    To my knowledge, this is the only proper third-party test of the Dodge Demon on a drag strip - hat's off Jason & co for making this happen!! Also, makes the 8.9s Dodge claim *really* hard to believe. RWD is hard!

    • @kkellywv
      @kkellywv 5 місяців тому +464

      Dodge's 8.9 claim was with a single seat spec car, which the one in this video wasn't, and with MUCH better density altitude and track prep. You know as well as anyone that DA can make or break an ICE car and not all "track prep" is equal. You could tell it still wasn't hooking by the in-car shots showing intense wheel hop and it wasn't pulling the wheels up anywhere near as high or as far as what a lot of the other ones do. I've seen stock ones almost trip the 60ft timers with the back tires. It takes very low DA and excellent track prep on the factory tires or going up a size in the rear to get a D170 to dead hook. There are privately owned stock D170s running in the 8.8-9.2 range either on the factory rubber or with a wheel/tire swap. With all that said, Tom Bailey is a phenomenal driver and the Lucid is an incredible car, no doubt about either of those.

      Not a single street legal Demon 170 exists that does under 9 seconds quarter mile. That is simply not possible on street legal tires, not that the Demon would do it with pre-heated drag tires on superglued tarmac either. I doubt it
      If you want sub 9 seconds 1/4 mile times on street legal tires you need a rocket engine.

      Lots of people build faster and better than the Demon in their own garages for $100K (or less), while at $250K this EV is as good as it gets.
      It's deceptive to strictly compare production models to make the EV look like ICE can't keep up. Marketing gimmick and great click bait though.

      In Olympic fencing (for example) there is a 1/50th second "lag" time for the buttons on the end of the foils and epees to be read by the machines. In old machines it was just there... but in new machines it has been built in to act like the old scoring machines did, to keep it fair to the existing records.

It's 600+ feet above sea level and the average DA of over 3000ft most of the time. Just for reference, you can search DA online and on 7/10/2024 at 4pm, Famosa had a DA of 4400ft about sea level. General rule is, for every 1000ft, a car loses 3% of it's power. To hit that 9.7 time, it was probably late in the evening when the DA dropped a little bit.
