Valid point, but the average consumer doesn't pay attention to that and looks at the mere HP numbers.
The average consumer isn't buying a hellcat or a gt500.

There was a special edition Mustand at the Ford dealership here in Greensboro with 1000hp. It was around $90k I think.

Wonder what kind of wizardry Ford will have to put that much power to the ground?

Was it a new one?

This is definitely the greatest time to be a car guy, and our domestic companies have stepped up their game.
It's amazing that you can drop 70k on a fricking camaro or Mustang and compete with 150k-200k cars on the track.

And I get that the Demon has a little more hp than 760 but for some reason Ford has always done a better job as far as acceleration goes putting the power to the ground. Amazing feat with IRS.
I like both cars but I would think objectively the edge for putting power to the ground goes to the Demon. It also has IRS and puts 800+ hp and 700+ tq to the ground efficiently enough to lift a wheel in a 4500 lbs car...through an automatic transmission. Some seriously over engineered parts in that thing.

Something about that rear spoiler is a turnoff.
Agreed. Looks like something put on the back of a civic. Of course with 700+ hp a spoiler might be necessary but they can do better than that.

That's my personal experience.

Don’t discount that at all, but a lot of that comes down to driver mod too. I was just spec sheet racing, for lack of a better term.

understood. I've never seen a Hellcat lift a wheel. Have any videos of that? I'd like to see.

To make 760 HP.

I understand Gear Shift timing is going to be much faster in an automatic. But the fact that this is only going to come with an automatic transmission deserves a

Was talking about the Challenger Demon, not the Hellcat. Demon has a more hopped up Hellcat motor making 840hp/770tq on race fuel. Also comes with a box from the factory that includes a second set of rims (radials and skinnies). There are videos of it online lifting the front when on race fuel and radials (not that high though).
