Nice badge of honor...
midway: I had a friend who drives a modified BMW M3 tell me his car was quicker 0-60 than any of my motorcycles. I not only showed him he was full of sheet, I did it with my Sportster (faster in a straight line than either of my Buells). He has new respect for 2 wheeled vehicles especially the EVO motor. He laughed when I offered to race him on my sporty.

Yep, we Bueller's can get this thrill anytime. The wife has always liked the bright red Challenger. You don't trade a Volvo for a Dodge woman, I don't get excited about remakes of any original muscle car... until now. Might show her I'm suddenly interested in silly red challenger... without mentioning this one pops a wheelie.

The one will be wrecked the very same day the first one is sold. Good times!

here's some numbers for you gentlemen and this comes directly from a friend of mine who is the sales manager of the largest dodge dealership in the world....where he has 6 of these lovelies on order. as per my beloved Chrysler Corporation:
1-approximately 550 lbs has been removed from the stock hemi V-8 challenger.
2-after weight reduction performed approx. 70 lbs of "ballast" added to right rear area of vehicle to off-set torque twist
3-hemi V-8 and trans assembly offset approx. 2-1/2 inches to passenger side
4-large toggle switch on dashboard has 3 choices of "modes" as follows:
mode #1----stock configuration-----758HP----on pump gas
mode #2----stock configuration-----843HP-----on pump gas
mode #3----does nothing---rendered useless UNTIL you purchase the "Rapid Transit" race package from Chrysler for approx. $1950 retail. the "package" is a very large box that consists of a tech manual, tools to remove passenger seat and entire rear seat assembly....add a block-off panel to rear X-bracing...quick drain attachment for fuel tank....new complete main vehicle computer assembly.....a few other race-type goodies.
following the instructions in the Rapid Transit manual, installing the new computer assembly, draining the tank and adding minimum 100 octane race fuel results in a mind-blowing 1023HP.
my friend also added that during development Chrysler techs running the car in mode #3 consistently ran 1/4 mile times in the low 9 second range with trap speeds of over 140mph. absolutely insane!

Pretty Affordable Price Tag
As if it didn't have enough on its engineering plate, Dodge even had to make sure buyers would be able to insure the new Demon, lining up exotic and classic car specialist Hagerty Insurance as the official backer.
While Dodge officials won't discuss the cost of the project, they admit it wasn't cheap. They also revealed that they ran the project as a skunkworks program, hoping corporate beancounters wouldn't kill it.
They're not going to make the development costs back on sales. According to Kuniskis, the target is just a limited run of 3,300 of these ultimate muscle cars, 300 for Canada and the rest targeted for American buyers.
Pricing hasn't been determined, though the "intention" is to keep the figure below $100,000." By comparison, exotic cars making anywhere near the Demon's performance numbers can surge into the multi-million dollar range.

I'll say the same thing I tell my friends when they want to race my Buell against their (insert car model here);
Meet me on HWY 101 at 4pm and we'll see who is faster.... I've never lost.
