Unfortunately, it's not in the budget.

Damn, this a little out of reach for me as well.. Lol. These numbers are crazy.

I wouldn't worry too much about the price.  I'd bet they're all spoken for. :(

 

let the horsepower wars rage on! :D

Did I just die and go to heaven?

The only thing better would be a Grand Cherokee SRT with this Demon in it!

I've got mine on order........  :D

 

 

Actually, with as cool as this car is..... it's definitely been modified to dominate on the 1/4 mile.  If that's what you're after, the Demon is the beast you seek.

 

I'll be keeping my Hellcat.  It checks the boxes of a few racing needs and isn't pidgeon-holed as a single use car.  The Demon got smaller brakes so that the 18" drag radials and wheels would fit.  They changed the sway bars, having gone with hollow bars and lighter resistance.  Rear suspension has been modified to react to a drag launches and firms up, and there are only 2 suspension mode selections.  I can drag race, auto cross, road course my Hellcat.

 

I am a little envious of the intake manifold intercoolers getting cooling help from the car's A/C system..... that's ingenious.

 

I'm also envious that Dodge will be limiting production to the 2018 model year and only 3,300 cars (3,000 US, 300 Canada).  This will keep these cars in collector car status better than the Hellcats. (ex: 11,995 total production Hellcat Challengers made in 2016)

 

Not a fan of the hood and flares, but I do like that the hood does actually supply a true cold air intake "air grabber" style where the Hellcat does not.  The flares look more suited for a road course racer and when the front skinnies are bolted up, looks kinda odd with the huge front splitter and flares.

 

I'm hearing that the MSRP will be in the neighborhood of $85K with a couple guys on Hellcat.org saying they have agreements in place with their dealers to purchase one for $86,400 + taxes.  So I'm guessing these cars will be quickly approaching $95K+ out the door.  Dodge initial release info suggested that they want to help combat price gouging by dealers so they're hand selecting dealerships that will receive car allotments and orders can't be placed without a buyer and down payment - dealers can't buy the cars...... supposedly.  Will be interesting to see if any get advertised by dealers for $130K and whatnot.

I wonder how many of the 3300 will make it past their first year.

I dunno......... I question if the TrackHawk will be able to survive mechanically......... is that AWD drivetrain going to be able to handle the 700 hp?  I couldn't imagine the Demon's 840 hp in one of those.  Gawd, with drag radials?  I see broken diffs and CV shafts at a minimum.

 

But it'd be a hoot breaking 'em......  :yes:

Indeed.  The NHRA banned the Demon from running in sanctioned events without a roll cage.  How many Demon owners are gonna be responsible and pony up $3,500 more for a certified cage and hit the drag strip?  Gonna be lots of street runs.  I see a handful of these getting totaled and unfortunately, probably a couple dead owners.

 

My Hellcat is scary as f*** when it breaks traction under full throttle.  Imagine a Demon on the highway running drag radials on all 4 corners (as equipped from the factory....) and trying the curve of an off ramp at stupid speed..... with smaller brakes and sway bars.......
