Performance Made Us Do It: Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept Previews Brand’s Electrified Future

and narrow body version too, I think this is supposed to be B5 blue ...

What's that?

What's that?

1320 Charger

So this Super Bee is a cool car IMO.

Drag mode and available in both wide body and narrow body.

I wanted a Hellcat like this and now think one is probably coming.

 

[Magnified]

And what is the purpose Of this drag mode?? In my opinion I would love to see a more Porsche like launch control. The sensors and computing power are already in place for for a world beating launch control process for this car but for some reason Dodge never has brought it to fruition.

 

[Boris]

Demon's drag mode that found its way over to the 1320 Challenger.
That car ran 11.70s (according to Dodge) on 20" drag radials.

This now has the Demon/1320 suspension package, drag mode, likely the trans brake on the 315 drag radial setup up of the Demon.

 

[Boris]

Im wondering if its actually a 1320 or more like a Super Stock.

Said "Drag Mode" but no mention of the trans brake. Super Stock has Track Mode and suspension tuned for drag racing.

I dig this one.
Hope a regular Hellcat gets similar treatment.

Saw this somewhere and had to share LOL

I would speculate that the King Daytona might be the Super Stock version for the HC Charger.

An S/S Charger is needed…

LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will ICE prices go up or down with the EV revolution upon us ??

SUPER HP ICE (during this latest muscle war 2006-->)?

Up $$ is my bet over time...also manual HP (modern) ICE

The old stuff should be business as usual, not much impact either way I'd think (60s and early 70s muscle)

 

[Illegal_Demon]

LOL

Z06 109k
Raptor R 110k
Escalade V 150k

Demons sold 20k over their 85k MSRP. Loaded up Demons topped 95k. Plus inflation and that comes in around 112-115k in today's dollars.
Dodge knows their dealers will tack it on. They tried to get them to stop, and like Ford and GM, know there is little they can actually do. If Dodge is smart, they take a little extra on the top for themselves. This is how I got to 120k.

Dodge didn't do enough...have a lottery for the Last Cars and direct sell to the customers...ala ford GT (minus the snooty application/are u worthy process).

As a parting gift, they actively made the decision to "reward" their "best" dealerships which also means they actively said FU to their most loyal, diehard customers.

They want an eclectic millennial customer base. They can have it after all this BS. Funny thing is, I think they are delusional. Young people are NOT flocking to "Dodge", lol.

$90K is pushing it IMO. $60-$75K is my number for these. I bought my 2016 for $60K, sticker was $72K. I doubt that was a loss at $60K or they wouldn't have sold it to me for that. What's different about a 2022 model that's $84K optioned the same as my 2016?

Your 72,000 sticker from 2016 is currently 88,880.21 as of today. Simply due to inflation (+23.33%).

[Speedy!]

2022 Inflation is not the norm though, AND I got mine for $12K off sticker. People today are paying $10K over for most from what I'm reading.

Like I said, I could see 10% or even 18% with normal negotiating involved, but we're talking about 30%+ vs what I paid for mine.

Keep in mind that there wasn't a lack of vehicles, new or used, back then. It does make a difference.

All of the cards are stacked against us… we have to wait it out.
