Good, this is annoying as fuck. There comes a point where "teasing" goes on for too long and people lose interest.

Maybe if I had 100k to blow I would care more, but this shit has gone on wayyyyyy too long

If anyone here plays Overwatch, there was an ARG for the release of a new character, It went on for months. People had to decode encrypted pictures and text. Look up Rhykker? on youtube he has videos about it.

the quarter is impressive, but the mph and hp are a let down, IMO.

[Mallard]

It will lift the tires when the 315's or the skinnys are on...

Just watched the video on Facebook. Pretty amazing. Great time to be alive with muscle cars. Will be interesting to see if anyone else tries to compete with it

808/717 and 9.90 et on pump gas with the 315s up front, 840/770 and 9.65 et with the high octane and skinnies. That's with a 3 yr/36k bumper to bumper and 5 yr/60k drivetrain warranty that covers drag strip usage as long as the car is left stock. What a time to be alive.

[jerrodh]

Amazing warranty haha. Includes drag strip use.

[caseyctsv]

Pretty awesome numbers- especially with a warranty. So do we think Hellcat prices suffer? You can already get a used one in the mid-40s.

Cool, a $90,000 car that goes fast in a straight line. Edited April 12, 2017 by Not Brian

I'm not hating on the thing, it's built to do 1 thing and that's to beat the shit out of your father in law from traffic light to traffic light. (My father in law and I have done this. )

 

 

That being said I wish they would have cracked the 1000hp mark.

 

PS. I always thought the late 60s and early 70s were the best years in automotive history, and I realize we are in the best times now.

[Miller]

I'm impressed. You're drunk on haterade if you're not. A comfortable car backed with a warranty that covers racing abuse and makes 800+hp? If you're mad at 90k look what the Cobra Jets gave you for $90K.

[2 Sweet]

0-60 in 2.3 seconds in a stock production car.....seriously.....I can't even imagine what that feels like

So don't 9's require cage? My question is how can you use the car for its purpose stock when it's not allowed to run that time

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon runs the quarter-mile in 9.65 seconds. That's great news for drag racing fans—it's the quickest factory-stock quarter-mile car ever built. But as Dodge was happy to point out at the car's unveiling in New York, that means the Demon is technically banned from NHRA events, which require a full roll cage in any car that runs 9s.

 

Does that mean you won't be able to run your Demon at NHRA events? Not quite.

 

"Anything that runs under 10 seconds or over 135 mph requires an NHRA certified cage," Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands at Fiat Chrysler, told Road & Track. "But you've got to remember: We ran 9.65 with [Challenger SRT development manager and experienced drag racer] Jim Wilder driving the car, probably having 500 runs under his belt, having a ton of seat time in the car, on a good prepped track surface.

 

"For the average owner, the trans brake is a pretty difficult feature to figure out," Kusinskis explained. "It's gonna take the average owner quite a while to get really comfortable with the car [...] before they get into the nine-second range. But they need to know, the car has that absolute capability once they get that technique down and are able to drive it to the absolute limit, and that's the reason we had it NHRA certified."

 

And luckily for those Demon owners, the nine-second cage rule only applies to individual cars. So if you show up at an NHRA-sanctioned event and the best you can do is a 10.01-second quarter-mile? You're in the clear, and you can run as long as you like. But as soon as you dip into the nines, you'll have to have a cage or you're done for the day.

 

If you're a serious drag-racing Demon owner, though, don't think of the 9.65 factory time as the absolute limit for your Challenger.

 

"I know that people are gonna go and put real slicks on it instead of the drag radials, and they're gonna do some of the other things they do in the tuning industry," Kuniskis told R&T. "And that's honestly why we upgraded the drivetrain as much as we did. The drivetrain is really upgraded, and the trans brake is actually set to go to 2350 rpm. On [factory] drag radials you're never gonna launch this car at 2350—you'll launch it below that, so you can spike the converter a little bit. But the guy who's gonna put real slicks on it probably will get up to the 2000-2300 range, so we wanted to give them that capability built in from day one," he told us.

 

Just make sure you've got an NHRA-approved cage if you decide to go that route (plenty of which are available through the aftermarket). Because with genuine, non-DOT drag slicks and an experienced driver, the Challenger SRT Demon will undoubtedly run deep into the low nines.

