Looks like all that is needed to hit 10.0 with the demon is MT Street tires and some seat time with the car, and soon the 2020 will be close to a second faster than that if current rumors are to be believed.

And Dodge smurfed up advertising it was a 9.65 car and I think they learned from that when they released the times for the Redeye. They should have underpromised and overdelivered vs the other way around.

"Highest horsepower production car, Fastest 0-60 production car (2.3 sec.), First ever wheel lift on a production car, World's fastest production car 1/4 mile (9.65 sec.), etc., etc., etc..". I don't recall seeing another manufacturer posting Nurburgring times, VIR times, Laguna Seca times, etc., throughout ~90% of their halo car's ads. Dodge made it sound like anybody with a pulse can buy a Demon and consistently run 9.65's. That was the "buzz" when it was unveiled...840hp and 9 second passes.

IMHO the Demon should have been marketed as a 9.95 car. The hype would have been the same and that's much closer to what the "average joe" could run with tires, the race pcm, and decent conditions and track prep.

I'm not kicking them in the nuts. I just think they went too far with the ad campaign. I understand you want to create a buzz, but making it seem like any goofball can get behind the wheel of a Demon and crack off a 9.65 (or a 9.99 for that matter) is just going overboard. Heck, even the guys that have a lot of track time (in other cars) on Hellcat.org had to get weeks of practice to dip into the 9's.

This is a real question because I actually don't know - Are any Demon owners complaining because they can't run 9's?

No, because anyone with the smallest amount of common sense knows the times were done using the trans brake, in -1600 da, in damn near perfect conditions. It will be hard, but not impossible to recreate those times. If you ran at MIR on a cold fall day with great prep and plenty of time to stage and activate the trans brake, and the nittos hook, it can happen.
