The investor crowd loves them because that was the magic that made the 8 second pass possible.
As their CF car also has a moon roof and leather and HK stereo etc. :rolleyes:
I will bet anyone a Ben Franklin that the 8.99s or better will be had in stock trim SANS CF wheels soon (next 12 months)

Just watched some youtube videos, the Demon170 is speed limited to 149, in drag mode a little more. SRT states do not race in 1 mile events, hmmm

It seems like a good aftermarket set of wheels produces the desired weight of the CF wheels and doesn't cost 50k (or whatever Mopar charges for them).

I believe the car is limited to 149 in street mode
In drag mode that is not the case
The wheel / tire setup on this car is definitely not a 1 mile top speed setup

My take is the main issue you will see after 150 mph will be fuel shortage
I m fairly sure these cars fuel pumps will be insufficient using corn fuel much past 150 mph

I assume guys running these cars at the track will be watching for this

1971demon hasn't seen his yet.
Shit he is very close to Canadian
He drinks bagged milk

Actually we all know why he is waiting hahaha

Maybe a couple dozen sugar glazed donuts to Tim K may have sped up the process

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Accordingly to the emails from SRT, that is not true. The car will allow it to monetarily exceed 149 but that is it. Please see the following youtube videos regarding this. Dodge has removed all reference to the car having a top speed of 215 mph. SRT has stated in the emails that the Redeye is faster, the 170 is quicker in the 1/4.

Dodge Demon 170 THEY LIED to US (youtube.com)


Did Dodge Lie To Demon Purchasers? 😱 Speed Limited To 149MPH! (youtube.com)


OC Motivator also did a video and provided the emails from SRT but I cannot find the video

I've seen screen shots of the factory tune and the speed limiter is set to 149. Once I get a new MPVI3 I'll pull the tune from my car to confirm but I assume this is accurate info.

So it went from being advertised at 215 to149 mph and was only stated after being pushed by racers asking about the Texas Mile. The 2018 Demon has a speed limit of 168 (based on the tires), however, the race pcm that was included in the crate did not have a speed restriction.

And the dumpster fire continues

Dodge does weird stuff

It wouldn't surprise me if in Drag mode the limiter is disabled but who knows.
