New Dodge Demon

[Cuda Cody]

Wish I was in a position to be on a dealers Demon list.      I really want one.   

its interesting that they have the balls to say below msrp. When we sell plenty of cars way below MRSP because of there broken sales programs.

I could rant plenty on the sales aspect of this about FCA and there sales programs, But in light of this we are expecting 2 to 4 based on what it states here.

Soooo. plus I believe we have a list of potential buyers already.

You seem to forget they are ALL made in Canada, so actually "300" are not leaving....

That cool info!  Really neat that they are giving dealers priority builds and lower serial numbers if they sell are or below MSRP.

@MoparDave  do you have any Demon's allocated to Roseville?

Maybe they ran out of red

I really wonder if one is going to show up at Carlisle...

[Burdar]

There will be one there.  It might not be a sold car though.  Dodge is usually there with a large display.  If Dodge brought a Demon to a show in Minnesota, they will surely be bringing one to Carlisle.

I know there will be one on display at the Mopar Mile High Nationals in July.  There was also a Hellcat before there were any sold, same with the Jeep Trackhawk last year.

I'm sure there will be.

2 years back the Hellcats weren't available yet to the public, but they had 2 of them there.   

[MoparDave]

mules will be most likely.

Apparently these are the terms a Demon buyer must agree to. No B5, Indigo Blue, Plum Crazy or F8 Green if you want your Demon now, otherwise you have to wait til 2018.

"The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon (the "Vehicle") is the automotive industries first and only purpose-built, street-legal production drag car."

The street legal verbiage is the angle...

A limited option for 1968 only, code L023, were the Hurst-reworked Hemi Darts, using the 426 Hemi engine. These special models were created strictly for drag racing, and included a non-warranty disclaimer. On February 20, 1968, corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan, sent out a press release to Dodge dealerships across the country. It was a promotional pitch purposed at selling drag ready, Hemi powered Darts.

However...

"The cars were designed to meet street legal requirements, but due to the modifications, the cars came with disclaimers that they were not for street use, but rather "supervised acceleration trials", or drag racing."

Does this make it sound like the Demon will be a one and done?  Or do they mean the first year is numbered and a "Single Model-Year"?

Dealers can start placing orders for the Demon on Wednesday, June 21. Production of the limited-edition, serialized, single model-year (3,000 United States/300 Canada) Challenger SRT Demon begins later this summer; deliveries to Dodge//SRT dealers to begin this fall.
