I can't blame Dodge for publicizing the lowest ET that their engineers could get. It is quite an accomplishment in it's own right....But anyone who spends the top dollar for this Demon should know what it's all about and be able to separate the hype from reality.
The Demon's street/track combo doesn't seem to quite be the same as what Camaro offers....Camaro you get the best of both....Demon seems like it can only be one or the other....

My eyebrow goes up at the seats delete, and NHRA rules stuff.
It occurs to me that, at least where drag racing is concerned...there's only so far you can take a street car before it doesn't make any sense. Seems like you're sacrificing go-fast things just to keep it "street legal".
Enter...COPO.
When you down into the really fast times....you've got to be willing to make the leap to a true drag racing car, and stop with the street-legal nonsense. At which point someone might be able to make their own for less $$.
