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.

I like the way that you put that Omar!

[@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!

[@davidp2888]

0-60 in 2.1 seconds. What’s the “0-holy 💩” time? 😂

[@Hellcat-pg5pq]

Dodge used smaller rotors with 4 piston calipers due to the Demon using 18" wheels instead of 20" as used on Hellcats with 6 piston calipers. Not as much for weight reduction

My regular Hellcat with a 6 speed manual gave me all the performance i could want. A little more well rounded than the Demon but not the quarter mile car.

[@RaitisRides]

I agree with you

[@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

[@joshuafigueroa6]

You forgot room for the devil dogs! 😂

The demon is just such a beautiful muscle car. Still doesn't top the GT500 imo, but easily second place in my favourites

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.
