Dodge Demon

i wish, just an internet photo, yeah Raj was trying to get some guys to bet on saying the 9.65 wasn't possible
 
Saw this on the road today and grabbed a snap. Over by the old Viper plant on Outer Drive. No badge but has the wheels. The M-plate is what caught my eye.

All of the times were off car's 1/4 mile timer. There were 9.xx runs at the media event, just not by media members. In pretty much every review the journos admitted to being overmatched by car even while running low tens.. Not a lot of drag racers. In a ride alongs with FCA guys who could drive there were 9 second runs.

I don't think I ever followed up to this. I gotta go to a drive event and and about a dozen passes at 131. I'm not a drag racer. I think I had about 4 "clean" passes and ran a 10.2 (would have corrected to high 9s), lifted the wheels. The Dodge guys were in the 9s during demos. It's gonna take most owners a while to get use to the launch sequence, but once they do 9.65 won't be an issue.

Unlike other un-named manufacturers, Dodge typically lowballs their numbers. If they are advertising 9.65, their hot shoe probably ran 9.40s with it.

I'm seeing that as well with the TrackHawks. Jeep officially claims 0-60 in I want to say 3.6. Owners are getting anywhere from 3.1-3.4 pretty regularly as well as one 3.4 UPHILL LOL

I'm honestly really thinking about ordering a Demon now... I think I need that in my life LOL
 
Yeah our run-of-the-mill drivers were pulling 3.2 second 0-60s with the trackhawks. And what did they originally advertise for Scat Packs, the laughable 4.5 second 0-60? With stock tires people were getting 4.1 and high 3's were only sticky tires away. Heck, I can't drive and got 4.5 with my manual scat pack, and they are sloooww.
 
This thing is up and down Featherstone and Opdyke like everyday....he stays away from all red 93 coupes he sees approaching. :) smart guy.
