Mallard Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Next video so what's the 13.5 = 575 @ 500. Maybe Boost,torque,RPMs? Dodge Resurrects the Demon: Teaser Video No. 7 – ‘Third Law’ "Third Law,” the seventh video in the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon pre-reveal teaser campaign, launches today Fans should visit http://www.ifyouknowyouknow.com for weekly updates, to download sharable content and for a countdown to its reveal Dodge’s new ultimate performance halo to be unveiled during 2017 New York International Auto Show week Use hashtag #DodgeDemon to be a part of the next chapter in the Dodge performance story February 23, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat’s supercharged HEMI® produces all the power required to run quicker and faster quarter-mile ETs than its balanced suspension and tuning enable. This is because, as extreme as the Challenger SRT Hellcat is, it was always intended to strike that perfect balance between drag strip brute force, road course competence and street car civility. Anyone who has driven a Hellcat will attest that it has an incredible “personality bandwidth,” depending on how a driver configures the power level, suspension, transmission, traction and stability controls. It truly is the ultimate “do everything” muscle car. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, however, has a different mission. Designed to be highly competent in all drive modes and configurations, the SRT Demon is made to absolutely dominate in Drag Mode. In the coming weeks, Dodge will share more of the Drag Mode attributes. But this week, the focus is on how Drag Mode, in combination with the SRT Demon’s all-new suspension, maximizes weight transfer, traction and control … because burnouts are fun, but they don’t win races. The “old school” solution was pretty simple – get the quickest reacting springs upfront, the softest rebound front shocks that wouldn’t restrict the springs' reaction, remove any restrictions (sway bar) and increase the compression of the rear shocks. This combination resulted in extremely efficient weight transfer, but provided minimal lateral stability in the event that directional corrections were required. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon combines the best of both mechanical and electronic tuning to deliver maximum launch force while still maintaining precision directional control. The SRT Demon is the first-ever factory production car with mechanical/electronic drag-race-specific suspension tuning. The “Third Law” teaser video, released February 23, helps illustrate the benefit of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon’s new Drag Mode mechanical/electronic suspension tuning. Hardware: 35 percent lower rate front springs/28 percent lower rate rear springs 75 percent lower rate hollow front sway bar/44 percent lower rate rear sway bar Drag-tuned Bilstein Adaptive Damping Shocks Software: Rear = F/F and Front = F/S F/F – F/S maintained @ wide open throttle (WOT) F/F – F/F < WOT Traction control disabled/ESC maintained Result: 13.5=575@500 Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 There are drag radials on the front and rear. Hmmmm Yea, they already explained that it was built so that when you buy the crate with the car, you have two sets of drag radials. The crate has two skinnies inside it, so at the track you swap the fronts and have 4 tires to rotate on the rear.

The_buster Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Debate we are having at work and I can't seem to find a straight answer... Is it going to be AWD? I read a thing on Jalopnic? that said maybe. Has there been any confirmation on that? If so I would love to see that in the charger platform, maybe bring back the daytona again, but better.

Mallard Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 And this week's reveal: This week, the newest Challenger SRT Demon teaser, “Race-hardened Parts,” unveiled March 2 at http://www.ifyouknowyouknow.com, explains how the Demon's driveline is upgraded to handle these increased loads. Compared with the Challenger Hellcat, critical driveline updates include: Upgraded prop shaft increases torque capacity by 15 percent: Accomplished through the use of high-strength steel, a 20-percent increase in tube thickness and heat treated stub-shafts. Upgraded differential housing, with 30 percent increased torque capacity: Accomplished through the use of heat-treated A383 aluminum alloy and a higher strength gear set material that has been shot-peened to increase durability and reduce residual stresses. Upgraded 41-spline half shafts that deliver 20 percent increased torque capacity: Accomplished through the use of increased diameter high-strength low alloy steel and 8-ball joints that improve torque capacity while reducing operating temperatures by more than 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the SRT engineers went digital to isolate and resolve one of the biggest challenges to clean launches and driveline integrity – wheel hop. In simple terms, wheel hop happens when tires quickly slip and regain traction at launch, rapidly storing up and releasing energy in the driveline. These high torque spikes can quickly and severely damage driveline components – and up until now, the only solution was to back out of the throttle. Not with the Challenger SRT Demon. In a first for a factory production car, the SRT Demon’s Launch Assist uses the wheel speed sensors to watch for signs that the tires are slipping/sticking. If slip is detected, the SRT Demon’s control module momentarily reduces engine torque to maximize traction almost instantly – without the driver having to lift. Launch Assist reduces loads in the driveline from wheel hop by more than 15-20 percent, dramatically reducing component damage. And finally ... for the driver, there is a new four-point harness bar, available through Speedlogix, for use while at the track. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon’s rear seat is deleted and mounting points are made accessible, making it easy for customers to install the bar without cutting or drilling anything in the car.

The_buster Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Slightly off topic discussion, since there is going to be an AWD hellcat. Stock for Stock GTR vs Hellcat AWD. Which would have the advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
