Demons are slow. They're barely quicker than Hellcats if at all in the hands of most drivers. If that ZL1 is mostly stock/bolt ons and drag pack and gapping the Demon that bad then it's bad news for SRT boys. But I'm already sick of people throwing around the Demon name like it's actually a competitive car. It's a 4400 pound WHALE that makes 800 HP and only makes more under very specific circumstances. All of the drag features it has are hard to use and only work well at the drag strip. Launch Control sucks, people are getting 3.6 seconds, 3.9 seconds and the like on the street. All and all, it's just slow. Now we just have to find a way to get it disqualified from the record books. 9.6, 2.3 second 0-60, my ass.

I'd still never consider a Hellcat over even a stock ZL1.

I am supposed to line up with the zl1 owner so he can video his next to a stock Zl1(mine). I will try to do the same with the demon as well.

720 RWHP on the ZL1, great, so it's full bolt on and supporting parts (+ the drag pack). But it didn't beat the demon, it destroyed it, wasn't even close. Makes it seem like, dropping most of those mods off and it STILL would have put up a fight/got it by a half car. Those races looked like a 100-200 HP difference to me. |

You got to pay to play. You want to run 9s off the show room floor? Yes? Ok, it's going to cost you. I didn't start the comparison, Dodge by putting a car out there that they claim is FASTER than such cars did the comparison for me/us. You spend $100k for a Demon and run mid 10s in the hands of you and then you make up the rest by being sure everyone around you knows it's a 9.6 second car? Ok have fun. It's not "Slow" but certainly no 918/P1/LaFerrari/720S/Bugatti SS/Performante killer. And it shouldn't be.

After watching the video of the extensive track prep for the Demon's 9 second hero run, I wasn't as impressed with it's quarter mile performance. Dodge has a done a great job marketing the car though. I'm actually more impressed with the 10 second ZL1 run with the drag tune, and supposedly there's more in it.
