Only pic I could find, some cool colours.
Here's some more fun-facts: 4200lbs (I think). Factory line lock. Factory trans brake. Factory suspension to aid in weight transfer = 35" of wheels in the air. Factory chiller. Factory tuned to run 100oct gas. Seats are $1 each and the crate is $1. Top speed has been electronically governed at about 168 mph - that's all those tyres can handle. And 0-100 kph with a rollout in 2.1 seconds. |

http://www.freep.com/story/money/car...ons/100372536/ All interesting specs - crazy 2.92 ft of front wheel lift come in handy at the shops over those pesky speed bumps. Well under $100k US i would like to see that. |

I reckon the Ford f-150 SVT/ lightning used the air con to chill the glycol in the water-air intercooler. How does the dodge do it?

The concept they made a decade or so ago did but none of the production Lightnings did. You can get aftermarket kits that do the same for various cars, including the LSA equipped GTS.

As long as that decade-old technology didn't leave small puddles along the drag strip.

Demon price is just over 86k but dealerships will most likely blow that out of the water. Looks good! Let it roar FFS .... I think his Nana was in the drivers seat.

Here's a better video of the previous clip. It's actually the CEO that fired it up and took it for a spin.

Interesting allocation process.
'This means that not only will those consumers paying a big markup being paying more, but they will also be waiting longer and they will have a car with a higher serial number' https://www.allpar.com/news/2017/06/...nnounced-38050 |

Some specimens are slowly appearing in public who for the most part know nothing about this car, and will never be ready for it - GOOD!
Here's a couple clips testing at the strip. Can almost see daylight under the front-left tyre in the first vid, and the second clip is somebody getting taught how to launch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsyAqHu9W9I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2JxW7gs78k And 2018 widebody Hellcat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h50WVia8HnE White Demon with satin black graphics package looks awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc89TqYVs6M |

Looks so much fun. And love the sound of it. Even if I lived in the US, I couldn't justify a car built pretty much for drag racing, but it's great for those who can.
I'd take just a regular V8 Challenger. |

They got plenty more options in the TrackHawk or 3 rows of seats in the Durango. None of which are my style but one can quite easily see the attraction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzi6x8i_Qqc |

Engine on a dyno...600 lp of torque at 2,000 rpm?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzLPXoXqh_c And for the nerds here's some clips explaining how the Demon utilizes the air-conditioner for more HP and how it's able to launch so hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLOkr-hUnU4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93MuL4lRrO8 |

Bit of controversy with Motortrend only able to run an 11 with it. Not sure what's going on there.
