Well, the Demon is out and available to order now. Amazing car and owner's package. Was glad to hear they'll be limiting production to 2018 only and 3,300 cars total. Had hoped they were gonna limit the HC production. Oh well.
840 hp, 770 torque, 9.6 sec 1/4 mile in the 140's mph.
Banned by NHRA from competition unless cage installed.
The intake intercoolers are cooled with the car's A/C system.
Shipped from factory with trans brake system and 315/40/18 drag radials.
As offered, no radio, no passenger front or rear seats, bare trunk. All can be added for $4.00. Odd I know, but interesting nonetheless.
Owner gets a trunk shipped out to them with a Track Pack: Front skinny wheels and tires, drag computer, Air Grabber intake kit, 4-point safety harness, electric impact gun, aluminum floor jack, stands, ground mat, fender covers, all kinds of cool stuff for your track pit. The trunk gets its own VIN tag and owner's name engraved to match the car.
Someone on Hellcat.org claims to have placed their order with an unspecified build or delivery date. $86,400 plus taxes.
Dodge says they want to combat the dealerships buying and marking them up so none will be sent without a buyers order. Dealerships will be told who gets to sell Demons and how many specifically they will get. Dunno if this will keep dealerships from taking money under the table to put buyers ahead of other buyers..... ?
Will be interesting to see if these will ever be re-sold at more than what they paid, at auction or otherwise. Hard to imagine one of these in 20 years being worth Hemi Cuda money.
