That grey colour looks amazing.
Totally agree. I think that's the one, but I still prefer black.
dsontacchi It does. In person it is fantastic. When it gets wet or after a rainfall it is goddamn sexy af.
The Destroyer Grey is intriguing, it's very vivid for a grey. But that dark merlot Octane Red does it for me 💯.
Well Dodge always had the most vivid colors back in the day imo... maybe the most choices of Wild colors...
That destroyer gray is beautiful and my favorite.
Well done! That first launch you did where you were giggling uncontrollably was golden! One of your most enjoyable vids!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
The Demon seems to be one of the best therapeutic offerings that Dodge has released to date. As usual, dodge killing two birds with one hammer :-)
xenfreder I'm a Mopar guy but the demon is a stupid car ...you can literally take a hellcat (used) do some mods and be just as fast for less money
Rykedrick Williams Totally agree if your into modding...which I am. However some want to buy something that is ready out of the gate. This one checks all those boxes. Glad we all have choices though!
xenfreder yep it's a great time to be a car guy
Rykedrick Williams The demon was made to do more than what a hellcat does with mods or without "Mopar Guy".
DonJulio how do you figure... so far the demon is a flop...it's so track sensitive it's crazy ....the record for hellcat on drag radials is 10.6 I believe...the demons I've seen so far are timing in mid 10s
INCREDIBLE! All this in a car you can drive the family around in and go to the grocery store and it even comes with a warranty. WOW! Well done Dodge. Everyone else is playing catch up!
Knocked it out of the park Brian. The best Demon video I've seen to date!
Thanks, Brett! Glad you enjoyed it! Had a great time, what a car...
Brian Makse I could tell! :)
tanks man
Hell yea love the laughing says it all.
Welcome back, Brian! Missed seeing your videos.
The grey with black looks slick
Another great review! No long winded preamble just the facts driving experience and you honedt reactions! Way to go! Ill take mine in black please!!!
Thanks! I could have done an hour long episode with this thing. I’m fortunate to have driven the Demon and it’s one of the greatest cars of all time.
Dodge!!
You guys knocked it out of the park!!!!
Great shots and review! Even though I would never buy this car, it was a pleasure to learn more about it!
+inchskater thanks!
What ever it is with Indiana and cars I love it, happy to live here
Absolutely fantastic review what incredible & Awesome beast!! Thankyou for sharing with us all this amazing video my friend

The first car that I have ever wanted!
I freaking love that "oh no you didn't grey"😂
Really good review, I love the information you gave. Gave extra insight into how the car works. Earned a sub from me.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy what's coming up!
Very Nice Review Brian. I bet it was a Blast to Take it for a Drive on the Street and Especially on the Drag Strip where it lives! I got a 2015 Hellcat Challenger and i absolutly love it. Ill eventually get a Ride in The Demon someday! Thnx for the Video!
It is a blast. Amazing machine. Thanks - and thanks for watching!
I thought I didn't like it. but seeing this "Destroyer Grey" color in motion, it's actually looks pretty wicked.
Love your videos Brian.
+Hemi Dave thanks! And thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your reaction to the acceleration, Brian!! You were turning times about the same as I turn in my 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 650 horsepower drag car. Ain't it fun???
HECK YEAH! It was my first time at a drag strip. What a blast. Tough to get it right, as well.
Great video and very interesting informative! Thanks so much for sharing
+jpage99999 thanks!
the yellow,solar yellow is beautiful,i had a rare dakota r/t truck this colour
I can't wait to buy it
What a masterpiece. I love that cars like this exist. 😎
Indeed.
Great review. You have driven all kinds of exotics...yet NEVER responded to a car like that.
Truth right there! Glad you liked the vid.
Whether you're a ford, chevy or dodge guy everyones gotta admit america is in a beautiful horsepower war that we can all enjoy!
Now to get our own autobahn...
I really enjoyed this video, especially being a first reaction video, giggling and all that . Really cool. EXCEPT my kids stopped using the word MEGA to describe things years ago, lol Could start a drinking game, take a drink ever time you say mega. Just pulling your leg, great video!
+Pops Smith Mega!
Pops Smith - Better yet, sit down to watch Demon videos. Take a drink each time they launch one down the strip. You'll be drunk in five minutes flat, which is also a production record.
Destroyer Grey looks so fuckin' godlike!
Amazing video very good stuff man Kick Ass Demon.
+AMDSITHLORD thanks for watching!
