Well... it CAN do it. Under optimal optimal conditions. In real life, these times are basically unachievable
The Demon has to have a min. 100 octane fuel and ECU tune and a prepped surface to hit anything close to what dodge brags about.. I'd rather go with the Cobra Jet any day.. right off show room floor to strip.. BOOM bye bye Demon or any other Fiat... I mean dodge...
So basically the only way this 1/4 mile time is achieved is with above average track conditions, doubtful anyone will actually see these figures,
Jace Lysinger exactly
Watch it happen...and watch that 9.65 get eclipsed...
Did you catch the part where he said the car was 10 feet in the air on the back wheels LMFAO
billy heaton 6 inches off the ground for ten feet of travel... still seems unlikely
issa joke
Here's what you need to run that number:
A factory team to keep the car perfect.
A professional Top Fuel driver with hundreds of runs in the car.
Low altitude and cool air.
A track that's been prepped specifically for the car.
That being said, even if the "real" number for the Demon is mid-10's, it's still damned good for a production car.
It's a nice number alright. Unfortunately, it's a whole second lower than what most will ever see.
What's really interesting about the Demon run, is that the altitude density, got so low, it's a number few tracks will ever see, even over more than a decade. i can't remember the density altitude, but it was extreme.
ABOlsen69X That why it's a record.
Leah Prichett weighs 118 pounds.The seats were out of the car and it was not done on Nittos that the car comes with.No one has ran in the 9.6s .And thousands of runs have been done in the past two years.Usually someone always manages to beat the original factory time.Not this time.No one running 140 mph trap speed in a stock Demon either.Top fuel driver has nothing to do with it.Its an automatic car,it either hooks up or it doesnt then you keep it floored and hang on.Again the driver they used weighs 118 pounds.No back seat ,no passenger seat,aftermarket drag radials not the Nittos.
Most production cars are not traction limited like the Demon. Just because it uses a prepped surface doesn't mean other vehicles would come close to its 9 second run on the same track. But complain away...
You guys in the comments act like Dodge is the only one making sure the track is prepped good for their testing... People who bought Demons will have a chance to run a tip top prepped track. At every track, every weekend? No. But to say nobody is gonna hit the times is silly. You're gonna see better times, it always happens.
They spent DAYS prepping the track from end to end with 2x more compound than a top fuel dragster. They also went through multiple sets of new slicks. Whos gonna do that? They will spend that same money on the car to make it even faster but NOBODY will come close to this time in a stock Demon. There simply isnt enough grip!
Multiple sets of slicks? Really?
Mike Barrett let me say it 1 last time as stated in the video. They spent DAYS making HUNDREDS of passes to set this record time on a track with extremely excessive prepping.
1 last time? You're acting like we've had some long debate. You said multiple sets of slicks. They ran the car with drag radials..... Capitalizing words doesnt make them any more effective. Relax. Comparing the prep for top fuel cars and something running radials is asinine. They're running completely different tires, and are a completely different chassis technology. My original comment holds true, all manufactures prep tracks this way for flagship cars. Get your head out of your ass.
I mean, how much drag racing do you do at big tracks/events? Do you think they dont get prepped in the same manor for big radial events?
So is it safe to say that the average person without this exorbitant preparation will be lucky to do a 10.50
That's the thing. I talked to a guy who's been down the track in the Demon a fair amount now. He's actually a very skilled amateur and he know what he's doing. He runs a pretty "mild" street/strip 68 Camaro with 700 hp in the mid to low 9's. His best time in a Demon is 10.40 which I witnessed. He ran a 60 foot time in about 1.46. That's a properly fast 60 foot for that car.
I don't care how much weight they've taken out, it's still a huge heavy barge.
Thank you that's great proof
This dude really knows his rubber
This is always a joke to me . The car runs only if......... Then you hear "Its a street car man that runs this fast" Then when you say "Look , Ford built the CJ cars for doing this the right way and they hook. Then you hear , "But this is a production street car man!!!"
Well in the street you can take a Dodge guys money pretty easy because that IRS car on a no prep real world surface , you know IN THE STREET !!! IS going to wheel hop , break parts , not hook...... The guy says it right there , the dodge needs a level of prep above top fuel cars... All that tells you is how bad the suspension works.....
NO Prep for this kind of thing , REAL WORLD for this kind of thing. All makes and models...
