Congrats. I've always believed that every car collection needs at least one gnarly American V8 muscle car in it. Murder it out and forgo the passenger seat option for that extra level of bad-assery.

So the OP gets a different flavor of car as an additional toy, and he's raked over the coals by some? Reading into his post like he's a flipper and buying the car for different reasons than he most likely is.

Nothing wrong with American muscle. Just another type of car and different purpose than a GT3. Life has many things to enjoy and doesn't revolve around Porsche or even cars ..

^exactly! Honestly though.. how can you grow up in North America, let alone be a "car guy" and not appreciate some V8 muscle!

I don't understand how anyone who claims to be a car guy/gal can think this is a bad idea; come on, 840hp! limited run, insanely fast, what's not to like? My brother has a Hellcat and its a freaking riot to drive... too much power at only 707hp. But its a blast to hear that supercharger whine when giving it the beans. Oddly, he was called by local dealer for a Demon as well, but they wanted a rather significant ADM which is specifically against Dodge's guidelines. He told them to take a hike, only MSRP. Enjoy, post pics when arrives.

So at 808 horsepower on gas you can buy at a gas station and 4250lbs, it has a worse power to weight ratio than a Viper at 645/3297 w/ SRT package. The Viper looks awesome, can go fast turning in addition to a straight line, and hasn't had smaller brakes and no passenger seat intentionally fit to lose weight.

So they just came out with a car not nearly as good as the one they just quit making. Whoop dee doo.

The good news is we don't live in a communist country and can buy whatever car our hard earned dollars want

Nobody is saying it's a replacement for a 911. Just a different kind of car experience as they all are.

Very true, I just meant to point out why it doesn't excite me personally. Different cars for different folks, some people get excited about a Prius.
