If going straight and fast is all you want in a car, then I'm sure that one won't disappoint.
If you want to experience everything else that a car can offer you, then there are plenty other vehicles you can spend $100K on and enjoy just as much.

Choice is yours.

Fastest production car ever made is a pretty stellar achievement.

Yep. Some of the people in this thread are acting like they are Nico Rosberg.

Road and Track is reporting it will have the six-year, 60,000-mile drivetrain warranty. I'd like to see the fine print for sure!

I think the car also only comes with a driver's seat as an option. No passenger, no rear seats.

Correct and I believe those options will cost you $1 each...

If your mechanic friends spent 90k on a track car and can't run faster than mid 9's, then they are either terrible mechanics or even worse drivers.

Don't be stupid. People have paid millions for classic Mopars. The Demon is a future classic as is the Viper. People will pay well over 105k for these vehicles at Barrett-Jackson 2057

LOL

It was slightly tongue-in-cheek, but these cars will seriously be collector cars in the future. Hellcats and Demons are the Hemi and 440 6-pack cuda's of today.

ETA: also at people in here trying to compare Mustang GT350's and Nissan GTR's to this thing. So dense...

I was wondering how long it would be before one of the big 3 built a pure straight line production car. 


It was called the COPO Camaro

Can't wait for a better manufacturer to make a competitor to this.

This car has no place on the market.

So it can run 9's in the 1/4.

One time then the track officials will kick you off for not having a roll cage and they will never let you back.

If you're going to produce a vehicle that runs 9's then at least make it practical for its application.