Of course if you fly paper the thing its going to run the numbers. That isnt what a race car is about. A race car is about many systems all working together to create an ET. Suspension being a major factor... Dodge said To hell with that , just bond it to the track and we will skip over that part....
After taking all our tax dollars I would expect better....
The fact of the matter is that 9 second ET's are already happening with the Demon and has even happened without drag radials. The Demon is still too young yet, give it time and you'll see even better times.
Track quality depends on the track team. If they're great. you will know it with the first pass. Watch the Japanese cars. If they're breaking drivetrains, Your track surface is right.
Our first run pure stock 808 hp, foot brake was a 10.5 129 on a greasy track. The 9's are calling. You dont just get in a car this fast & slap your foot to the floor.
10.2 foot brake stock nittos, 1.4 60 foot, 132 mph, we are getting there
Muscle Car Jr. Inc 9s are approaching
Dodge is claiming this to be the fastest 1/4 mile production car in the world, It even says it on its website, But its not, Nobody has even put down a 9s time as far as im aware in a stock demon, STock as in stock tyres too, They are being rediculous with this car. And 129mph with 840bhp? Thats what a damn good run in a 2006 C6 ZO6 will do...
You should because it is automatic and it hooks.No excuse.It is just not a 9.65 car.Period.
@Muscle Car Jr. Inc where's your sub 10 second time slip for the demon in stock trim?? Don't just sit down and run 9's?? Been almost a year now, where's it at?
Dodge sits on a throne of lies
As sticky as you absolutely can't walk on it (900 to 1000). In what realm is that realistic?
Would like to take my 2017 super snake down that track! Has the 825 hp Whipple on it 😀
Still haven’t seen a demon run 9s ever on a track.
So we will never see better than a 10sec pass on a normal track. Hard to call it a 9sec car when you have to do that much track prep. Very deceiving.
True but you also have to consider all that track prep is for the best time on the stock tires. Very few people actually racing their cars will be using the stock tires.
awdeveau how can you call drag radials stock?
Rat Rod Studios - DRR Customs Ltd I'd be willing to bet the cars in this video weren't running 10 second passes on a "perfectly" prepped track. Kind of funny the camera never caught the scoreboard. Just sayin!
This is so deceiving... They prep so much to get a number. Never liked Dodge band never well...
You would be able to get in the 9's with this car. You would have to get the full package deal for the car and I know, the person who set the time was a professional driver but, a regular person could still rip off a 9.90 or a 10 flat.
What a he'll!...man that's why is the word fastest production car...#king of all American muscle cars!!.
Eugenexs Paull nothing against the demon but it is the quickest not the fastest. The Bugatti Chiron is at 290
Funny Bugatti hasn't said 290 because they haven't done it. No tire manufacture will certify a tire for them with that heavy of a car over 265.
ding ding your correct.
Actually the FASTEST production car is still the Veyron SuperSport @ 267mph. The Chiron hasnt ran over 261mph yet. Also there is another production car faster than that @ 270mph the Koenigsegg One:1. The Demon is the QUICKEST with its FAKE numbers that NOBODY has ever ran except 1 time.
i agree,no one is going to come close to this 9.65.
The reason this is done is to test that "if" a car was to hook up to the absolute max, they can see what parts are stressed or that break. They are trying to create the most crazy possibility that if customers where to completely hook up pass after pass, how does the system hold up. Pretty cool stuff they allowed us to see this and post this for all of us.
Devo Dar the reason this is done is to set a fake record to sell more cars. What Demon driver is going to spend days preping a track? NONE because its not worth the money.
Great vid
Now THAT is what I call a true badass muscle car.
Dodge should have dumped 1,000hp in the demon, then it would run 9's all the time no matter the track conditions....haha
Damn my Honda would have a chance on this track
Interesting. Had no idea there was that much into it.
The 427 SOHC Galaxie from the 60s that made close to 700 horses would be almost as fast, it's road legal and did 1/4 mile in just under 10 seconds. That just proves 50 year old basic engines with no electronics can keep up with 2017 advanced engine with fuel injection and all that.
