Maybe I'm just too old for a Demon. Give me a Mercedes AMG GT any day.

A guy at our family’s dealership traded a new Laramie duallay on 38.5 for a hellcat a few years ago. Talk about a 180.

Looks like you can pick up a new SVR for 100k these days. Big discounts on last years Jags right now.

Every hellcat sold at our family’s dealership has been at MSRP. I see maybe a $5-10k increase on the demon and it will come down.

And why hasn’t Hennessy, Saleen, Bugatti, koenesegg, etc been gone after? Better to go after them than the corporate lawyers Fiat has sitting around.

I figure there are two kinds of buyers for this car.

A) Drag racers.

Nobody is going to use this car as a daily driver (it would probably make for a miserable commute). They'll take it to car shows, maybe run it down the strip once or twice and just use it on the weekends a few times a month.


Send to AL. We sell for sticker here... as for your DD comment a customer traded a Laramie dually on 38.5 for a black Hellcat that he is going to drive daily and that was Over 2 yeas ago.

These reporters must have missed the Koeingsegg Agara R if they think the demon is fast

Dodge Demon

Lol. The weight might get me in the first 60’ with the added traction but by the time it starts to hook the ZR1 will pull away. And if you really want to make it even let me put some slicks on it too and all the tricks they put on it. Not to mention it’s 1000 pounds more than the Corvette. I just don’t see GM letting the demon out run the fastest streetcar GM ever made.

I did just do some rudimentary calculations and if both were not on the 100% legal tires the Demon uses it would need about 960 HP to keep up with the ZR1 in the 1/4 while the Z needs 200+ less and that’s not accounting for aero either and I hope for the demon there aren’t corners. I’m in no way a mopar hater. One of my favorite muscle cars is the Hemi Cuda but I have spent a lot of time at the track and had my doors blown off by some much lighter and less powerful cars. Nothing like losing to a neon in a supercharged vette. I’ve also been left looking like a minivan by a Evo and Supra but the Supra has about 1400 hp so not exactly fair. That’s just the few that really stuck with me.

I’ll never understand why someone has to put down something to make their opinion right.

I just don’t get it.

SpeedKore’s carbonized Dodge Demon

https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...peedkore-demon

"...purchase a Demon for $86,090 (or $86,091 with the vital “Demon Crate”), then take it to SpeedKore. The full reskin costs another $90,000, takes about 90 days...."

In the new f type I would get the small six and flash it for the 380 hp. however. it is the most solid jag in recent memory, bumps feel like you are in a q5 audi not a jaguar.

I need to let my Brother-in-law know about that. 3-4 months ago we had 2 Hellcats at one dealership and 1 at another. Only 1 left now but they sold at sticker. Now I think the demon will bring a nice premium for a year or two.
