Not saying they arnt great, hell it will run circles around my fastest modded vehicle i own BUT to me it looks like a car for a rich person who wants to go fast NOW and not get his hands dirty

 

I agree with that. But its still impressive to go 9.60's at that weight and still be able to pass emissions IMO.

Has anyone heard anything about the supercharger? Is it the Eaton 2650 rotor pack, or is it a 2.7 twin screw like the 2.4 thats on the hellcat?

 

it's a dodge...in 6 years, every single one of them will be in a junk yard somewhere.

remember when those little SRT4 Dodges were buzzing around everywhere? quick little cars and you couldn't walk across the street without tripping on one. Now, when is the last time you've seen one on the road?

 

Saw one yesterday actually, and funny you say it, it was on a flatbed hahaha

 

They are all over my town still. Have a customer that owns 3 of them. Lol

 

2 of them are for parts to keep one running?

 

Lol. Could be. He actually makes he decent living messing with them.

 

Comparing a Challenger to a Neon is kind of like comparing a Silverado to an Aveo. The Neon was always a disposable car, even in SRT form. And yeah they were quick but you were still driving a Neon.

The LX (Charger, Magnum, 300) and LC (Challenger) series cars from Mopar are pretty stout. Consider that the V8 versions generally get the crap beat out of them and many are holding together just fine at 100K, 200K, and more than a few at 300K+ on original drivetrains. The earlier 5.7 was known for dropping valve seats under some circumstances (usually had to suffer an overheat at some time in its past) but the 6.1 and 6.4 have proven to be solid. Haven't heard of any significant 6.2 Hellcat failures yet but haven't really been paying attention.

Over 90K on my 11 year old 300C SRT8 and the car is still awesome!

Back to the Demon though? Not digging the widebody kit but I understand it. One of the big problems with the Hellcat is not enough rubber, so they needed some way to get more under the rear for the Demon...must have been an easy stretch for them to just flare it all the way around and give it that "boy racer" look.

AFAIK that 840 HP with the included performance PCM swapped in, is 840 *rear wheel* HP...not crank.

Wonder what it weighs? If it was similar to a Camaro I might talk try to talk myself into it. Modded it will be a lot faster too. So pissed at GM for so many reasons.

 

I think its around 4200 lbs.

This thing will **** on a ZL1 camaro as they both sit... but the camaro is a more well rounded car.

GM has a few things coming this year I think. Lets sit back and watch the action. (And by watch the action i mean watch our POS projects get slower by the minute... )