Hey Brian, I can't believe the guys Dissin' your review. For a guy to run 10's his first time out on a strip is pretty Friggin good! I probably would have wrecked if I drove a machine that fast my first time out (50 years ago). I'm running 11's in a Hellcat Charger and it still feels like a rocket sled to this old guy. I liked your narrative during your review too, you're a pro!
Eagle
+Smokin' Eagle thanks, Eagle! It was a blast! And, hey, the Hellcat's awesome! The new Widebody is definitely my jam.
Love that Destroyer Grey with Satin Black hood, roof and deck lid! 👏🏼👌🏼👍🏼

Not an FCA fan but DAMN, its so beautifully engineered and they can take a massive beating
Absolutely gorgeous car! I kinda wanted to give this video a thumbs down because I'm so envious that it's not me behind the wheel! But massive thumbs up for this immaculate, beast of machinery perfection!
We get thumbs down for less.
Great thorough review...thanks for posting! Love the Destroyer Grey. I've had three Billet Silver Challengers (13/14/15), but will seriously consider Destroyer Grey when my lease is up next year. Demon's out of my budget, sadly... but the wide-bodied Hellcat is intriguing!
+KenRT14 good stuff, thanks for watching!
leaSE
I noticed the shifts bouncing you in the seat, pretty strong. mega is right.
That machine is amazing
👍
You could do that all day and I could hear you giggle like that all day :)
That battleship gray is awesome!
+holoholo haole no ka oi yeah, I dig it too.
That laugh said it all
I'm a Chevy Guy but Dang that's really impressive!!
How do you get to the point of test driving cars on you tube? I had a 2009 challenger RT that would stick like glue in the curves. Even before I lowered it. Awesome car.
You need a cage but at some dragstrips you hafta have a parachute also when your setting those times.
I remember when the release video came out for this I repainted my room.
eye haved deside since i whas 15 years old to baying a challanger one time in life ...and now its looking really great i must say -))))))))
how come the rear seats are there and no bars?
awesome car
Regardless of what people say about the Demon, when a car can make someone feel the way you apparently did, it did its job.
Can't beat that.
Indeed. Glad you enjoyed the piece.
What a monster!
Too cool!
Why is this Demon clocking 11+ in the 1/4?
What does he mean at 2:20 about the slip diff? Has it a slip diff or what does he mean?
Insane
The demon wheels talking of the front wheels want to stand out when he hit the pedal such amazing speed 😁😎
That nervous laughter says it all 😂😂 🔥🔥🔥
I almost peed a little.
Why does it pause wen it jumps from 1st ta 2nd it like a cut off to keep it on tha ground.
Is this car made with a standard transmission?
Pure badassery.
good video
What were your numbers?
What times did you get?
3.09 rear gears? put some 4.56 in there,wonder 0-60 and quarter mile times then?
That was an awesome "piece''. that car is mindblowing....... such awesome usage of modern tech. the ac cooled intercooler, the shocks and trans brake are the most impressive. ps. line lock too :)
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Much more fun to hear this guy laugh than the car making a useless run down the quarter mile.
This is a funny car. Get that one Brian?
Got it. And that is funny.
Brian Makse what did you run for time?
Where would you go to run this? Most (all?) tracks would not let this car run.
I'm not surprise for this one cuz they always push to the limit and since then challenger is one hell of the best. i never dream any luxury car but one day if i have one challenger would be great for me :)
The Challenger is fantastic and worthy of a dream. Keep on it!
so when will these be out and show some real numbers? All these test runs seem to end short
Buy one and find out.
Very cool! : )
The demon is the fucking bomb, baby. O.M.G.
What a car. I used to drive a 1970 challenger, my mom's friend owned. What a joy of a car to drive. It was so much taking that car every where. It was b'fore the challenger became cool, and highly popular. It is cool dodge decided to continue on this new era of new generation, they get to enjoy what I enjoyed in 1970, for r years. O.M.G. have fun driving one new owners. Great choice.
No death effectiveness income sidewalk stir perfectly.
beautiful video! What camera did you guys used for the gimbal shots? it looks super good!
GoPro.
the video at 0:53 is clearly not a gopro :P
I wish someone would do a video of the Interior of "The Demon" and where the Line Lock is & Trans Brake and in the video show the person using them.
Same here.
Did I miss it? How much is this rocket on 4 wheels? Amazing streetable car capable of a mid 9 second quarter mile time right out of the box. 0-60 under 3 seconds?! My mouth is still agape.
You can’t buy these new. I think they’re still selling for way over list.
Why does it look slow on the strip from the outside
Suede steering wheel...YES!!!
