Default Fast cars...

Ive always had pretty fast cars for being stock mostly all Z06s and Cadi CTSV in their time period BUT yesterday I got my first ride in a DEMON and my friend launched it with the drag radials and at 808 hp and I can tell you this car scared the crap out of me it is wickedly fast. When I got back home I told him that I was junking all of my "fast" cars for scrap after being in that thing..lol If you ever get a chance to get launched in one take the opportunity you wont be disappointed...

I can only stand a certain amount of fear.

The Demons are pretty sweet cars actually... Not a Dodge fan in any form or fashion.. Well, perhaps a Viper...

I have ran into some Demons here in Dallas near Mexico... But every time I am in the wrong car.. (TBSS)… lol

I would not even consider scrapping my C6ZR1 for a Dodge Demon... But I can appreciate the car for what it is.

A 600 hp HCI C6Z will destroy a 800+ hp Demon.

I took a Tesla Model S for a spin, in Ludicrous mode. Quickest car I ever drove. Nice thing is you don't have to warm up the tires, just the battery pack....

Yeah I get “fast car” is relative to the persons experience, one guys fast car could be another dudes “yawn” lol regardless that launch in the demon pulled some G’s so I get you man! Roll racing they do get eaten alive by vette’s with way less whp though. Demon is a great 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile car.


Now if you want some next level fear.....go for a ride in a 900+whp C6 😳 pulling G’s in second and third gear, mine is terrifying but in a healthy way..

too bad it's a land yacht and not smaller/lighter (like 4-500lbs lighter) Cool for what it is but the 'RedEye' is the better street car

I'm sure there are tons of cars faster etc I'm just talking about my experience for the first time in one. It was incredible. I'm sure on a track ment for handling cars with suspensions designed for that will beat it I was just talking about the launch of this thing. I was impressed.

Also, cars always feel faster in the passenger seat.

Driving a car with an automatic transmission in a straight line doesn’t require much skill.

If you think those are fast you should try a 1000+rwhp car, or a 1500+awhp car.

I have always wondered what that would be like. Above my pay grade. Closest I can come is to say I know people that have that kind of fun.

It's a purpose built car and does it well. ​​​​​​​

I was close to getting a demon before the ZR1, but wasnt ready to get out of the corvette family. Really, If I found one at the right price, I would have jumped on it. Their pretty fun cars and I love their whine.
