These days they could advertise the 2018 Toyota Serial Killer GT and nobody would bat an eye.

Demon was discontinued because a bunch of religious people complained about the nameplate and logo


Wow,what a world.
Those same people probably didn't like the Dart swinger.
They were also the same people  protesting KISS music! (Knights In Satins Service) LOL!!!!!!!


I take it they did not take too kindly to the Lamborghini Diablo (Devil!) either then!
I'd assume that not many people know what Diablo means being that it's Italian.

I dunno know how i feel about it aesthethically. The hood with the wide scoop and fender flares look like what some kid would put together with ebay aftermarket parts.

Here is how it was lightened up,  the total reduction number is 232 pounds. :2thumbs:

First, the Challenger Demon will have a unique steering column assembly which is four pounds lighter than the one in the Hellcat. SRT also removed the parking sensor system, to trim another two pounds.

Changes to the braking system including smaller rotors (from 390mm to 360mm) and calipers (6 pistons to 4) cut 16 pounds, the new 18″ wheels cut 16 pounds, a removal of some sound insulation and other "NVH" components cuts 18 pounds, lightweight suspension components cut 19 pounds, the removal of the spare tire/trunk materials cuts another 20 pounds and a scaled down audio system cuts 24 pounds.

Finally, the biggest weight cuts in the Challenger SRT Demon comes in the way of the seats – or the lack there of. The Demon doesn't come from the factory with a rear seat (cutting 55 pounds) or a passenger seat  :eek2: (cutting 58 pounds).  That's the biggest factor in the 232-pound diet: 113 pounds of seats.

Just out of curiosity where did this info come from?

WOW.

I can understand no backseat but not having a passenger seat is garbage.

I agree, that's what alot of my fox Mustang friends used to do at the track they would pull the passenger seat out and lay it on the ground ! :lol:

They took a page from Porsche's playbook by removing parts of the car and then charging you more for it.

I would find it hilarious if they make the seats an optional extra, and you have to may more money to get them back.   :smilielol:

If they pull it off though, it is an absolutely brilliant business model. So insanely stupid that it's genius.

Ford did the same thing with the Boss 302 (latest edition) and Chevy did it also with the Z28

Weird about no passenger seat.. i wonder why they didnt then, remove the passenger sun visor, interior controls and hvac parts  :lol:

i also wonder if it will still have 2 cup holders up front  :smilielol:

If youre buying an 800 hp car, youre not getting it to cruise around and trying to cop a feel using the "short stop" move. Its not supposed to be practical.

I disagree. I would love to have a Hellcat/Demon just to cruise around in and on occasion WOT. If it was me I would install a passenger seat, weight be dammed.

I heard a passenger seat may be an option.