An engine designed for Nascar and never installed in a factory car by Ford. It wasn't very basic either compared to the 427 fe it was based on. Ford did make lightweight galaxies with partial fiberglass bodies. At 425lbs lighter and with the 425hp+ 427fe they could only muster low 12s. I would like to see proof of a 427 cammer galaxie running 9s "stock" if there is such a thing. Now if you take the sub 3500lb lightweight galaxie add the possibly uderrated 650hp Sohc that would get you some mid to low 10s. That was never a stock production car. I wouldn't even consider the lightweight galaxies production cars only 200 were made.
Please have Charlotte do a countdown in a cute short skirt for a drag race just like the movies!
I smoke a Demon from the light in a Civic SI. You cannot win if your sitting and spinning. Worthless car in the real world.
That's bullshit and you know it
Deluded ass bitch
What do they do with all those cars once they're done running them. Those can't be part of the 3,300 production.
Dodge says these cars will get crushed :-(
TFLnow Dodge can give me one 😁
Me too.....
most races that are now a days same type of track prep for faster cars, this is a track not a street, easy fix, dont race on street like your a TV star
Ooooooo look at that nice interior on that demon, oooooo, o wait.
Just put slicks on and you will run 9s all day.
Slicks are illegal tires so it doesn’t count because it has to be fully stock to be a record
So you need your own racing team to break 9s...
Solarflare15 dont forget the glue for the tires! 😂
th-cam.com/video/npXbRXfzK5A/w-d-xo.html
lol yeah... normally how it works.....
M773 not stock tire
This explains why these cars are so slow on the street.
Your description is wrong
Last true muscle car, Keep it up Dodge. No replacement for displacement
that thing displaces less than a SRT8 392 hemi
Yea, but atleast its above 6 liters and not a 1.6l 4 banger
LOl GTFO No replacement for displacement
dwight122324 you do know the engine is smaller the the hell cat tard
Yes there is.... Boost
All these Prius owners and Pro Fuel Efficiency car owners must hate Dodge and their cars for releasing them and consumers can actually buy them.
I think fuel efficient people are just laugh their butts off at this point
still gotta pay the gas guzzler tax
David Nacson "consumers can actually buy them" unless your the top car enthusiast
Jace Lysinger why can't they buy them?
David Nacson go into any dodge dealer and ask, they will immediately laugh at you. Just like any limited production vehicle all models have basically been sold before the official launch party. There all snatched up by wealthy individuals with ties into dodge/close relations.
Jace Lysinger It doesn't matter. For a brand to sell a car that can do a wheelie on public streets is insane.
man that is one badass muscle car could totally smoke a Nissan GTR
LEGO MAN 213 BRICK DUDE and everything else on the drag strip. Yes, even that battery powered dildo known as a 'tesla'
Kristopher Klassen he'll yeah the Demon is what true muscle is all about
Gtr is not a drag only car dumb ass
Yeah your right, the GTR is also a sissy slow ricer too.
chevydiesel350015 oh yeah that is why I love true American muscle like the Demon and Hellcat
I'm not hating, I just feel $95,000 for a car that goes 9.650 @ 140.09 down the Quarter. My $12,000 Corvette is actually very close to this and I'm only pushing 612HP before I added a High rise intake manifold, Meth injection, bigger fuel rails and a smaller pulley on the Supercharger, once Dyno tuned it's expected to be around 700HP so with that, the weight of my car without me in it and small tire slicks, I should either be close or beat the new Demon, again, not hating as I love this car. I see for $95K a car that I could only drag race at a strip but not in most good Competitions as it'' be banned from it for one reason or another and I heard the handling on turns isn't good nor recommended. My Corvette is a 1998 and it was designed for course racing so basically the Demon is only to say you have one. Unless I'm missing something? What does everybody else think or know that I don't?
I'm ignoring dumb replies that are trash talking me as I'm here to learn something new and not from Kindergarten so if you are on that level and can't spell or create sentences properly then please reply to someone else's comment with your childish crap that nobody seems to care about. All others please comment!
