I can just hear the sirens going off in the neighborhood already!

On the other hand, it would be fun to have such a peppy ride!

These things are going to get $40K + over window sticker - when they come out.

It's basically a factory built drag strip car. 808 Hp!

Yes, I can't see myself in one unless I were to win the Lotto, or Mega ball, or come up with a real, workable cold fusion that will be the next transportation, and put Elon Musk either out of business or working for me.

New sales motto: "...EPA be damned!"

Awesome.....

You hit the nail in the head: No good around corners. But there are other aspects that are "wrong" in a sense, like 1) too heavy, 2) Too expensive, 3) too impractical.

The dumb owners of Chrysler have completely forgotten the roots of the Dodge brand: Affordable high performance cars for people. Long gone are the Super Bees made from lower performance cars, the R/Ts, and more recently, the SRT-4 and even the Caliber-SRT.

And when they could produce the next one (imagine a well designed, well built, and correctly priced Dart SRT-4 with proper sport suspension, decent brakes and the next version of the 2.4L Turbo engine with a little more than 300 HP), they discontinued it! Hard to be dumber.

Back in November, I leased a Dodge Journey SXT. On the first day I drove it home from my office, the outside temperature gauge was reading below 0 - in Southern California!

The next day I was heading out of my community, when the check engine light came on. When I got to my office, I called Dodge customer service. The rep wasn't very good and he didn't want to listen to me. He kept trying to get me to go to the dealer and get me off the phone. It took the threat of me sending a letter to the CEO that got him to listen. After a very long hold, he gave me the "good" news. I would have to drive about 30 minutes to the nearest Dodge dealer. The would look at my car and if they needed to keep it overnight, they would give me a ride back to my office! I live 45 miles from my office, so that wasn't going to cut it. After more pushing, he finally agreed to give me a loaner car.

The dealer was pretty bad. One service writer and a cashier. A 30 minute wait was not what I was expecting - I've dropped off many cars and anything longer than 10 minutes is a rarity. When he finally got done with his client (only one client in the 30 minutes), he asked what I needed. He checked in the car and sent me to the cashier for a loaner car. They gave me a dirty Jeep Patriot - dirty in and out. When I started the car, the tire pressure light was on. When I complained, they had one of their mechanics come down to pull the car into the garage and add air to the tires. When I asked if there was a nail/screw, etc in the tire, she said no. When I asked how she knew, she stumbled and in so many words admitted that she didn't. I had her put the low tire pressure on the loaner agreement - pre-existing condition.

It took the dealer over two weeks to figure out the problem. After doing their normal guessing game and parts swap, they gave up and called Detroit. A new wire harness was sent and I finally got my new car back. The funny thing is that they didn't even wash my car!

Your choice of the word "wrong" is the definition of the Chrysler Corporation. I really wish I could like their cars, but after two recent leases, I'm through with them.

I read that what you get with the new Demon purchase is a voucher to buy those "aftermarket" tires & wheels for a dollar (or some ridiculous price close to 0) from the parts department.

But, yes... goes like stink in a straight line but not in turns.

Here's the tech sheet for the 2018 Demon - fresh from Chrysler. Front tire size is listed as 315 - same as the back tire ... and on 11 inch wide wheels! I don't know how they fit in the front wheel well and they don't rub??

Look at "Passenger Capacity"! Or "Turning Diameter"!!!

Maybe the large tires in small fender wells dictates the lousy turn radius.

That probably has a lot to do with it. Though it could be a safety feature - as you're running down the drag strip, you don't want the front wheels to overcorrect. And most owners aren't going to do u-turns or take the car to the local Home Depot or Costco, so you don't need much or a turning radius for parking.

Haha! Take a look at the order sheet! $1 options? Then look at the base MSRP at $86,090!!!
