I've got a '73 Dart Sport (Demon name was dropped after '72 due to backlash from the name and devil logo) with a hopped up 340 backed by a 4 speed. I reaaaallly love this car. Such a fun ride and a head turner.
Dodge is really doing awesome things nowadays. It's good to see them catering to enthusiasts like this. Some of us just want stupid fast straight line acceleration, enough tire smoke that people call the fire department, and classic weird and crazy Dodge styling.
The Demon isn't going to be the most refined car out there, but it doesn't need to be. With a supercharged HEMI and 315 series drag radials on all corners, it's going to be one badass automobile.
