2018 Dodge Demon has 840 HP and runs 9s!

[Defiant]

facts:

- 808 HP on 91 octane pump gas
- 840 HP and 770 LB-FT TQ on 100 octane race fuel (has a high octane button and sensor)
- Does the 1/4 mile in 9.65 seconds @ 140mph on race fuel
- Does 9.9 in the 1/4 mile on pump gas with 315 mm tires up front
- 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds (2.1 with a 1ft rolllout), 0-100mph in 5.1 seconds
- Comes factory with 315 mm drag radials on all four corners
- Does wheelies for 3 feet (even with the 315 tires up front)
- Weighs 4250 lbs (200+ lbs removed by using lighter parts and removing rear and passenger seats)
- Frst production car with a trans brake and 2 step. It builds 8.3 PSI boost and 534 LB-FT TQ on the line
- Stopping distance from 60mph - 0 is 97 feet (with the 315 section tires up front)
- To get the passenger seat back costs $1, rear seat is also $1, and the optional crate package is $1
- The crate contains a PCM with a race fuel map on it (100 octane), custom Dodge Demon floor jack, tools, air filter etc.. and includes skinny front runner tires. The crate parts must be installed to run 9.65 (from what I understand)
- It's the worlds most powerful production V8
- The supercharger is a larger 2.7L IHI unit making 14.5 psi peak boost
- Banned from NHRA competition use because it's too fast to not have a roll cage

Just what people who don't know how to drive need. We will see plenty of those wrapped around trees just like the Hell Cats and GT500s unfortunately.

Still sick though.

Once again bought not built. You could build that for much less. People who buys these cause they can't build em shudnt have em. As monkey said, they'll end up wrapped around s tree.

"Well Mr. Smith, we're sorry you totaled your new hellcat. Here's your insurance check to buy a new one."

"Aaaaaahhh hell nah, I'z gonna go buyz me one of dem demonz!!"







Yeah, we know it's coming!!!

yeah because warranties are nice.

Don't the base models crash more often though? I remember hearing a few years back from a Ford tech that when mustangs come into the shop, the base models were usually thrashed so much harder than a Cobra or Shelby.

Here's a lil info most don't realize. Read the fine print on most of those high end built beast. Most have a disclaimer that if found you were "racing" and other stupid shit they will void your warranty. Any high end muscle has always had goofy disclaimers like that.

It's like when when the focus, can't remember if it was Saleen or roush, came with a nitrous bottle that was installed but disconnected. There was a warranty sticker across the valve inlet and if you pulled that sticker off to hook up the bottle it voided your warranty

Yeah, I believe that was Saleen. Not going to lie, I really liked those little things haha.

I think the Demon is bad ass honestly. It's really in a class of it's own. Unfortunately it's produced by Dodge, so the front end will fall out of it before it hits 60k miles. Although most tracks won't even let you run it in stock form. So unless buyers immediately put a cage in it, they will be limited to street racing, which, personally, I'm strongly against.

A kid here has the focus, it's s bad lil'biotch!!! Lol

Yes, no track will let you make more than one pass. Once you run a sub10 time you have to have a minimum of a 4point if I remember correctly. And yes, 90% of these idiots will be racing on streets either killing themselves or someone else.

Actually they deliberately stated that it comes with its own insurance that covers drag racing. The guy even said the power train warranty includes the race fuel setting.

Yes drag racing, which you can't do in its factory condition. By the time you modify it to make it track legal you've far ended the warranty they give you. No company is going to build something like that and actually warranty it. They'd go under cause you can't race at that level and not break stuff daily.

reminds me of the GTR when it came out. Didn't the use of launch control or something like that create issues with the tranny and they reserved the right to void the warranty if they thought it was used?

Nothing wrong with cars like this. Here recently I have been dreaming of a roush already done/completed/warrantied

Yes I believe their early models had transmission failures and launch control voided the warranty. I think they remedied this later though. Tesla had a similar thing, where power was limited after a few all-out launches without warning until the car cooled down enough. People complained and they removed it. I know Porsche lets you launch the crap out of their cars and it's still 100% covered. Some guy did a video where he launched it 100 or so times in a row just to prove it won't break down or limit power.

 

[evilcw311]

No you can't. Any nmra/nhra sanctioned track can not legally let you run in the 9's without a cage which these cars don't. There is several rules that these cars can't race under in factory condition.

Only racing they can do in factory condition is street racing and they will do that poorly and dangerously cause they won't hook on the street.

Do yourself a favor and research drag strip rules and regulations. When you see all the requirements and compare to the demon and realize that most of the requirements will void all warranty it has you will see the problem.

Right, so because a cage is required to go 9.99 and quicker, that means everyone should pack up and go home instead of have fun running low 10s all day reliably. You said it can't drag race, it clearly can. Nobody is forcing you to go single digits.

The car will come from factory with roll cage mounting points, now I wonder why they would do such a thing..

And I can't imagine a cage voiding a power train warranty. Engine modifications? Sure. But that's a given. They specifically stated that nitrous and pulley swaps will void the warranty.

Your whole argument is moot, what matters is it's a record setting production car with a warranty. Not everyone has the patience/knowledge to build a 9 second capable car. And definitely not one that can be driven daily and comply with emissions.

With only 3300 being made, you'll be lucky to see one at all, much less wrapped around a tree

All the top shelf Mercedes coupes and M-Spec BMW's are the same, Merc has amazing customer support - Had a guy at the track with his SLK55 AMG, the warranty even covered the tyre wear at the track (drag racing only, circuit racing was excluded)

Was a cool car (amazing exhaust note too), but couldn't get under high 13's since it broke traction every chance it had, even with traction control on - was trapping in excess of 110mph!

 

[mcglsr2]

Oh, and cool car. I'll be even more impressed if Dodge takes lessons learned from this and applies to all their other cars to better the Brand. That will be cool. Any brand manufacturer could make a car like this. Yes, it's cool they did. For sure. But the existence of the car itself isn't as impressive to me as what they do with that now that they did it.

If Geo made a supercar, but continued to make crap cars.....then who cares about that supercar?
