings off the mark."

FTFY.

Agreed. The Trackhawk is nice. I saw a photoshopped pic of one with the Demon's fender flairs and it looked wicked.

That crate will be shipped directly from Dodge to the address of your choice. It includes the 100 octane or better Dodge calibrated ECM and the front runner setup (along with a host of other items). Once you install the factory calibrated and supplied 100 octane tuned ECM and front runners, the car will run the 9.65 and all while retaining the factory 3/36k bumper to bumper and 5/60k powertrain warranties.
Couldn't have said it better

It's a neat car and I'm glad they did it, but Dodge seems to be in terrible financial shape. I hope this isn't what ultimately kills the brand. They've had the same body for like 10 years now, and the Dart was a huge bust. Good thing they have jeep to keep them afloat.

Simple.

The Demon travels 1320 feet in a shorter period of time than any production car in the world. Therefore it does it faster than any production car in the world. Therefore it is the fastest.

Simple.
what kind of pie are you talking about?

I love pie
