Mannnnn dodge can kiss the area below the back of my belt 😂
That’s just wild the car can’t go over 149mph when they advertised a 151 trap speed for the car. Pretty much this car will never run the time they said it will run on the drag strip without being modded
Demon 170, that's its old name. Its new name is demon 149.
😂😂😂
Demon170 was it’s name then it became the Markup170 and now it changed to Demon149. Pretty dope.
Classic
@@voodoodiecast 🤣🤣
i would love one of these great cars but cant afford the insurance and repair cost later on. oh well back to watching car content.
Hahaha we would all like one!
A hellcat is plenty of power :D
I’ve been wanting the 170 since I saw it in Vegas a 11 months ago. But couldn’t find one dealership out of 1020 that didn’t want a 100k to 300k over . Now I find out the 170 only goes 149 that any scat pack could smoke on the street 😮. So my thought is once you finally achieve your goal on the dragstrip what then now you have to modify the car to go faster and lose your warranty I think we all got bamboozled when the car was supposed to go to 215 mph . I shouldn’t have passed up on my jailbreak. Now you can’t even find one of those ,got screwed all the way around. Just my opinion.
I ❤ my Red Eye
I would never plan on trading her in.
Boom 🔥
In my opinion, the red-eye is overall better buy
That’s an expensive vehicle to have such a limitation. I would prefer the hellcat red eye.
Yep 💯
Seriously, this is what bothers you about the car. It's an amazing car. It was not intended for stuff like the Texas Mile. It's a drag car.
This is apparently the new big topic for all the You Tubers . LOL
It's absolutely worth every penny. Who the hell needs to go 200 miles an hour, I prefer the bottom end power. Not top speed.
I will. agree, if Dodge did put that 215 number out there. Then maybe it needs some explaining, but I never cared at all about top. speed when I purchased mine.
Totally fair! I think what bothers us is the published top speed of 215 and no disclaimers about governance. More transparency would be nice. Otherwise, a badass car!
@@GuysTalkingCars
Agree, maybe an explination would help. Honestly , I never even seen a top speed release about the car, or cared. I just saw all the other claims they made. And they are all pretty bang on. I just find it funny, that anyone would even buy this to do 200 plus miles an hour. I would buy a redeye like others have said. Or maybe in the future, people will mod this car and then do the high speed runs. Could be the 215 was a marketing release then the lawyers pulled back on it because of tires and other modifications that were done to the car by Dodge. It was modified alot because of reliably issues which ended up in a late release.
So I guess by your logic if you pay of a pound of oranges and only get 1/2 pound it’s all good?
There is no disclaimer for safety.
But if you really need to know, there is no contest between the cars mentioned here. The money says one will hook and the other won’t. If you want to spin, you won’t…
And I don’t know why…
The 149 mph speed limit is for drag racing. Per NHRA rules any car running less than 9.0 sec needs a roll cage, HANS device, racing harnesses, and fire suppression. Remember the 8.95 they ran to be the quickest production car in the 1/4 mile? Yeah, you do that and you will be kicked out and possibly banned from every NHRA track in the US.
I want the original Dodge demon
Isn’t that from the 60s or 70s?
@@2toofulnah he means the 2018 original one same one i want
A great detailed review that all should find informative.
Tim Kuniskis Big Scam. Demon170 Buyers Got Hosed!
Sustained runs at high speed are not good for any car. Quarter mile runs the 170s can be consistent. That power running for extended time someone can do and will eventually, Obviously has enough power to do it, just not on Dodges dime. All speeds for every challenger and charger are available and easy to find, so no crying
Good comment !
I blame Stellantis, not Dodge. They need to break away.
I have a 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T. Built in December of 2020, before Stellantis took the reigns. Why anyone would even buy these models in 2022-23, is beyond me. They are finished as a automaker with electrification and the cars being discontinued.
It’s sad. They have to many V8’s and could have kept one. I don’t like there roadmap at all for the future.
