I want my hour back.

840 hp (not sure if on pump or race gas)
2.3 0-60
9.6 1/4 mile

NO mention of warranty, price, availability, nothing. Just rap video at the end, right after they said "And I bet you'd think this is it, but no, we have more" then rap video. Then it ends. Wtf.

Ok, take a COPO for a ride around the block and see how that goes.

I have a ZL1 for that. The COPO is for drag racing, isn't that the intent of the demon?

Bottom line... demon owns the drag strip as factory stock

So.... the 3 amazing feats have been reduced to 2... road driving and track racing, drag racing war is lost....

Gotta admire their singular determination and thank them for bringing back the crown from the electric Tesla folk...

They went out of their way several times to say it is "banned" from NHRA drag racing....

I think it is too quick....9 second cars need a roll cage and driver fire-suits, I believe...

Good luck buying one then trying to run at an NHRA track....Maybe there are exceptions, could be wrong....but I don't think so...

Didn't a ZL1 just go 9.9 with spray and tire's? Compared to this all out drag car I'd be happy.

It sounds great, but it is still a dodge.

Well, you can drive the demon to and from the drag strip... can't do that with a COPO

I would have to drive it on a road course to fully understand what it can or can't do.
