You should have to pass a training course before they give you the red key. I give it 24 hours after they begin delivery until someone with more money than skill wraps it around a telephone pole.

840 HP is not for the amateur driver.

I love the options this car has, and I think the performance is amazing. But am I the only one not really liking the look? I love the way the hellcats, srt's, and rt's look, but this looks a bit odd.

Hate the flares. It's an awesome car though. And wait till stock and super stock racers get ahold of them!

There were a lot of Hipo cars and Lopo drivers out there that wrecked their new toys. Darwin theory at work...

According to the report the nhra has already said no to the Demon.

Here's another, bigger article: Challenger Demon Hot Rod article.

Interesting that the sound of the Demon idling in the video sounds like a cat purring!

It also says something about first production car with flares, but the Aspen & Volare Street Kit Cars come to mind.

NHRA said "no" only because it doesn't have a legal roll cage for the 9.99 seconds and faster rules. OEM safety features aren't enough at those speeds. That can be fixed, but will add weight.

Otherwise, it's an absolutely awesome achievement.

My Wife who is a car Journalist and also a Chrysler family was going to cover the unveiling with myself riding shotgun, but a Family emergency occurred and we were sidelined to say the least.

Have fun guys. It's a winner.
Chevrolet and Ford will be answering soon enough.

I Imagine they used the 840HP that they mention. I believe the previous numbers of the three stages was BS that got spread around.

What's the price before the dealers add their F.T.C. (F The Customer) markup?

Very cool car, but FCA goes to all the trouble to hype this thing up and post the performance at the track, and the car as sold isn't legal to run those times.

This makes me think their target audience is rich car collectors who will never get within a mile of a track's burnout box, rich guys who will be adding it to their expensive toy collection (and probably be the first ones to total them before the guys even make it to their garages), and... rich drug dealers who will flog them to death on the street before they have to report to their next quarterly parole officer meeting.

But I could be wrong.

Would it be possible to offer it with a cage that would have to fit every driver?
