I have GOT to get a test-ride in one of these! :clap:

Careful Bob. I would imaging test drives in that are just as dangerous as test riding the latest Spyder. nojoke

 

[Bob Denman]

Not if you don't actually have any money... :roflblack: :2thumbs:

I think you'd have a tough time getting a test drive in one of these baby's. It was tough enough to take a Hellcat out. Although quite dangerous, I applaud Dodge for going above and beyond on this one! I'd LOVE to floorboard the thing just once! I think the guys that grew up in the "era of speed" (60's and early 70's) would have a better chance handling the power of this brute. 0 to 60 in 2.3 is mind blowing for a street machine let alone 9 second 1/4 miles! The question always comes up: Where would you use that power? The few people that would buy this car should be ready to spend a lot more money getting it ready to race. The first time you turned low 10's or broke into the 9's, they'd throw you off the track! No roll cage for one and a bunch more things.....
BUT WHAT A BEAST! Bob, I'm with you! Let's figure out how to get one for a day - or even an hour - for the thrill of a lifetime!!

We're gonna have to start calling every Dodge dealer between us, and see if we can find one who is a bit... naive! :thumbup:

Ideally: he'd have a Hellcat AND the new Demon... a bit of a "comparison" would just have to happen!

At Barret Jackson this past weekend, the were set up doing demo rides in Hellcats, Z06 Vettes and more. The hellcat was only impressive spinning tires off the corner. Vette for me please.

Seriously, I think if we did that we'd actually find one or two that WOULD! :shocked:

Why use the name of a previous Dodge Dart (sister of the Plymouth Duster) for a different model Challenger. They couldn't come up with something more original? In any case, it is fassssssssst.

 

[Bob Denman]

It doesn't matter what it's called: it's just pure badass! nojoke

So, Bob, you want a Demon-stration? That's what I found they used when the first Dodge Demon was announced in the '70s.

Well....

At least if you can't handle it you won't take anyone with you....:roflblack:
