Ok with that said would you trade your 22 for a demon over #7?
No sir, I was already offered my choice between 7 demons and said no thanks. Keep in mind there is 300 Demons in Canada, only 65 2022 Jailbreak’s and mine is the only 1 Frostbite making it a true 1 of 1

Unfortunately, #7 will be faster/better/rarer than the Demon.
Not unfortunate if you have both in your garage, lol. Personally, I never thought it would STILL be the King Kong 5 years after it came out... It's running on bonus time as it is!

Plus it's the OG and has more than doubled in value. I think Demon owners are more than ok with how things turned out.

So the demon is without a doubt a collectors item then no?
The Demon is definitely a collectable car, but it won’t be extremely rare since most were purchased to not be driven.
If the #7 Last Call is faster or more HP, I don’t believe it will make any difference on the value of a Demon

I personally believe the 7 car will be running E100. E85 on a top tier performance car is a dangerous, poorly regulated fuel. E100 is not.
A good tuner will always tune pump e85 as if it were e60, so I'm sure Dodge would do the same, along with having a flex fuel sensor. Pump e85 should never be tuned as if it were e85.

Yep, which is what I was getting at with my E100 debate. Selecting E85 requires a hyper conservative tune that leaves a lot of power on the table. E100 is only available through specialty vendors and it's only blended with a small amount of gasoline.

Either way, the problem with E85 or E100 is the water retention over time. I'm fearful of the fact that the people who pop on this car are going to be the typical richy-rich types who park their cars on battery tenders and drive them 2-3x a year. I fully expect these types to fill their cars with E85 and let them sit 3-6 months. Some of them are going to damage their engines and Dodge will get sued 6 ways from Sunday.

It doesn't mean Dodge is going to lose those lawsuits, but never underestimate what rich people with more money than sense can do to their cars. Dodge has tech writers like myself on staff who's responsible for writing those warning and caution memos in the owner's manual that say something like, "Do not store unused E85 in the gas tank for longer than 60 days" or whatever number they decide to use.

Definitely valid points.
