I'm sure even without a price tag there is a backlog of buyers. Supply and demand. How long before the hellcat was sitting for sale at msrp? 2 years? No way they sell them for MSRP. |

There are oodles of 'regular' SRT cars and a handful of Hellcats running around my area, I'm hoping at least one Demon finds it way onto a road nearby.

Actually NHRA changed their rules a while back. Too many fast production cars. If your car is 2008 or newer, you can run 10 second 1/4 miles WITHOUT a cage. They had to. Any schmoe can go buy a new Z06 and run in the 10's. Seriously. Bone stock automatic Z06 on drag radials was running 10.70's on Saturday. The guy said it was almost boring. Of course the guy in the 9 second Cadillac had a cage. |

Well since they were posting times in the 9's and possibly 8's. Guess your rule change won't be a big help. Without a doubt cars are getting faster that the sanctioning bodies can keep up with. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My favorite fact. Also answers my question of "why the hell do the front tires need to be so wide, and as wide as the rears?"
Answer, per Motortrend, "The rear-wheel-drive car gets 315s at all four corners, so the fronts serve as spares." The fronts serve as spares. Smart, as they assume you are going to be going through rear tire pretty quickly

And you have a drag car that you can't run at the track because it doesn't have a cage... Cage ( at least a 10 point for sure) , parachute, window net, proper wheel studs, driveshaft loop/s, emergency kill switch on the back, sfi bell housing, sfi fly wheel, sfi scatter shield, pretty sure a shifter with mechanical lock out. engine diaper all come to mind. Im not sure if you need fire suppression but I think thats at 8.50 I don't remember what you need at 9.99 any more and the rule book is at the shop but the above list is probably pretty close. Our bad bitch is certified to 6.0 and the other two are just low 10 sec cars |

"the front passenger seat costs $1, the back seat costs $1 and the trunk trim costs $1. That Demon Crate with the skinny front wheels, the tools, the high performance PCM, the new switch panel and a few other odds and ends also costs $1, so if you check all of the boxes for those items, it adds $4 to the final price." |

saw the video from the track of it pulling the front wheels
but saw a couple stills from the reveal of it getting extremely light in the front end last night im sure they prepped for the demo and all that but still... that pretty flipping nuts out of a production car Im drawing a blank on the cage thing I know production cars cant have cages from the factory for two reasons but right now I cannot think of why I want to say one of those is insurance reasons but that might be off or a third reason lol I do know that if you can afford a Demon you can afford to pay a good shop to build a nice cage for the car that meets the nhra specs and is as unobtrusive as possible |
