The public has been fooled by advertising. No Demon 170 sold to the public will lay down an 8 second run, ever, not stock.
I remember in like 2012 when Ford told everyone their new GT500 was a 200mph car, when tested it wasn't even close.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out the Dodge 8.91 claim was a computer generated estimated best time.

I just read a couple of articles about that i forgot it was that long ago 🤣
Interestingly enough Pobst did get the GT500 up to 196mph on a banked oval and said he thought it would do 200 om an interstate just needed a longer straightaway.
Ford claimed it had seen 200mph in Italy on some test track (was that speedo or test equipment?)
Good read nonetheless.
Ps - that was at 1900ft elevation. At sea level no doubt it would do 200mph imho. And I'm no Mustang fan. I actually dislike them I'm a camaro challenger person.

I have raced enough to know that stock vs stock ,any stock is for the would be racers.
You race in class. Unless you are a novelty act and usually get paid for your pass. It does not
matter what kind of racing you are doing, you are in class. A EV should be racing against it's EV class..
Beating a Z06 Corvette or a Demon means nothing. Not in class. No compitition.

So in the end any of these ridiculous cars are fantastic for different reasons and what a time to be alive (for an auto enthusiast).

Certified whiner too.....and the plaid will be ugly 100 times out of a 100 and still SLOWER than that old fat piggy Dodge...
HOLY $#!& LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OF the 170
HOLY $#!& LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OF the 170
- 1,025total horsepower at 6,500 rpm.
- 945 lb.-ftof torque at 4,200 rpm.
- The world's quickest 0-60 production car at 1.66 seconds.
- The highest g-force acceleration of any production car at 2.004 Gs.
- History's first-ever eight-second factory muscle car 8.91-seconds ET
Plaid with 19" factory wheels runs within .2 of the 9.23 official time on every single run. Gutted Plaids run high 8's to low 9's all day.

You keep clinging to virtually unobtainable numbers that were achieved in ideal conditions that are unrealistic in 99% of all cases. Many people have taken out their Demon 170 to the track and most ran mid to upper 9's.

You keep whining and thinking your word means something more than they do....we're not talking about consistency anyhow...the fact is the Challenger is FASTER than that ugly golf cart....NHRA says so...
Consistency might be nice when you're shitting...otherwise its not pertinent....Those Challenger runs were made in Las Vegas so not mine shaft air or perfect conditions either...
But go with your happy place space...If I had a 100k plus car suddenly worth about half I'd be looking for any positives I could invent in my head too...

I can't believe I wasted my time reading this 🤣
Every car I have ever owned or will own is slower than either car posted- and I'd still rather have my slow cars. There is a lot more to me than 0-60 or 1/4mi times

You are making zero sense. I'll tell you what, post up the 8 second factory stock demon 170 run. We'll wait.
But you post up the proof the nhra certification is a lie....

Better yet, post anything I've said that backs up your belief I'm an EV "slurper" and you arent just a follower spouting nonsense.

The NHRA (if the certification even actually exists) would have no idea the car Dodge used for the unseen, undocumented, and no evidence it actually happened 8 second run was a specially prepared car and not one that will ever be produced. You made the claim, back it up.
Better yet, post anything I've said that backs up your belief I'm an EV "slurper" and you arent just a follower spouting nonsense.
