Interesting...haven't seen anything in the 'wild' except these guys... http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-global/dims3/GLOB/legacy_thumbnail/750x422/quality/95/https://s.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/445/563/7/S4455637/slug/l/dodgedemon-final01-kgp-ed1-1.jpg

Only 5 passenger on the Grand Cherokee, Durango has 7, but no Hellcat. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Typically that's referred to as Brake Limited Differential, so I am assuming this is different. The porno red leather interior is also an option on Durango R/T and SRT too. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

What did the Demon's look like? Did they have big NITTO stickers across the windshield and look like they had bolts holding the flares on? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Those are the numbers I have seen leaked, and it was in the Instagram post I shared a few posts back. Personally I'm surprised it's not 1127. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

No idea, but I'm guessing it's in the ballpark. It is crazy to think we can have a 700hp, 3.5 sec 0-60 SUV with a full factory warranty. If you noticed, it has some of the launch control features of the Demon. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The ultimate daily driver. Supposed to debut next week in NY, but looks like info was leaked on the web. http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_2018_Trackhawk.htm http://www.autoblog.com/2017/04/09/jeep-grand-cherokee-trailhawk-hellcat-all-wheel-drive/?ncid=edlinkusauto00000016 Four-wheel-drive with an electronic limited-slip rear differential and a single-speed active transfer case is standard. Jeep says a new, full-time active transfer case uses forged steel chain sprockets and a wider chain for extra strength and durability. To help the Trackhawk hit its claimed straight-line performance figures, Jeep fitted it with a standard launch control system that sets the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and suspension up for maximum acceleration. When enabled, Launch Control also enables a new Torque Reserve system, which improves engine torque response and acceleration performance by pre-positioning the supercharger bypass valve to minimize manifold fitting time, cutting fuel to specific cylinders, and managing ignition timing. The standard adaptive suspension, which provides a 1.0-inch lower ride height, can be adjusted via the Grand Cherokee’s Selec-Track system. It features five modes — auto, sport, track, snow, and tow — that also adjust the the four-wheel drive system functionality and how much power is sent to the rear wheels, transmission shift times, shifter paddle functionality, and electric power steering’s behavior. ------------- Fun facts.... Stronger rear axle and driveshaft than the SRT392. 15.75 Brembo rotors up front. 7200lb towing capacity. 11.6 PSI of boost. 295/45ZR20 tires on all four corners. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The internet has also been insisting it's AWD too. You've been reading the wrong internet sites... Yeah Stock HC on drag radials goes 10.8, the Demon will not.

Oh, for some reason I thought Jalopnik said ~$150k. I agree that the Camaro would win in a road course, especially since the Demon's sidewalls will flex so much. The Demon was built for one purpose. The rumored Hellcat Widebody would be more well-rounded... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The Exorcist has got nothing on the Demon. They didn't even post 1/4 mile times. You could buy a Demon and a Hellcat for the price of the Exorcist, have a factory-backed warranty, and (most likely) run faster times at the track. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The stock ECU will have to be emissions compliant, the crate ECU might only be "off-road" use, just like some of the other stuff in the crate. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

This should say it all: Consider the crate a very elaborate "trunk kit," like OEM's used to do for SCCA.

I forgot to post last week's video, so here is that and today's release. No Ice: 03.30.2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has distinct cooling advantages – enough to make the engine perform like it is running in the cold Alaskan air, even after a day of runs down the strip on a hot summer day. The newest teaser video, “No Ice,” unlocked March 30 at^http://www.ifyouknowyouknow.com, reveals the Challenger SRT Demon’s super cooled air induction system. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the first-ever, factory production car with a liquid-to-air charge air cooler chiller system. This exclusive performance feature enables the Challenger SRT Demon to achieve charge air induction temperatures previously unattainable by pressure-charged street-legal production vehicles.^ Conventional cooling methods consist of simply using air or coolant to reduce the air induction temperature as it is passed through the charge air cooler. When in Drag Mode, the Challenger SRT Demon interior air conditioning system is diverted to chill the engine’s charge air cooling system. The result: Up to 45 degree Fahrenheit reduction in intake air temperature ^ ^ 04.06.2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. Every part of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon – from the supercharged HEMI® V-8 to the Air Grabber hood to the single-seat interior to the sticky Nitto street-legal drag race tires – is optimized for one mission: dominate street and strip. That single-minded focus even extends to the fuel system, as shown in the newest teaser video, “Fuel,” unlocked April 6 at^http://www.ifyouknowyouknow.com. The Challenger SRT Demon is the first ever, factory production car designed to run on either track-preferred 100+ high-octane unleaded fuel or 91-octane unleaded fuel on demand. The track preferred high-octane fuel is readily available at select gas stations, specialty shops and drag strips. The keys to unleashing the SRT Demon’s full fury are in the Demon Crate shipped separate: Direct Connection Performance parts that include a new powertrain control module (PCM) calibrated for the high-octane fuel and a new switch bank for the center stack that includes a high octane button. The SRT Demon leaves the factory with a PCM configured for premium unleaded pump gasoline, which delivers top level performance. The switch to the Direct Connection controller enables the supercharged HEMI engine to extract the maximum power from the knock-resistant high-octane fuel by optimizing spark timing. Drag racers will see big changes in elapsed time (ET) with the high-octane fuel. Mixing high-octane unleaded and premium unleaded fuels in the tank won’t hurt the SRT Demon’s engine, but the high-octane function won’t activate if the combined fuel octane is too low. A message in the gauge display tells the driver the car will use the premium fuel calibration until the engine is shut off and restarted. How does the car know? The controller monitors the engine’s knock sensors. There will be plenty of fuel available: The SRT Demon carries dual fuel pumps (vs. one pump in the Challenger SRT Hellcat), and larger fuel injectors using higher rail pressure. ^ Another new video will be posted tomorrow and tha launch party is next week. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dodge-challenger-demon-launch-party-detroit-area-tickets-33380440797 Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