Anthony Davis a big ass heavy car that runs 9's, not a modified light ass corvette for less
Shawn Moses right. Thanks for proving my point, heavy ass* car for $95k or a light ass* $12k corvette.. smh
Anthony Davis lmfao. Hey, was saying they put work in to get a heavy car that fast!!!! I like how you used my response
Shawn Moses lmao I knew what you meant but I saw an opportunity to turn that around and I'm too immature not to do it 😂
I owned a 99 FRC Corvette, 88 rx7 se LS1 swap and know LS1's pretty damn good. Mechanic since 06, cammed a handful of LS cars for other people. Yes you can get c5s for dirt cheap. It takes a lot to do 9.65. A friend had a d1sc supercharged 01 z06 (built motor, boltons, e85, bigger intercooler etc) 810rwhp and couldn't crack 9s, but his mph was 142...so he very well could if he dialed the setup in.
The mods you listed are stupid IMO. Why on Earth would you do a high rise? You need a hood if you do...plus it's not worth it unless you're going for 1k+.... If I were you, I'd do e85 , injectors , smaller pulley, fuel pump/s, front mount intercooler, probably a boost a pump. The stock fuel rails can do mid 800hp with e85. You can use ls3 rails too. LS bottom ends are good to around 700hp stock. Big tire is going to help a ton...I had Nitto NT01R drag radial 315s on knock off c4 zr-1 wheels and they performed like the Mickey drag radials.
So yeah not hating, hope you learn from my experience in and around LS cars and Corvettes. LS1tech and Corvetteforum are great sites to be on, and learn from other people's setups or things they've done/tried. After owning my car I could never own a regular coupe. They just feel like 2 different cars, even with the magnetic ride set to performance in the coupe. The 10% stiffer body and z51 suspension is night and day in the FRC, and even better with the z06. Oh and mine weighed in at 3040 with a 1/4 tank.
So basically no one will ever achieve 9.65 unless the track is prepared just for you. After all those runs, and they never show the time.
double lynx But they show the time cards .. if you've ever run yourself you'll have some too .. every run is different, and of course you're always trying to fine tune things to go faster .. exactly what they're showing here, quite openly .. they also show the world record notification from the Guinness Book Of Records .. but they've achieved much longer wheelies without the record setting requirements in place, so chances are they've run faster than 9.65 .. I imagine sub 9.5 .. I've been present at a Guinness World Record setting event myself .. there are a lot of requirements .. and in that case there was actually a representative from The Guinness Book Of Records present .. I think this is an awesome video .. and I've been the proud owner of two Mopars .. I'd love to own a Demon .. to finish on a cheerful note, what's the fastest 1/4 ever? Look it up for yourself but I will say it was set back in the 1970s .. by a girl called Kitty .. sub 3.5 at over 600 km/h exit speed .. WOW !!! ✌
Why not youtube 9 second demon? theres tons of videos..
I haven't seen a car spin enough where your finding 4-6tenths from what most are running. They're over playing the shit out of the track prep. Maybe they can bs people who don't race or never walked on a track before, but that's about it. Yes there's bad tracks everywhere but come on. Most tracks are good where your shoe will stick. Like someone else said maybe 1 of 5 guys for Dodge that's about it. Last the wheel lift. From 6in to 10ft come on. I believe the car tested ran the times. I don't believe that's the car people are getting. It has more power or it's lighter. Something is different. I've seen modified demons already with the crate of course, after market exhaust, injectors, on E85 better tuning software and tires only run 9.90's. The car hooked and went 1.40's 60ft 139-140mph. The rest I seen that are stock only run anywhere from 10.0-10.40's. I like the car. I'm not hating on it. I'm hating how dodge went about this. If people buy the car and it hooks after a little seat time there's no reason they shouldn't be running 9.80's unless they are a really heavy person. I know some are thinking it's only a few tenths. Well as anyone who runs 10s or faster and the faster you go the harder it gets 1 tenth is very hard to come by. Oh well that's my rant
Hellcat or Demon + all wheel drive = damn near unbeatable. Make a version Dodge!!! Jaguar did it with the F Type SVR and worked wonders. Just sayin.
that thing is coming iss called the Jeep grand Cherokee trackhawk ;)
So you want to add another 300 to 400 pounds to a 4,000+ pounds car
billy heaton worked for the GTR. It's weight is far more than competitors, and yet it performs. Just an idea
Christian all the more reason why it can be applied to a coupe or sedan
Its' a bad idea, not every car needs AWD just learn how to drive an RWD car
lol all the butthurt mustang and camaro fanboys
Michael Kuzma dutton mustang and camaro focus more on track than drag race. a ZL1 could keep up with a 707hp hellcat and the Zl1 is a track car.
