Thinking the same.
Maybe it runs this number and it doesn't need all the bullshit the Demon needed to run a 9.65. Then again, I truly believe the Demon was made to run 10 flat and they went all out to see how fast they could make it run.

Now the limit is 9 flat.

Kick ass car no one will ever see at a drag strip. Kudos Dodge.
What else do you got?
They’ll use the 8.99 number so it will be “illegal”. 😂 Legion of Demons will be challenging these guys to come out and run that 8.99 to prove it.

Its cool and all but out of my league $$$.
100k ADMs are already being planned for the lucky dealers who get to sell them.

Dodge doesn't need this car to sell more Hellcats in the future. This is just their last hurrah.

Dealer down the street from work has 8 WB scats sitting outside. 45-50k each. Might do that with a 426 and a new whipple. Go just as fast and don't have kiss ass at dealers to get one.

...and an electric aberration that goes "meow, meow" :mad:. Only thing they have left that I would want is a TRX to round out the Bro'hood of Muscle fleet.

It truly is a kick in the nuts
Looks more like poor business planning to me. They got successful and sat on their hands.

@jonx96 has proved a pulley only Redeye will go 8s. It is harder for the factory to do it but with a 3.0 blower and light weight it can be done. Be curious how they addressed all the axle failures in testing along with engine issues

Maybe they didn’t. The Demon wasn’t really a everyday 9.6 car when that went down. They pulled a lot of tricks out of the bag to promote that number. If they manage to run a documented 8.9999 (9.0) pass under otherworldly conditions….. they will use it just like back then. It’s all about the hype, not reality. I mean… they’re using insane Leprechauns now for crap sake 😳. I think part of the plan is that not many (any?) of these things will get beat on. Way too much collector value to do that. Can’t break a car sitting in a collection.

best guesses...

"105@" = octane (e85 tune)

3.02x2.98= 8.99 ET 1/4 mi time

1582 number of cars built… perhaps number of original demon owners that still own their cars. So allocation directly to demon owners.

I just cant see them allocating it all to demon owners. Nothing against them but i dont see how that benefits the company in any way

I’ve never had much interest in the Hellcats
I always liked the turn key drag paks though.
Demon is cool too.
I was going to buy the first drag pak but turned out it was not turn key.

Looks like Fox News is reading our speculations here lol. I agree now that that 1582 number is probably cfm. It shows up when he “breathes” into the meter. A lot of people paying a lot of attention to this circus. Ford and GM has got to be watching (cringing). 😝

I also agree that the will probably do the crate thing again. “Last Crate”. No more crates. What are they going to put in them. Batteries 😂

The CFM makes more sense to be honest.

105 throttle body
3.02 supercharger pulley size
2.98 blower size
1582 CFM

Especially with the leper freak blowing through an anemometer.