I haven't heard any 0 to 60 times, but from everything else I've heard those numbers aren't right. AllPar has some really good info, but their thread is ~170 pages, so you have to sift through a lot. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It was a dealer in Ohio too. He is in Indiana, but found a better deal across the border. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Yeah, apparently the lease buy out is ridiculously low too. He'll end up saving something like $6000 buy leasing, then buying vs buying from the start. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Yeah, the 11th or 12th I think. Exactly. P.S. A supplier of mine just leased a Hellcat Challenger with a manual transmission for $512 a month with $0 down! Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The internet forums are claiming there are two prices: Demon Demon + crate Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

What would you find reasonable? Figure I'll post another record HC run while we wait for Demon details. 9.15@158 Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Pics are out. Spec's are what's trickling out every week, but that's because they want people to know it's a lot more than a Hellcat with big tires. You won't be disappointed. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

First production vehicle equipped with a trans brake. 03.23.2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon leverages a performance feature that is sure to make it one for the history books. Unlocked on March 23, the newest teaser, “Lock and Load,” shares a feature that not only delivers the highest level of dedicated drag car technology offered in a production car but also, until now, could only be found in the aftermarket for "track use only" vehicles. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the first ever, factory production car with a TransBrake™. This exclusive performance feature enables the SRT Demon to produce launch forces previously unattainable by street legal production vehicles. Quicker power delivery and higher engine launch torque potential are achieved by locking the output shaft of the automatic transmission to keep the vehicle stationary until launch. Conventional vehicle launches consist of the driver using one foot on the brake and one on the accelerator pedal to increase engine speed while holding the vehicle stationary, known as foot-brake launch or two-footing. The SRT Demon’s TransBrake feature provides improved reaction times and more consistent launches by utilizing the steering wheel paddle shifters as a launch trigger. Using the driver’s finger exclusively to trigger launch of the SRT Demon results in a 30 percent reaction time advantage over foot-brake launches. By locking the output shaft of the transmission, the Challenger SRT Demon’s TransBrake works in conjunction with Torque Reserve to achieve: Brake-free launches up to 2,350 RPM 105 percent increase in launch boost pressures 120 percent increase engine launch torque To make sure the SRT Demon can take full advantage of maximum torque at launch, the TransBrake feature also includes a driveline preload process. Preloading ensures engine torque is applied through the entire driveline all the way to the rear wheels. The result is full engine torque delivery where the tires touch the ground 150 milliseconds after the paddle shifter is released. Preloading the driveline also provides reduced component spike loads and thus less potential of component damage. The overall result is faster acceleration at launch, better 60-foot times and improved quarter-mile times. The TransBrake feature also compliments the SRT Demon’s new lightweight brake package, designed to enable the use of narrow front-runner wheels at the drag strip. With TransBrake holding the SRT Demon steady, more torque is available via higher engine rpm without fear of overwhelming the reduced grip of braked front runners. This gives the SRT Demon up to 40 percent more available launch torque compared to vehicles with front runners using a foot-brake launch Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

I'll post this for reference too: Full weight Charger - Metco Upper Pulley (18PSI) - ATI Lower Pulley - Catless Mid Pipes - 3.09 Rear Gear Swap (Demon will have 3.09) - Driveshaft Shop Driveshaft - Diablosport CMR tune Makes 902 horsepower / 866 lb.-ft. of torque The guys on the forums are talking about crazy levels of HP now for the Demon, but won't quote numbers. These are guys who have inside connections and we're previously saying over 900 HP. They now claim these expectations were too low. I can't wait for April to get here.
