Four reasons why people to hate the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon,and why the hate makes no sense.

I’m sure most of you have heard about this remarkable beast. The world’s quickest quarter mile production car,the world’s most powerful production V8,the world’s second quickest zero-to-sixty time in a production car,the quickest production muscle car,the first production car to run drag radials stock,the first production car to successfully pop a wheelie,the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. This demon in wolf’s clothing is getting a fair amount of hate on the internet. Almost more than the infamous Fiat Multipla. To come thinking about it,I actually think it gets more hate than the Multipla. But anyway,I’ve came here to share five reasons why people on the internet need to stop hating on the Demon. It’s just unneeded.

Reason one: Looks the same as the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

Hellcat.

Demon.

Yeah,I’m not gonna lie,the new Demon looks like a Hellcat. Better yet,a Hellcat with a LibertyWalk kit on it. But I don’t think FCA is going to waste time developing a brand new vehicle design on a production dragster. Hell,re-badge the Hellcat. I don’t care. It still goes fast.

Reason two: Too heavy.

Yes,it weighs 4,234 pounds. But who really gives two-sh!ts? It gets to sixty miles per hour from a stand-still in 2.3 seconds. It’s a dragster and no one is trying to run laps around the ‘Ring. This is just a lost cause. Even if it weighed a thousand pounds less,it wouldn’t make that much of a difference. Maybe 2.2 or 2.1 seconds.

Reason three: It’s a “one trick pony”.

This reason here just makes me laugh my @$$ off. When I’m talking about the Demon,someone always complains that it only good at one thing,running quarter miles. And they are correct,and that’s exactly why it was built. It wasn’t built to run ‘Ring times. It wasn’t built to be a grand tourer. It wasn’t built to go against the leaders like Porsche,Lamborghini,BMW,Audi,Mercedes-Benz,etc. It was built for one reason,and one reason only. For raw power,and straight lines. They didn’t build it for time attack geeks. If you can’t accept that,you shouldn’t be talking crap about the car.

Reason four: Crappy handling.

Like I said before,not built for GT1 and WRC sh!t. I’m surprised that people actually complain about a dragster’s handling. I can see people complaining about the Hellcat’s handling,though. The Hellcat was dreadful.

Conclusion: C’mon,guys. The great people at FCA designed and built this beast to rule the strip,not the Laguna Seca. You want an FCA track monster,get an ACR.
