CNN Money:
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is not a car for normal people. For starters, it comes standard with only one seat.
Because passenger seats, and passengers, weigh too much and would slow it down. Your friends aren’t worth that.
Then there’s the engine. The Demon’s 840-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 is the most powerful V8 engine ever put into a regular production car. That makes the Demon the most powerful factory-produced muscle car … ever.
No passenger seat? What the heck fun is that?
Like a bat out of . . .
Just the thing to cure my midlife crisis. Can it be midair refueled? I’ve got to get from Virginia to California in a hurry.
Somewhere in all this, is a hairy palm joke.
I think I need 1000+ horsepower to compensate for my inadequacies.
There are too many demons as it is, although many have left Washington D.C..
A 9 second quarter mile off the show room floor. Holy crap. You need certain skills to drive that. And most people don’t have them. As I remember the DOT was trying to set horsepower restrictions on production cars spurred on by the Hell Cat and the new Vette. This will certainly get them going again.
Yeah, but it’s a Dodge…
Not so fast! There’s the FireBall Camaro, 990HP. They are now selling near NASCAR levels. Only $90K to drive in the slow lane.

In a 45 mph zone the car can only go 45 mph just like my car.
What’s the point?

They’re using laughing gas to get their power. Not fair.
one seater ?
how you going to get laid in that ?
PHenry,
When you get to the top of Afton Mountain you wont touch down till you cross the Mississippi River.
Only production car certified by Guinness to pull a wheelie. 2.9 ft!

Reminded me of this:
This is one of those things that’s certainly unfortunate, but about as surprising as seeing toes emerge from a sock. The first Challenger Hellcat sold in Colorado has been wrecked, and it appears the accident happened about an hour after the car was bought. Somehow, a new-to-the-driver 707 HP car proved tricky to control. Woah.
People really need to grow the fuck up.
They should name the car either “mid life crisis” or … “The John Wayne Bobbitt” or just “the Bobbittier” for short.
@ Davy – Websters Dictionary: Dodge (v) To Avoid.
No passenger seat, they don’t want you put your fat ass friends in the car then complain the you can no longer pull a wheelie!
I don’t care what they do anymore, they’ll never be the MOPAR of yesteryear…Not in this day and age of hybrid bullshit vehicles that run on unicorn farts to appease the effin liberals.
Because the 700hp Hellcat didn’t cause enough casualties…
Isn’t Dodge now a FIAT, Fix-It-Again-Tony, prodotto?
This is car is sort of like one of those fashion designers’ weird ass creations you see going down the runway. Do they really expect a woman to buy AND wear a dress made of Russet potato skins stapled together, Kleenex box shoes, and a hat made from empty rolls of Duct Tape? No. But its fun to talk about.
“Do they really expect a woman to buy AND wear a dress made of Russet potato skins stapled together, Kleenex box shoes, and a hat made from empty rolls of Duct Tape?”
MJA’s off the meds again?
a moon shiner or drug runner may buy one. If you need that much speed to get to work on time- just wake up and leave 10 minutes earlier. speed kills 🙁
I lost all interest in MOPAR after they were bailed out by the gubmint and then bought out by fiat, but this is really interesting. Who would have thought the company that brought this monster to the public is also responsible for this atrocity:

I bet Brad is at the dealership right now….
Just don’t let Kowalski from the movie Vanishing Point drive it. He’d probably still plow into that bulldozer and kill himself except it would be more spectacular now. That Dodge Demon has way too much damned power for most normal drivers, it should come with a certificate for a guaranteed Darwin award.
” (There are various methods for measuring zero to 60 acceleration that can yield different results.) ”
There shouldn’t be. That is about as cut and dried as you can get in metrology.
Only one seat?
I guess we’ll have to get two then.
i had a 93 Z28 bumped to 500 hp, my buddy was the Goodyear distributor and sold me Eagles for $100 a pop. I went thru tires every 3 weeks. What a blast I had with. that ride