Props to dodge for making a kickass car but how long will the diff or driveline live for?
+Ferne Taylor forever. I was doing continuous runs that day.
They went balls to the walls with this thing
I love the car and think it looks like like a lot of fun and would definitely put a smile on anyone's face but with more research I found it only dose 168 mph without the drag tires I expected more
+Conor Mcgregor it's a drag oriented car, mate. If you want something with more legs, get a Hellcat.
Such a beautiful car, I just wish the styling was a bit more different from a typical challenger... Make it a little bit more refined. Of course there are differences, but a normal onlooker can't tell between a base challenger and a Demon. Most performance models of existing cars you can usually see a notable difference. An example would be a 2015 GT vs GT350, Very clear which is the enthusiast/high end model.
That's why blokes like us will know one when we see one.
Indianapolis my hometown, You should of told me, I would have came to see. what is the odds of that the demon first time on a drag track would be here, Must be that I should get one.
Dude you're in Indy?! Let's Link up and have a drive!
+Tanner Lawson I was that day. Haven't been there in years, otherwise. Come to Toronto!
That was Great! I think an open face helmet would be enough. Let's see you drift it now!
+Davil yeah, I've got one of those somewhere, but they look so lame...
Does that have a sun roof
does the power gain from colder air offset the power loss from the resistance of the ac compressor?
It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
hahah i remember the hellcat had 707 HP and in a video with it one of the dodge instructors said that the next car shuld have 808 HP
I own one. Love it
When did you take delivery?
At 7:58...sounds like a lion growling!! Awsome car
Love it! As an old time Demon drag racer ('72) I shudder to think what all of "the built in tech" is going to unleash on the general public. We all know there are far too many kids out there with more dollars than sense, who will "follow the directions" and get into trouble INSTANTLY! I see them regularly with their tuner cars getting in lots of trouble on the street. It takes years to learn how to handle a drag car properly, and now all they have to do is push a couple of buttons, and they are good to go. Even though I would personally love one (even to play with for a day or two) ... having one in the untrained, and inexperienced, hands of some of these kids nowadays is just scary!
+Doc Dolan that was basically me. I'd never been on a drag strip before that day.
I heard you say that .... however, I am sure you got a 'primer' before getting in the seat, and you seem like a reasonable adult who knows his limitations, and acts accordingly!
Decades of racing might have helped, but this thing is remarkably civilized. With limited volume, few kids will get their hands on them. Idiots, however, will undoubtedly crash them as soon as they hit the ground. It will be a sad day because this is a truly legendary car.
That it will! I have HAD that experience (putting something in someone's hands who had no idea how to handle it). I sold a high performance HD Chopper to a kid ... for 4 times what it cost me to build it. (I really wasn't looking to sell ... but for that money ... !) His Daddy gave me a cashiers check for it. He didn't have it a week before he wrapped it around a telephone pole out on the highway. I "strongly advised" his father to make sure he took lessons on Big Twins before letting him have it, warning him it was way too much bike for the kid ... but he didn't - two years of building ... utterly destroyed in a few seconds. The kid eventually healed, and I was told that he was never going to ride again. Luckily he didn't hurt anyone but himself. I'd hate to see that happen to one of these ... but like you say, I am sure it will.
yes
His reaction at about 5:20 is worth the video
Would like to buy one of those Demon t-shirts. Were did you get it from?? let me know. Thanks
Tell Jim I sent you! www.detroitshirt.com/collections/mens-unisex/products/mens-new-dodge-demon-fire-heather-black
I NEED IT IN ALL BLACK AND WITH CUSTOM WHEELS THOUGH
Best car ever superb widebody
OMG i want 1 !!!
Wrong on the nhra part. Nhra actually loves and embraces the car, but you just need to install roll cage for safety. Its just because it isnt safe going at those speeds with a roll cage..
Does Dodge sell the car with a cage?
Great video! Thanks! And to everybody that doesnt like dodge. Atleast dodge is motivating other car companies to make faster, safer cars! And thats pretty cool! Lol!
Thanks!
The more I see the Demon the more I want to drive one
Can’t wait to see what they do with the Dodge Charger Angel
Nah, Volvo is the brand that’s virtue signaling these days.
Brian Makse Aw, so the angel concept wont be true??
One guy says you can't buy insurance for it. Wonder if that depends on the state you live in?
+Thuy tien luu ngoc one guy has too many DUIs, perhaps.
RIP To The Voss Bottle @ 5:12
That laugh makes me want a ride
The fastest thing I've driven in a very long time. Crazy...
