Is the 2018 Dodge Challenger Demon the BEST muscle car ever built?

[@RaitisRides]

Hello everyone! Thanks for spending your Sunday with us! Make sure to check out the THREE smokey burnouts I did in this beast! We had to smoke'em because we got'em!

Nice. I tried to order a challenger on Friday but they closed the orders last week. It sucks but i have my mustang. I just wish more people drove manuals so i can find the challenger i would buy.

Yes, it was designed to be a street strip muscle car and it was executed flawlessly. The Demon is badass incarnate.

[@terryrutherford2114]

When I recently sold my 2011 CTS-V my Son told me to buy a Demon. I told him that it will perform in a straight line but I wanted another Corvette. I opted for a 2016 Z06 3LZ, I don't regret it. I'll bet I could drag that Demon around a track., or in the twistys. My Cadi with the LSA and cold air intake had a screaming supercharger. I do miss it in the LT4 Corvette. Thanks for the video Joe!

[@RaitisRides]

You have a real keeper Terry!

[@carminehd]

Put the stage 2 kit in the Redeye and you will get to 885hp. The redeye has the same engine plus it has no speed restriction on it. They are fantastic cars.

[@paulpresto7346]

Can say with conviction these cars are a great ride-fun to drive and a carnival ride from all angles. Don't stop making these Dodge -that would be a huge business blunder.

[@RaitisRides]

That is so very true!

[@fzbwarlust]

I just recently bought one of these and I can't beat your reaction and expression on how I feel about this car. I had a 2019 Hellcat Charger that I loved, but this is a whole different animal. Smiles per gallon, light 'em if you got 'em everyday :)

[@RaitisRides]

That is so awesome!

[@Legendary-2024]

So jelly 😢😂 lucky man!! I remember watching the live reveal in 2017 for the demon, was super excited watching. The demon blew the automotive world up, every social media site, every news outlet and car magazines featured the demon.. good times 😊

The original Demon is more important than 170. It laid the foundation to have a 170. I would love to have either, but both are completely out of my budget. I would leave the graphics, Dream Car always makes their stuff look tasteful without over doing it.

[@SJones-oi2wb]

I never understood why people spend that much money on this car it’s basically all engine you’re paying for but unless you’re taking it to the track you’re very rarely if ever gonna get to use the engines full potential and the people who own these cars and using them to their full potential on the streets creating hazardous conditions on the roads or running from police are the ones you have to thank for these cars being discontinued after the demon170