So don't 9's require cage? My question is how can you use the car for its purpose stock when it's not allowed to run that time

 

Cage and a comp license to run at NHRA events/tracks. Dodge actually makes it a selling point in the brochure that it is "banned" by the NHRA (it's not banned it just doesn't meet safety out of the box).

The car would never have passed highway safety requirements with a cage so it had to be delivered with out one. If I were dodge I would have built roll cage plates into the car's structure and offered a bolt in/weld in accessory cage, so we will see if this is actually happening.

 

 

the only thing I am disappointed about is that it's 800+ hp and not 1000hp. oh, and that it isn't stick and never will be. But I think the warranty makes up for that, sort of, and the auto makes sense for it's intended purpose.

 

 

who is going to be the first to buy a white one and try and drive it cross country on a handful of amphetamines?

Explaining the Math Behind All Those Demon Easter Eggs

For weeks, Dodge teased us with numerical hints at the Demon's performance numbers. Here's what every one of them meant.

Dodge spent weeks—weeks!—teasing the world with hint-heavy videos and images ahead of the Challenger SRT Demon's debut. At the car's official unveiling, we sat down with SRT's Tim Kuniskis and asked him to decode all of the numerical nods that showed up in Demon previews. Here are the Demon mysteries, explained.

 

http://roa.h-cdn.co/assets/17/15/480x320/dg018_077cl359o19e2si4phuf42cm4ck552t.jpg

 

The first hidden message was contained in one of the earliest Demon images released, showing the car equipped in its most lightweight trim: With a single driver's seat only. But take a closer look at that block off plate, sitting low in the center of where the seat would be installed.

 

http://roa.h-cdn.co/assets/17/15/480x265/dg018_079cl1b63dhpk2cevrgh88avhaeh3do.jpg

 

"This was one of our earliest Easter eggs," Kuniskis told R&T. "We said, nothing is an accident. What nobody realized is, that's a picture of the Demon doing a wheelie on that panel. So we told everybody from day one that it does a wheelie." In fact, it does: On launch, the Demon pulls its wheels 35 inches in the air, a production car world record certified by Guinness Book.

 

http://roa.h-cdn.co/assets/17/15/480x270/dg018_119cl90fgutssjuefbtap0l946khm69.jpg

 

Hovering in the burnout smoke in this image is a puzzling equation: 13.5 = 575 @ 500. "This one was kind of tough," Kuniskis said. It breaks down to this: At 13.5 mph, the car is accelerating with a force of 1.8 g, which roughly translates to an acceleration of 57.5 feet per second squared—all of which happens at 0.500 seconds into your drag run, hence the 500.

 

http://roa.h-cdn.co/assets/17/15/480x320/dg018_120cln71ja2v0f3cv4cpvidcdc4bce.jpg

 

"This one all depended on your age," Kuniskis said. "If you were under 40, you thought it was a hashtag; if you were over 40 it was a pound sign." Chalk one up for the older folks: "The license plate tells you what the weight transfer is—2576 lbs is what's required to transfer to the rear to teeter-totter this car and lift the front end," Kuniskis said. The 35? That's how high the car lifts its front wheels, in inches, on launch, as verified by Guinness Book.

 

http://roa.h-cdn.co/assets/17/15/480x270/dg018_121cld7i39ro86o8fvh1cs00b0qfrks.jpg

 

Are you getting the impression these Easter eggs are all about the launch? This one is too. The Demon's "Torque Reserve" boost-building mode allow the supercharger to build up 3.9 lbs of boost, which increases torque by 221 lb-ft. over a stock Hellcat's output at launch, for a total of 405 lb-ft. of torque going to the ground the moment you launch from the starting line.

 

http://roa.h-cdn.co/assets/17/15/480x270/dg018_122clfi4r1ggnrp0193pmd3ciojg4a9.jpg

 

But what if Torque Reserve isn't enough? Engaging the Demon's trans brake allows you to build even more boost and power as you're lining up to launch. With both systems engaged, the car builds 8.3 lbs of boost as it's revving at the starting line, adding 317 lb.-ft. of torque over what a stock Hellcat would make, for a grand total of 534 lb.-ft. going to the wheels the instant the Demon launches. Kusinskis explained to R&T how Torque Reserve and the trans brake feature allow the Demon to cut such outrageous quarter-mile times; read all about it here.
