New Dodge Demon

[ec_co]

I think this one will be a one and done limited to one year of production. hope I'm wrong because it means more for the market down the road, but I don't think so.

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.

My bet is one and done.  This would be nothing new and to be honest, I believe they will try to top this car as well.

There seems to be a growing interest in hitting the 1000hp mark.

My hope is that they move onto another platform. I'd like to see a lighter challenger (or cuda!!) platform. They have been using the platform for about a decade, it's time to switch to another. Which I hear might not happen until 2020 or so.

Funny how they had to language in there for Commifornia. Cannot say I'm not surprised and I cannot wait to leave this freakin state.

So what are the colors available now - red and black only?

If this is a one and done that would be sad. So much hype and so little delivery. Heh kinda sounds like Microsoft!!!

At the 2017 Carlisle show.

every dealer I've talked to so far has sold out their allocation. one yesterday had an allocation of 4, all gone. another dealer got zero (the regional FCA rep said no one in that region got one). one guy I talked to yesterday said they can't even find one for a couple of their high end buyers (sports team owner + one NFL player). anyone that got in is lucky, the list is long and many will be missing out.

@Cuda Cody, I figured there would be one at Carlsle.  I can't wait to see it.   

I just watched "The fate of the Furious", and Vin Diesel was driving one early in the movie. Good PR for the Demon.

with the anticipation of this car being produced and the demand. you will see many of these cars being a quick flip so the owner can make a quick 10 or 20K. I have heard this from a few people that have these on order.

Also I would not be surprised to see the charger demon released in the spring.

Mike Musto from The House of Muscle just posted this as "best day at work ever"

Looks like a combo of Demons and the 2018 hellcat widebody.  The widebody comes with fatter meats all the way around, supposed to run 10.9 (vs 11.2 with the 275s) and lapped Chrysler's road course 1.7 seconds faster than the standard hellcat

Well we are almost into 2018 production now so in 2 years it will the 50th anniversary for the Challenger , I wonder what they might plan for that year !!

Hmm. Over 800 horse. Now fender flares on all 4 corners for the meats. My vote is all wheel drive for traction.

Plain and simple for me is that Mopar should just make an exact as possible copy of the 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda with all of the modern technology in safety and performance "hidden". The Demon engine as top of the line power and call it the "Hell Cat-Fish"

While I do not disagree that something new would be nice, judging by how many 08-and-newer Challengers were at the Carlisle fairgrounds (I'd be willing to bet more than A, B, C, and E bodies COMBINED), it's going to be hard to convince FCA to "scrap it and start over."

Unfortunately, I think your right.
