7th car announcement

[BULL]

Once you're above about E60 it's pretty good fuel and with the flex sensor golden.

Just stumbled onto this:
https://www.stellpower.com/news-2023/dodge-challenger-srt-demon-170-1025-horsepower/

There is no special computer to install: from the factory, the Demon 170 will run on anything between 93-octane gasoline and E85, with the computer adjusting on the fly for the fuel detected. The engine computer monitors the level of ethanol in the system; when it finds more than 65% ethanol, all 1,025 horsepower is unlocked without the driver doing anything. ​

Damn, I hope there is a way to retrofit the fuel system, rails w/ sensor! They should flood the DC parts network with anything and everything cool, cuz we sure as hell ain't buying the POS cars coming...

I've been making calls non-stop all morning; it doesn't look good. The awareness from the original Demon has everyone educated on the ADM potential and doesn't bode well for a reasonable purchase.

FYI no time shown for the pass Demon 170 made in Vegas:

I saw a video last night and saw no time. Da was showing 2400 so it wouldn't go 8s there so no time

Tell the dealers you talk to that you don't want pay ADM (nor do they want to charge it) because it risks being at the back of the line in production and then they can't sell you ANY car...

WTF

How much for 2 front seats 15K

I'm pretty sure this is Tim saying FU to sunroof buyers, he was really annoyed with that on the original Demon, so I feel like this is him saying, "Fine, you want a sunroof, you're going to PAY for it."

 

[Smitty]

The feed I was watching I thought a heard someone in crowd say "that is not good" (something to that effect) towards the end of the run. I thought something went wrong? I never saw the time live?

I heard that too and was wondering what he was talking about 🤷🏼‍♂️

Blast from the past...

“The Demon isn’t coming back,” said Kuniskis. “You know what would happen, if those 3,300 people that paid a lot of money for a serialized car, do you know what they would do to me if we brought it back?”

Curious why they called it a Demon?

That whole situation is confounding. They know there's going to be backlash.

I agree, for the sake of the Demon owners, they should have called it something else. I mean "SRT Demon 170" isn't terribly catchy, no more or less than say "SRT Challenger LC170" - I actually like that better if they had integrated Last Call into it

Maybe they are all about pissing everyone off at this point going forward

Dodge is all about pissing off all of us gas burner guys, but you can bet that their legal team knows they will win any lawsuit over the name.

I enjoy the shade slamming back during launch so the sun comes in and blinds me.

^^^ @Speedy has that problem too ;-)

You can tell how good the launch was by how far it goes back.

They've done strange things like this since 2008!
