New Dodge Demon

there is a really cool plastic filler piece that goes in the rear seating area that has an outline of the car and a timing light.

Why do they have to do this too me. They tease me every week with a new video.

They are giving you time to arrange your finances....

Its all about performance in this one, and LOTS of clues.  3.0 sec 0-60, 10.5 1/4 mile, 757 HP/TQ at the wheels, and a quick cool down feature to help between runs!

757 at the rear wheels seems like it would be a bit quicker in the 1/4.  The 129 mph 10.5 1/4 times make me think it's 757 hp total.  Either way, this is a beast of a machine!

I would think the TQ would be higher too, but looking at the graph in the video the HP and TQ are right together.

They sure know how to hit me where I live huh!    Commercials/video's are very well done! Just need a lottery win....

Ok let's break this down.

The Hellcat has 707hp at the crank and now we have numbers on the Demon 757/hp to the rear wheels.

Knowing that power is usually chewed up 20-30% going through the transmission (gearbox and rear end) we have a HP number of -- between (20%) 908hp up to (30%) 984hp at the crank which is pretty darn respectable.

We also know that the Demon weighs 215lbs less than the Hellcat which weighs in at 4,439lbs so the Demon comes in at 4224lbs.

Plugging these numbers in:

We come very close 10.33@132mph.

A funny side note about the video.

When it hits 6th gear it says it's pulling all this power below 4k rpms which doesn't seem right.

[750-h2]

1/8 mile 6.6  at 125mph,  1/4 mile 10.5 at 129mph.  Doesn't add up?  I think they lifted before getting to the 1/4.  MPH would have climbed more than 4 mph in the last 1/8.

[Cuda Cody]

   Something doesn't make sense.  The 1/8 and 1/4 should be slightly further apart.  A normal calculator puts the quarter closer to 10.2 or 10.3 if they got a 6.6 in the 1/8.  Who do they have driving?  Looks like a lot of wheel spin in the 1/8 by those numbers.

Hot rod had a stock hellcat put down 620hp at the wheels, that's only a 13% power train loss, so if this one makes 757 at the wheels that would be 870hp, thoughts?

[Cuda Cody]

I still think it's going to be 757 total HP.

I think Moparman is just describing hp to the wheels (Demon) versus the advertised crank horsepower (Hellcat).

Yeah something is funny with the results they posted but the 7:57 clock is telling.

10.33 is smoking fast for a stock out of the showroom car (prep of course)
