Stop, really?
An Explosive Development: Here’s Why Dodge’s “Last Call” Muscle Car Won’t Be Ready for SEMA - The Detroit Bureau
Dodge officials were hoping to give their limited run "Last Call" muscle cars a big send off at SEMA. However, attempting to push the limits, the engineers keep blowing up the engines on the last one. Find out more at TheDetroitBureau.com.

Like I’ve said before and everyone else has said before. The earlier Hellcat (non-Redeye) internals handle more power better. Just facts. Glad their engineers are finally realizing what the aftermarket has known for a long time lol
Aftermarket and OEM are totally different animals. The aftermarket parts and engines can make TONS of power but at what reliability/emissions cost?
If Dodge makes a 909hp engine it has to:
1)last 150k miles
2)Need to meet emissions
3)can't destroy cats
4)meet noise and other regulations
5)has to have a level of drivability that people won't complain about (e.g. huge cam surging etc)
It's not hard to pulley a hellcat, get larger injectors and pump, and remove the cats and push 1100 hp. But that engine is not going to have the reliability as a stock motor and will not pass emissions......

Holy Crap!
They'll offer it with a manual trans.

Screw cats, what about squirrels or opossums? F***ing cat lovers. I get the fact that if it doesn't make 10 decibels at idle it's not a muscle car and shouldn't be street legal but who cares about stupid cats? 😝

If I get one, it will. I will be racing it O F T E N. Period.
I'm sure Dodge would make sure you got one.

Dodge ran an article of SEMA's past, it starts Wednesday.
Countdown to SEMA: 2014 – 2021 Highlights
While I can appreciate the work, original looks better to me, the side panels look like they slapped a trunk on the front. Think it's the blended bumper, just looks off. Wouldn't kick it out of the garage though.

And sell me your Demon
I was planning on keeping it, if possible. This is a really likeable car that works really good on the drag strip and it has a cool history. The only way I would sell it is if the new car dropped and I needed to return the money I took out of my retirement account to close the deal. I "think" my current budget would cover the #7 car. But it really depends on what the MSRP ends up being......And sell me your Demon
