Not really. Demon 170's had an MSRP of 96-120k, sure, but the average new purchase prices was something like 175,000 due to dealer markups ranging from 50k to 250k and only a year later they're selling for 120k.
This. I don't understand still how you can get a hellcat crate engine for 20k, the car is like 20k.... somehow the car is 150k?! Are people really on crackpipes out there?
Cool until a guy who spent 1/3 as much yet runs a faster 1/4 pulls up. Drag racing is supposed to be a grassroots hobby thing. Showing up in a $150k Chally or a $150k Plaid is pretty pointless.
what's not cool about that? i love when i get beat on the strip by guys who built their cars. we've all been that guy who built something that can outrun cars much more expensive, and know how good it feels to beat someone in a new fast car. why wouldn't you want to provide that for newer guys in the hobby?

there will always be someone with something faster than you. you bring your fully prepped funny car and some guy shows up with a lawn chair sitting on rollers strapped to a jet engine.
Not everyone wants to deal with rando performance shops who hold your car hostage for over a year trying to get it running and then still having issues with shit breaking or not being tuned well. Easier to just buy a turn key drag car. Who cares if someone else is a half second faster. Doesn't mean your car isn't still fast.
Everything you just said only functions under the pretense that you have to take your car to a shop.
I.e. You just outed yourself as a helpless wrenchlet
Electricity isn't gay. Batteries are gay. My gas car has an electric starter motor, lamps, digital displays, computers, and wires.

Your gas car also has a battery so it's gay

A battery that doesn't have to be plugged into an outlet every couple hundred miles for at least half an hour because the alternator charges it.
It's impractical. And gay.

So what you are saying is, that the battery in your gas car is impractical and gay?
Same with you, grammar queer. You're both proving how homosexual EVs are.

fricking based. Basically all the sick drag race mawdz I did to my mustang GT when I was 18. All to cut the 0-60 time from 6.6 to 6.5
It doesn't really matter. Half a dozen car companies made the fastest things ever and it never made them any money. Did Mclaren ever make dough off the F1? Did VAG for the Veyron? None of ti actually matters, barely gets PR too. Some music star that women like will get a lot more cars sold.
I was in a Dodge dealership the other day, and they had 2 Demons, both already sold. I asked one of the salesmen what kind of person buys them. Basically, investors, who may put 20 miles on them and then put them in storage, hoping they will go up in value. Maybe trailer it to Cars and Coffee. No one actually drives, much less tracks Demons.
Black person here
any of my fellow Black folk know if can i put my challenger up as collateral for a bail bond?
it's still on payments for another 37 years if that matters
Nice, until you realize you bought a Dodge.
a dodge that holds value even better than 911 GT3s.
Yeah, because the only thing worse than a Dodge is something made by a company owned by VW.
Not really. Demon 170's had an MSRP of 96-120k, sure, but the average new purchase prices was something like 175,000 due to dealer markups ranging from 50k to 250k and only a year later they're selling for 120k.
>only a year later they're selling for 120k
where, show me
No one believes your burger shitbox is better than any Porsche
then why does it hold value better?
I'd prefer the Porsche Tiger than your current Porsche 911s.

You are a dirty wrenchlet. The only >people who take their drag car to a shop also take wiener in their ass.
id rather have a tesla plaid s which is silent with full interior that is awd and comfy as frick for 80k.
also the challenger oem mod list is boyracer cringe as frick.
lol that's gay

God I fricking hate that shit. Frick those people.
People here wasting time with racial bullshittery while the real enemies are there inflating car prices and letting them rot in storage…
It's working exactly as planned. To keep you distracted with irrelevant shit while they run off with all the wealth.
Basically insecure losers buy it
It should be illegal to do this. It should also be illegal to drive these cars slow

Very awesome
*puts it in a garage to sell to a rapper in 30 years*
Not very because no strip would let you run it, considering any car under 10 seconds needs a full cage
And 8 seconds requires a parachute.
Dodge sells a cage and parachute as an option or a purchase after.
nowhere near as cool as push starting a manual swapped front engine tube chassis dragster from the 60s and doing wheelies on the highway.
Vadge demon
What are the tow ratings? Must be over 12K lbs with all that power.
It'd suck shit with all of the boomers casually going 10 under the limit everywhere now.
Get some push bars and practice your pit maneuver.
