So although I love that they engineered and built the Demon they left one thing "undone" NHRA compliance. Why did they send it to the NHRA For testing anyway if not for certification? On that mark the demon misses big league.

Ummm not exactly. Fiats goal was to have NHRA certify the 9.65@140 not the car.
It's not much different than buying a ZL1 to take to a car show but never to a track. What's the point of owning such a car if you don't plan to use it as it's intended. While a stellar car the ZL1 is a compromise trying to be all things to all buyers. It certainly excels at going around corners but it's straight line performance is on par with the now dated Hell Cat. Gotta set trends not follow them. Some call the Demon a "one trick pony" but that said Dodge has done well on the road course with their ugly ass Viper. I'm pretty stoked that I had the opportunity to live in the performance era twice, the '60's and now.
What car nut doesn't love it?