GM and Ford cant keep up with Tradition..... Mustang and Camaro lost its Heritage on the drag strip..... GT500 and ZL1 were not Road Course Focused in the past. Dodge is the only Brand that stayed true to its roots.
Albert S. actually the camaro starts at 59k for the base I went ahead and spec'd mine out and it came out to 61k just a little tip
Actually the comments are all butt hurt Tesla fankids that are upset the only thing the Tesla was good at has now been toped in a heavy RWD petrol car lmao.
Michael Kuzma dutton hahahah
Does anyone know if the Demon ever hit a 9 second quarter mile in a customer's hands? I love the Demon, it's an awesome machine focused on drag racing, but it sucks to see it getting beat by all these exotics that weren't built for the drag strip, plus they don't need special tires, 100 octane fuel, warming up tires before each run, taking out all the seats, etc. etc.
The secret is no one can do it😯
Damn I need that kind of prep at my local track. Generally they only prep for slicks and I have to pull timing with radials at the hit
Are you pulling timing because you can't hook or do you pull timing because it detonates?
Thanks for featuring Mass Traction - I love what I do! --Brandon Mass
Cool video TFL
So they did 1,000's of passes with multiple cars with a professional track prep crew, crew of mechanics, weatherman, personal drag strip to get ONE ☝️ ONE CAR THAT GOT LUCKY
ya know, the stickyer the track is ,the more the tire sticks. so to unstick the tire you use more horse power. meaning the engine is working that much harder to UNstick the tire just a thought
It's not quite that simple. Both the Demon and Hellcat has issues with grip on the track, so this level of "stickiness" equals what other cars with better grip experience on less sticky tracks.
The Demon is an overpowered BOAT. It isn't quick, it isnt fast, it can't turn, and it cant stop.
This dude is full of himself, i know 5 guys personally who can prep the shit out of a track for drag radial. This comes from someone who has been to all the big races in the DR radial world.
He might be talking about that there's only five people who prep for dodge
John Phelan who cares
John Phelan jealous maybe 🤔🤔😂
I bet if he can suck his own pickle, he would
Don't forget he's so good it will do 10ft wheelie in optimal conditions. Lmao
I wanna know what sort of times a Z06/ZL1/GT500 will get with this sort of prep work for the strip, there is precisely no mainstream publication that will do this much prep work for their testing..
Seeing that a Z06 has a power to weight ratio that is pretty close to that of the Demon, there's a reason why they easily run in the mid to low 10's stock. A Z06 could probably run a 9.8X in the best of conditions as the weight bias is far better for holeshot and the aero will matter in the last 500 feet.
i wonder what another car aka mustang camaro vette or gtr factory stock with same slicks will do
Lol none of those cars will touch a 9sec pass on just a tire
Being lighter weight would help them, but they are all way down on horsepower compared to the Demon so they wouldn't come close to matching it.
He never said they would beat it or come close. He just said he wonders what they would run on the same slicks. Calm down guys. The Demon cant even come close to the Demons record run without an excessively prepped track.
Tonio Xenon the guy from dodge even said it will take a lot of practice. When the hellcat came out they said it will do a 10.8 on dr stock and no one got that till almost a year later.
Justin Howell yea u make a good point. I guess we will see when the Demon is released.
Build a drag car the right way, why buy a factory ready drag car? Learn the game, buy a proper transmission and rear end. This is weak!
