I love idea of "bringing back" some oldies but goodies.

BUT ... there's a risk.  They pulled it off with the Challenger.  Not so much the Camaro.

And ... IMHO ... this is horrible.  Only one pic ... but to me it looks like a pregnant Miata.

Word is it will have more horsepower then a hellcat?  Wow!

[Shoooter]

Looks nothing like a demon. Not a fan of that one at all. Same as the dart... barf....why is there no little smily guy puking??

[fc7cuda]

Hmmm, that much HP in a body appearing that small; I'd certainly enjoy a test drive!

I don't really care what it looks like...I just think it's cool that an automaker is making wicked high horse power muscle/sports cars for public consumption

[Cuda Cody]

What do you guys think this will do to the price of Hellcats?  And would you buy a Hellcat if the price was right?

Hey guys - don't get too worked up over that concept picture - once again a publication has used older/stock images to gain some clicks...

That gold'ish Demon concept is from 2007.  It's from an age when Chrysler was looking for something to compete with the Miata.  This is around the time that we got the Crossfire (and SRT6).  Not sure which came first.

I really hope that's not the new body style. Anthor swing and a miss. As for performance I'd rather have a slant 6 70 cuda or Challenger than a Miata that has 700+ horse power. I do love modern horse power, but come on.

I thought the new car was just an upgraded version of the Challenger Hellcat ? according to this: http://www.autoblog.com/2017/01/12/dodge-demon-challenger-srt-teaser/ 

[Cuda Cody]

That's what I thought too.  The next step in the Horsepower wars.  Basically a wide body Hellcat Challenger with more boost.   Prices on the Hellcats is about drop

Alan - this video is private. Guess it got yanked.

I sure hope that isn't a real representation of the new Demon. 

I'm betting it has to be something more substantial to handle even more power than the Hellcat. Imagine back in the day when the Sunbeam Tiger had the Ford 289 crammed into it, fun as hell in a straight line but the motor basically rocked the chassis to death.

is this possibly the new Challenger Demon?  factory widebody. crazy cool looking new hood. SRT badge

The lady was standing in front of the rear wheels the whole time.  That looks like a Demon to me.  I think this is going to be BIG!

The question is how far in the dust will the Hellcats be.

There will be some pissed folks but I'm glad I waited.
