Challenger Srt Demon 200 less than a Hellcat, pairing lightweight suspension, wheels and brakes with a single-seat interior.
>One seat why... is this true
200 pounds sounds like a lot of weight, until you realize a Hellcat weighs near 4500 lbs

200lbs less that a Hellcat...
>needing to gut your interior to make your performance car weigh less than 2 metric tons
>literally 600 lbs heavier than a gt350r
pushcucks. when will they learn?
>>16969118
it's a drag car anon.
>>16969118
Not once has Dodge ever advertised any Challenger as a track car. It's a modern day muscle car. If you're worried about weight then get a Viper. The Viper is a track car, the Challenger is not.
>>16969140
>Copypasta
You have got to hand it to Ralph Gilles... the Chief Designer for Chrysler... he is an absolute performance enthusiast, as well as a very fine designer... unique as all, get out. No one has done more than Ralph to rescue Chrysler from the evils of Mercedes Benz and the goddamn "Venture Capitalists" than Ralph. He graduated from the Center for Creative Studies where he studied Automotive Design and learned about Design History, which he also knows. So give Ralph some credit! He was president for a short while, but why would anyone wand that when it's a lot more fun battling in the trenches. In the history of Automotive design he stands out as singular.
dodge is cringey desu

>>16969444
That looks more like a destruction derby than a track.
Just install one? What, were they dumb enough to sit the driver dead-center or something? Doesn't look like it from the pictures.
I agree it's stupid though, we all know most Challengers sold never make it to a dragstrip or track. They're purely status symbols in most cases, I wouldn't expect the Demon or Hellcat to be any different.
>tfw yurocuck
>tfw they're 150k+tip in EU
>tfw will never own a glorious Hellcat Challenger with 707hp of MERKIA FUCK YEAH
>>16969694
yet there are several videos of Hellcats at the track (getting destroyed by Teslas)
>>16969698
Hellcat values are going down once the Demon hits

cherry picked runs of americans who cant shift
and still the electric awd toy still cant win
>>16969717
to be fair its mostly because the drivers are fucking idiots who whether try to launch on street tires or simply dont know how to drive
>>16969722
>cant shift
most Hellcats are automatic
that car is also on drag tires
P100D runs 10.7s too
>>16969733
>that car is also on drag tires
and? its a drag strip
>muh awd toy that costs 50k more
lmao. the hellcat and shed some weight and up the boost, run 9s without a hassle. what can the tesla do? nothing LMAO

It's called a gimmick. People buy them.
>>16969892
10.9 is slower than 10.7 :^)
>>16969931
The model s goes through the quarter in 10.7 seconds. so yes, dodge's pushshit sedan can't compete. rotflmao btfo
Question:
What moron would buy this rather than just stripping the interior and putting drag slicks on the much cheaper normal hellcat
>>16969956
there is more to the Demon than that
>>16969956
Assume logic is not a deciding factor on their intended demographic. It becomes clearer.
It's like Porsche charging an extra ten grand to remove the stereo for you.
>Strip the interior to the point of leaving just 1 seat
>Still over 4000pounds
Fucking dodge making all that marketing bullshit over what is just a fat Cobra jet or Copo.
>>16969936
10.72 :^)

>Hey guys, look, we made the air con cool the engine and we stripped it out so much it only has 1 seat!
>$80k
>High 10s
Or you can make a foxbody do 9s for under $20k, and then spend $60k on a cruiser that isn't fat as all fuck
I think /o/ is too retarded to grasp this car or any other factory performance vehicles for that matter
>>16970013
its 80k for a car that will run mid low 10s or even 9s reliably with modern comforts tech and safety all backed by a warranty
no one cares about your cobbled together shitbox
>>16970017
>modern comforts tech and safety
>1 seat
Nice try fca shill, but you're not convincing anyone that this is a street car.
>>16970017
And nobody cares about some stupid boomer fuck going 'muh investment' and taking their 100-miles-per-year overpriced pig mobile on the track and running a time achievable by a fucking civic built in the backyard by a 17 year old
This piece of shit is heavy, slow, expensive, unreliable and looks dated as fuck because it hasn't been updated in a decade
>>16970026
its not even that crazy
this is a street car in the US
not my fault you guys are ignorant af
>>16970028
0/10
>>16970031
Yes that's the perfect car to go to work, fucking retard. Just because you can drive it on the road doesn't mean it's a street car.
>>16970034
Im sorry what
if it drives on the road legally that makes it a street car
fucking lmao@you
>>16969118
>80k for this ugly, comically heavy pos with one seat and no a/c
>>16970031
and this is street legal here
>>16970042
yeah its legal in the US too
and slow af compared to that Camaro
>>16970043
try tracking the camaro
>>16970046
ok it runs 6s at over 200 mph
its kinda a car made to go fast at a track
>>16970053
track =/= drag strip
try cornering with an ultima gtr and with a funny car
>>16970039
It has AC. In addition to keeping you cold they use it for chilling the intercooler instead of having a cold water spray or whatever.
>>16970043
this is legal over here too
>>16970118
that car is slower than a handful of cars in the US now
that Camaro included
and these are cars that drive on the road for a thousand miles making passes all week
he has to beat 5.85 to get his record back
>>16969698
>150k+tip
kek
Why can't Americans drop one of their massive v8 engines into a small chassis?
>>16970028
>hasn't been updated in a decade
>still looks better than 90% of the cars in the market
really makes you think, it's like Dodge's designs are timeless and it's a modern classic
>>16970581
That is a small chasis

You would think /o/ would welcome a 1 seat car. It's not like anyone on here drives with passengers anyways
>>16969936
The Tesla gets two runs in maybe three before it goes into safe mode. Tesla is specifically designed to run the quarter as fast as possible, it immediately runs out of steam after the quarter.
Theres no shame in losing to the fastest production sedan ever.
>>16972220
>damage control
the post
>>1697222
what damage, the Tesla is fast AF. but also costs over 100k and can only do it a few times before charging.
All cars have advantages and disadvantages, buy whatever makes you happy, or just shit all over whatever makes other people happy. Its easier to be a critic on the internet than to like something.
>>16972244
>and can only do it a few times
If a "few times" counts as over 30 times without affecting 0-60 performance then sure.
>>16972260
no you cannot run the quarter all night in ludicrous mode on a single charge
your cherry picking the 0-60 because you already know running the full quarter requires somewhere in the range of 3x the battery used
>>16972299
what? yes, you can. it just takes a few minutes for the car to cool and you do it again and again and again.

Judging by the mysterious green underglow below the old R/T, it's not even a real photo.
>>16972308
No you can't. What autism is this? It's an electric car that can't do 10.7s more than 2-3 times without requiring more electric. AND it has to be cooled between each.
>>16972542
yes, you literally can. memes spread by autists on /o/ aren't true.
according to the vid they released today it runs low 10s at 13x mph going by what I could make out on the timeslip
>>16972529
its from Car and Driver and there are multiple shots
of course its real

New Miata weighs the same as the original Miata. Fat Detroit is the result of laziness, not laws.
