Cannot be AWD, kinda defeats doing weight transfer for the 1/4 mile.

I think the 757hp at the wheel number is the correct stat.

I do not disagree at all, sounded weird and asked him 2x, he said the same thing.

that video shows a 9.54 quarter ..... impressive

That was not a Demon. It was a Drag Pak car with Demon stickers advertising the new Demon for Dodge.

LOCK AND LOAD!!  First production car with a trans brake! Wicked headlights, check out the ground clearance!  Again 757 and 815 hinted at again (HP and TQ? - two driving modes?).  Another math equation on the plate - 83 + 317 = 534.

Lock and Load!

The 815 give me a LOT of hope that the HP might not be the 757 number they have been pushing.  WOW!

The designers of the original Hellcat engine stated at the time that the factory bottom end was designed to withstand at least 1000HP in that platform. It looks like they are creeping towards that number. That's a stud for a factory car...

So what's up with the Red front headlights?   

[ec_co]

 

757 black key, 815 red key maybe?

The real question is:  how many weeks will it take that Demon to finish the Quarter Mile?    

Wonder if there is room in the "crate" for extra underwear?  Pretty sure some people will crap themselves in this car. 


03.23.2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon leverages a performance feature that is sure to make it one for the history books. Unlocked on March 23, the newest teaser, "Lock and Load," shares a feature that not only delivers the highest level of dedicated drag car technology offered in a production car but also, until now, could only be found in the aftermarket for "track use only" vehicles.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the first ever, factory production car with a TransBrake™. This exclusive performance feature enables the SRT Demon to produce launch forces previously unattainable by street legal production vehicles. Quicker power delivery and higher engine launch torque potential are achieved by locking the output shaft of the automatic transmission to keep the vehicle stationary until launch.
C
onventional vehicle launches consist of the driver using one foot on the brake and one on the accelerator pedal to increase engine speed while holding the vehicle stationary, known as foot-brake launch or two-footing. The SRT Demon's TransBrake feature provides improved reaction times and more consistent launches by utilizing the steering wheel paddle shifters as a launch trigger. Using the driver's finger exclusively to trigger launch of the SRT Demon results in a 30 percent reaction time advantage over foot-brake launches.
By locking the output shaft of the transmission, the Challenger SRT Demon's TransBrake works in conjunction with Torque Reserve to achieve:

Brake-free launches up to 2,350 RPM

105 percent increase in launch boost pressures

120 percent increase engine launch torque

To make sure the SRT Demon can take full advantage of maximum torque at launch, the TransBrake feature also includes a driveline preload process. Preloading ensures engine torque is applied through the entire driveline all the way to the rear wheels. The result is full engine torque delivery where the tires touch the ground 150 milliseconds after the paddle shifter is released. Preloading the driveline also provides reduced component spike loads and thus less potential of component damage. The overall result is faster acceleration at launch, better 60-foot times and improved quarter-mile times.

The TransBrake feature also compliments the SRT Demon's new lightweight brake package, designed to enable the use of narrow front-runner wheels at the drag strip. With TransBrake holding the SRT Demon steady, more torque is available via higher engine rpm without fear of overwhelming the reduced grip of braked front runners. This gives the SRT Demon up to 40 percent more available launch torque compared to vehicles with front runners using a foot-brake launch.

Got to LOVE this car!
