3. While this is street legal, again IMO Dodge is pandering to the "HP is the only thing that matters" crowd. They bumped it up 100 HP with a larger blower = BFD.
4. The design is outdated (1970's), the chassis is still outdated.

It's a cool car, and if you are wanting that one trick pony, and yes it's the best at that one trick, then by all means, go and get it, it's awesome.

I do think that GM hamstrung themselves just a bit by leveraging the LT4 in the Camaro (but this did keep the costs down). The Corvette can't fit a tall motor, which is what the HC motor is...it's tall with a tall blower on it. The Camaro probably could have been better served with a 2.3 or hell, 2.9 liter blower, but then it would have more power than the corvette so....

Anyway, sorry the current Challenger platform is just not my cup of tea, as cool as it is.

You pretty much covered it all very well on this one post. Especially the small pullied blower on the LT4

The sum of the parts of the Demon is what is groundbreaking here. If Dodge is looking far ahead you will see sub components on this drag car show up in other Production street cars. I see the Demon as a rolling test bed that just changed the game. The 1.36 sixty is the most impressive number. Think about that for a minute. This thing hits harder than a freight train with a warranty