There's no secret to its numbers. And it's numbers "do not app,y to production car records. Because it's not a regular production car, it's extreme limited production. Using race gas octanes from 102-110, on a very highly prepped track (rented by MoPar), on a series of very cold (33-37* F), nights in way back in November 2016, in a totally stripped interior, just one seat, and two warning chimes, with drag pack kit on dropping 240 lbs, hmmm, there's o secret to that. Or that the "special NITTO rear drag tires", are actually NITTO slicks that had a little tread cut into them. I've been to the testing (late 2016), before sales launch in May 2017... With all the above information, one can not call it the quickest and fastest production car. Infact, the MoPar Engineers invited us (myself and a friend), that works high up the corporate chain at FCA, back to the track the next day to see some real world, street trim, full interior, 4 factory Oem tires, on factory ECU on 93 octane (808hp), in temps around 59 degrees, DA still over -1300 below sealevel (every 1000 ft below sealevel equals about 30 free hp, low DA adds free hp), these same (3 car's), Demons could not run quicker in the 0-60 mph: 4.4 sec and 1/4: 10.7 sec and no faster than 130mph.. the average of 10 runs was 10.96 sec at 129.1 mph. So on the street, a lot of cars would beat the tar out of the Demon. Especially in 0-60 or 0-80 mph contests. The Hellcats run about 4.5 to 4.6 sec 0-60 on the street. I know this because my neighbor, "a professed magazine racer", because he thinks the car's we buy are as quick as the ones the magazines Test and I told him excellent street drivers can't get to within a 1/4 of a sec and a few mph of the best expert professional drivers, he said he could, in his new Hellcat. So he bet me $500 he could take any other high hp domestic iron. I told him I'd go rent a mustang gt and beat him in the 0-60 and possibly the 0-80. He LOL'd for 15 minutes. Till I came back with a gt convertible. Guess what, he was not LoL, when I beat him 5 for 5 in 0-60, and barely 3 of 5 runs in the 0-80. He barely edged me out by about two feet in last two runs.
TO MUCH PREP TO GO FAST
Now if we can just match it up with a Tesla p100DL Luda mode that would complete the test 😎
Did he say he’s seen the car lift 10ft 🤣🤦🏻♂️
back tires too the car actually lifted 10 feet off the ground whole
A caravan can probably do a wheelie with all that prep
Don garlits said it needs a taller tire
What a load of shit
It don't matter how good you prep the track on other tracks the car is still 10 mph down on the claimed 141 mph.
Soooo nobody has run the infamous "9.6 anything " that owns this car? But there are several vids of other stock production cars running sub 9 second passes on crap tracks without all the voodoo juice . Cmon Dodge ! Lol (BTW I own 2 Dodges so no hate here)...
Cars are in the 9s stock, youtube it, its out there. two, you can pull all the interiors out after you buy it if you want to beat factory time, its for a stock car, so there still cheap mods out there that will decrease time. pull all the safety crap out, etc..
Nope you’re wrong
So this is why every commentator has to make excuses for the Demon's time. I can run a 10 second 100 meter when the wind conditions are right. Just give us numbers that can be reproduced on normal track conditions.
Demon seems like the most impractical car
I drove a 2200cc Dual carb, alcohol burning VW beetle in Paraguay. It could do wheelies.
So not only do you need racefuel to hit those numbers on a stock Demon. You have to hire Mass Traction to prep the lane for you....
Yup, and have a density altitude that puts the track in Atlantis...
0:10 that guys name is Roman too!
no roll cage. less wide than other cars. designed to go in straight line. special racing fuel. 5th gear ends right at end of 1/4 mile. massive track prep including rubber and glue. big turbo. special launch mode.
Big turbo🤣🤣
2:21 -10 ft high wheelies in optimal conditions? C'mon dude, you just lost me there. No way does this car get that high, even get close to putting it on the bumper. Sounds very knowledgeable about prep though. Some good info here - except how high the car can wheelie hah
He's talking about one carrying the wheelie for 10ft not getting it 10ft high.
I wish people would listen when other people talk instead of listening to all the voices in their heads… same type of people that watch CNN news… That should piss some people off!👍🏻
Never launches faster than the AWD Chiron in real life
I would have headphones on 4:22 😅🤣
840hp only runs 10s, that’s sad
120 pound driver ,different drag radials the the ones you get with the car ,in reality you ll be lucky to see in the 9.9s with 100 octane tune.I dont see anyone going 9.65 with a stock Demon.And it was a base car no seats and no sunroof.
Little ass donut tires lol
whats the point to emphasize on the car's performance in those super optimal conditions when it's pretty clear that you will never have them. Isn't it a better commercial for them to just test the car at a regular track condition and show good performance there, where it matters, instead on some fictional track condition that you will never have. this just creates controversy
Imagine taking your brand new 9.65 1/4 mile car to any random track and doing mid 10s.... on race gas DR and no seats... they should have just said the car did low 10s and call it a day, no need for that extra nonsense... still a dope car no need for dodge to overhype it..
And it’s an automatic with DCT not much driver error there..
Not holding record anymore go check out the Exorcist Camaro put down a 9.57 lap at 147mph 0-60 2.3 sec
Firstly. That's not a factory production car.
