Just got my VIN # for the Demon. Should not be too long now before car is delivered!!
Was coming home from western Kansas today and this rolled up on me.... He turned off at Russell, KS and followed him to a McDonalds but he went in and I couldn't wait. Michigan Manufacturer plates. The steering wheel sticker says "Do not use cruise control" which I though was weird. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nice. Some colors were to be delayed introduction. Was Mango one of them? I just realized that I could view all the colors for the Demon on the website. I gave up looking earlier but am happy to see its now up there.
Here's hoping you new owners avoid this type of incident. http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2017/09/11/two-men-killed-test-driving-dodge-challenger-hellcat-on-airport-runway.html
You don't want to use the cruise on brand new car...especially driving it a distance from the dealership. You want the engine to break-in at various RPM's not at constant speed...hence the note to the driver. Brian
I read where the first production Demon rolled off the assembly line on Sept 13th. No color or destination mentioned although they did say the car would not be delivered for awhile as it will be kept at the factory? Maybe checking on build quality?
You should checkout hellcat dot org. They have a Demon section. There is a guy named RS who posts what VON numbers have VIN's and will be able to give updated info. He did this for the production of the Hellcats he must work at FCA.
good review on motorweek tv show. tested on very hot day so couldnt get sub 10 but ran all day long with no issues. some of the runs had std front tires and some skinnies but didnt tell what differences were. used race gas so assume also used the optional ecu
Very nice to see other Demon owners on this forum. I ordered on day one, 6/21, was one of the first to have a VIN and my car was just built last Saturday #283 in TorRed. Hoping it ships soon and get to test this beast out! Have you all seen the additional goodies available especially the VBOX? It's a must have! http://www.hotrod.com/articles/released-fire-demon/
