2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Arrives with 840 Horsepower for the Track
Just read this article - very impressive - http://a.msn.com/08/en-us/BBzJWjX?ocid=se
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon gets a 0.3-liter larger supercharger, 2.9-psi higher maximum boost pressure, a 300-rpm higher redline (now 6,500 rpm), two dual-stage fuel pumps instead of one, and three sources of intake air (Air-Grabber hood, Air-Catcher headlamp, and an inlet near the wheel liner). Pair that brawny engine with the trans brake and SRT Torque Reserve system, which spins up the supercharger and increases engine air flow before launch, and you get what Dodge claims is the fastest 0-60 mph time of any production car at 2.1 seconds. That launch will produce the most acceleration g-force of any production car, enough to lift the front wheels into the air for a Guinness World Record 2.92 feet. Keep your foot down and the Demon will set the fastest production car quarter-mile time in 9.65 seconds and 140 mph, as certified by the National Hot Rod Association.
Time to do some more mods.....

Did you see how it gets that traction?

Dodge released an image of the Nitto NT05Rs deforming on a drag strip launch. See how the tall, soft sidewall lets the spinning tire "stack up" tread, lengthening the contact patch? (Here, we're looking at the driver's side rear tire; the car is driving to the left)

I'm typically not an American car fan...outside of my love for the new GT and Viper ACR.
This car however is so outlandish that you have to admire what dodge did here. Honestly, I'd love to have one just for the unique thrill of having 850Ish hp from a manufacturer ...with a warranty for 85kish. Just crazy IMO.

you have to admire it
the Dodge boys have always been good at building motors. California outlawed the 426 Hemi for years. Regardless of it's short comings I congratulate their lust for more horsepower.

Here's the official Dodge Demon Acknowledgement form that must be signed by the purchaser prior to taking delivery. This form basically absolves Dodge from any legal liability resulting from misuse and also caps the selling price; preventing dealers from habitually hiking selling prices on small numbered limited production vehicles.
Many years back, PAG went one step further and enforced a driver's safety course for all 911 turbo owners.
I guess too much power in the wrong hands can lead to legal issues.