Secondly. You'd have to buy it from that fraudulent piece of human garbage that is John Hennessey.
Chances are he'd deliver your motor with the stock pistons and rods he took out of his Yukon along with some properly used spark plugs and oil...
Not the first production vehicle to have wheel lift
So it pulls 9s on a perfectly manicured track at a perfect temperature in perfect conditions. So chances of doing them numbers are slim to none. Yeah, sounds more like a waste of money. They talked and advertised it as if would do that all day long on any track.
lots of people get 9s with demons on less manicured track, just youtube it
I've only seen one Demon at a track go below 10. Here's what's really interesting. I had a tape measure in my pocket, and politely asked if I could measure the top pulley of the engine which looked very small - not to mention color anodized in a non-factory color, as the owner was showing off the engine and claiming completely stock setup. While everybody standing around the car had their hands all over it which the owner did not mind, he got really flustered about that question and promptly shut the hood. Now, how many of those Demons running the tracks do you think have been tinkered with, one way or the other? Look it up. Many already mod them. My guess is that it has to do with the fact that they don't like the idea of taking them to the track, and run high 10's. I spoke to another owner, who is actually a talented and seasoned drag racer, and he told me it was very hard to get it into the 10.4's. This is a guy who can run a 700hp street/strip 68 Camaro in the mid to low 9's, so he's good at what he does.
Cool story bro, youre full of shit though

That's okay. I'm not here to convince you. I prefer first hand experience rather than youtube. But whatever floats your boat.
@@Dexter_Solid nah you’re just the dumbass if you look at the stats of the demon anyone that has a brain knows that it’s physically impossible to hit 9.65 secs in this car
No big deal.
Bill Pulman ran 9.54 ecoboost mustang...yup 2.3 litre 4 cyl lol
If they would just do a damn pulley upgrade then sell the car
Bottom line is the average dude will never go that fast...... more of a marketing gimmick then anything.
I'll tend to agree that this is a bit of a shafting, as it is very much been marketed as something everyone can do.
That being said, it is still reminiscent of the Nordschleife times set by manufactures. Yes, you can purchase a Performante or Z06, and it is indeed a very capable car. But few people in the world can run the same time. The main difference is that the manufactures who go run the ring, don't try to tell the general public that the average enthusiast can run his or her car that fast.
I'm a Mopar guy, but I'm hugely disappointed in Dodge over the whole Demon marketing BS.
Its a great novelty car but its a low 10 second car for 99% of the Demon buyers which is still kool but not what was advertised.
The real bottom line is that the Demon is running in the 9,s quite often and has done it many times without drag radials, on stock tires. Not a gimmick, but fact.
@@UtahBigfoothunter no it hasn’t lmfao it’s been proved in articles it’s fake
My video is on you tube under 9 second red eye @napierville dragway.
Grounds keeper Willey
10ft in optimal condition lmfao
After hearing this a about "track prep". I'll just stick with a Mustang...
Why does it sound exactly like an Audi RS7? Haha.
10foot wheelie man please
It’s useless for racing if they can’t make the car go then need to make it all wheel drive! It’s good for burnout contest but not much else!
I call bulshit on that Dodge propaganda
Kind of disappointing that it takes this much work to hit the numbers dodge claims. I think it's disingenuous because no normal person is going to hit those times.
Seashells. What a load of crap. We don't use "seashells" in our concrete.
I know, dodge subtracted a second off their real time
way too much work to get that fast time.
I wonder how much work on a road does Tesla needs to get their 0-60 time :P
I wonder how much work they put into that sick exhaust note.... oh wait
dwight122324 none, but that 5k sedan still runs 10.4's without the front truck
5000 pounds dummy
why call him a Dummy when the orignal Post didnt even mention "pounds" ??
Most Demon owners will NOT run those steeet legal drag wheels so these numbers are definitely something that can ve done......
Whats the
Point .....
Dodge is just trying to cover their ass for lying about what the car runs.

@@michaelmarks5012 that wasn’t stock at all
lies....this is a low mid 10 second car....hellcat is....low mid 11s
a lot of cheating done here! Not really necessary, it is a very fast car even with a non worked track.
All the secrets are not really secrets, right? I clicked anyway...if this is clickbait I'm unsub'ing.
GTFO then.......
