$85k is really, really cheap for that much car.
Folks who want to drag race. Viper isn't really a drag type car without some annoying mods.Meh, who'd want a Dodge for $85k unless it's a Viper?
Try and find a turnkey car that does sub 10 sec 1/4 miles. With factory warranty and well under $100k. Makes a COPO Camaro look like a bad choice. The ford corbra jet was faster and priced around $100k but you had to be quick to get one. Neither the COPO camaro nor the cobra jet were street legal.
I'm no expert but it looks like a better effort from Dodge at NHRA stock class racing than the weak sauce Drag Pak.

If you give a rats ass about that of course. I don't.
Wonder what the markup will be on these. Probably put them into AMG Mercedes territory.
Not saying that it's not a major accomplishment for a stock car, but it's neither a drag car or a street car, but some compromise in between. .
Uhm yeah people shopping for a Dodge Demon are going to cross shop it with an AMG.
For not giving a rat's ass you decided to post not once but twice about Mercedes in a dodge thread. We get it already. You are really in love with mercedes and take every opportunity to remind us. Yep, Mercedes is the awesomest. You win.
I view it as a niche vehicle that doesn't require a hauler to participate in sanctioned events. The con you mention becomes a pro.
Won't be much fun getting kicked out after running under 10sec without a roll cage...
I don't know about you, but if it comes stock with drag radials and skinnies, I'm not driving that to the track. Still need to haul it somehow.
I think Dodge included a trans-lock to permit 500 ft-lbs at launch but normally your going to use the line-lock to do burn some rubber to get those tires sticky. Since this is a one-year build limited to 3,000 cars many will look to try and snag one and garage it for re-sale when this type of vehicle is not allowed to be sold by a major manufacturer. Shi*, go to an auction and see what a mint all-original Boss 429 or '71 454 Chevelle are fetching, it's nuts!.I'd love to see owners trying for that 9.65 second quarter mile. From my experience watching Hellcat owners, they'll just be sitting there spinning when the light turns green.
Here's a 2016 with just 4K on it for $54,900. I think once supply caught up with demand things settled down somewhat. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...CHALLENGER&makeCodeList=DODGE&searchRadius=25If it's like the Hellcat in my area, it'll be $100k+. The local dealership has TWO Hellcats at around $90k with their $30k dealer markup!!
