I have zero faith in anyone from gaypar (allpar) and yes bunch of babies on that site. And everyone of them thinks that "no one knows more then the people on allpar"

Yes, Malicious needs to find a legitimate source. Holeshot doesn't manufacture anything like the Demon wheels. Theirs are mainly lightweight 3-piece versions with their fully CNC machined one piece styles limited to fronts only. I've been associated with Holeshot and running their wheels for over 20 years and they are less than a 1/2 hour away from me. As mentioned earlier, their race-only wheels would have been appropriate for the Drag Pacs. I couldn't imagine another wheel company called "Holeshot". There is another guy here in Daytona who deals with exotic wheels for other applications, but it's a different company with another name. Insider on allpar oh20 said they were made by Holeshot - and if true, they would be made by them to FCA's specs, not something off their shelf. Just like the tires on the thing. Let me rephrase what I said.....Holeshot does not make that type of wheel because they don't have the capability of making it. They make lightweight drag wheels, not heavier street legal stuff. (Although, like other race-only brands, some people do drive with them on the street.) Their wheels are mainly CNC'd, not forged (or however the Demon wheels are made.) Bottom line is that the Demon wheels are not made by Holeshot Wheels in Bunnell, FL. The publicity can't hurt, just gotta look elsewhere for the actual source. The owner did find it a little humorous. But now I am curious about FCA's Drag Pac wheel contract.

If I had to guiess. The demon wheels (at least what have seen) are cast. I doubt that they have someone cut some billet. Wheels for the demon's And they did they would had to started long time ag . Unless the plan is to only make 500-1000 cars

6Here is a image flash. In the last judgement day vid (around the 9 sec mark) it would seam that it's yanking the front wheels to get the rocker panel at that angle So. Based on that image. How far off the ground would the front wheels be. To achieve a rocker panel angle like that on a new challenger?

For the guys that didn't watch it live. Said car will have 8 pounds boost at the tree. And will be at full boost(14) in just 6 feet 0-30 mph in one second 0-100 5.1 second . 60-0mph in 98 feet (with the skinny tires on it)

Notice the lack of body/chassis flex in both pics posted above, seems like a very rigid platform, wonder if its more then a base challenger?
Pigs can really fly, since many have called the challenger a big pig due to its size.
I also wonder what back to back runs with only the front tire change would produce, id bet zero. Get them will you can cuz I do believe the writing is in the wall. Matt

It's a good time to be an independently wealthy Mopar man. Updated to reflect reality for the majority of the people on here. Love the car -- well, except for the fender flairs -- but it's a total effing pipe dream for most folks.