I think people are over reacting. just remove the limiter and hit the tx mile
Damn so that means If my car was stock and didn’t have the speed limiter off I could wait and catch a demon 170
I go 180 normally
😂
So all of us with vehicles that top out at 155 mph can catch a demon 170 and gap it on the Texas miles? Now I can pull up in my 04 m45 Infiniti with a since of pride.😂
Lol 😂 exactly
It’ll take you forever or catch up . The 170 wasn’t designed for top speed runs . It has the power to easily break 200 though .
Exactly why I wouldn't buy these cars now unless I was a collector. If your chasing power your gonna spend for it, I have 2014-2015 R/T Plus Anniversary edition, I bought for 28k with 9000 miles on it in 2016 it has 85000 miles on it now. I won't be buying new Mopar anytime soon, I might only update some stuff like Cold Intake and Muffler etc. Some light adds to keep it up to date.
Perfect ride!
Lol these cars are not collectors items. 😂
How much more car do you need over the r/t 5.7 hemi or the scat pac.
Yep - I have an RT and it’s perfect
@@GuysTalkingCars I have a 2023 r/t shaker. Triple black. And I love it
well i am very happy with my one of only 7 1999 Saleen Bullet
This car is set up for quarter mile racing and that's it .
Yep
Lethal performance just ordered a warrantied Whipple kit from Ford for their 2024 Mustang GT. With headers and pump gas it put down 807rwhp. 920 at the crank. That's more than the 170 makes on pump gas. It was only using 11- 12psi which is half what the demon 170 uses to make the same power. They're expecting to get high 8's with the full interior and a drag pack with slicks. The coyote is a monster for boost. The Demon 170 is way too much money
That’s a badass set up!!!
Actually I'm not stunned in the least. All cars are only going to be good at some things not everything it doesn't matter what make or model it is. My Chevy Silverado for example it's great for off-roading and light towing I wouldn't take a 3/4 ton one ton truck off-roading there's a lot of people doing that they're dumb as rocks it wasn't designed for that it was desiring to pull heavier loads medium duty truck
Good points
stock helle-phant mopar engine is 29k and its 1200 hp lol at a 170 a 300s or a rt goes faster lol not on pickup but once it hits 149 what half city block lol
Ya but you already knew that before.
I think the car is bad azz, but never, ever would I consider paying over MSRP for any vehicle. Why? These cars are not going up in value to just flip and make money. If you truly love the car, great. As an investment, it stinks. So, so many better investments with true classics.
Agreed!
I made the original video 4 months ago. They lied to us. I own one and am not as nice as Racer X. Those are my emails BTW
Got you!! Thank you - yes I think folks are generally too nice!!! We will tag your our video 🙏🏻
Watched your video and felt your pain
@@GuysTalkingCars thanks, keep up the good videos. I thought the same thing about that no BS...sounded like full of BS to me
@@LastCallDemon170 thank you - we were just talking about your video (which we found after Racer X video) and your points are 100% valid. First, I feel like Dodge is in some hot water on this. Next, what’s it gonna do to Demon 170 values? And finally, seems obvious that a Red Eye is clearly the better choice for a mopar !
Awesome. Thank you for your video. And thanks for the comments
A speed limiter is nothing new. Chevy and Pontiac put them on their cars in the 90’s which had S rated tires. I hit that limiter many times (about 90 mph) and didn’t care because the contest was already over.
Yep 👍🏼
It's a trend once one CZcams channel ots a rolling ball.
Sure people wanna talk - I mean, our channel literally has “talking cars” in the name lol
Red eye is better of the two.
Agreed
Everyone chased the 1025 crank HP. So people stop crying. Enjoy it.my 2018 demon 165 max. My old red eye did 210. Enjoy what you got.
Well said
But once you install the original 2018 Demon ECU/PAM from the crate, the 168 mph speed limiter is disabled and the car can reach speeds of at least 211 mph. Dodge has made no mention of any way to disable the speed limiter in the Demon 170 however, so you’re stuck with a 149 mph top speed
Still talking about this eh? Old news now and you all should know these cars are straight line drag cars not top speed runners gezze.
I suppose yep - with lawsuits threatening it’s back in the news cycle
I'm mad lol my wife Honda is faster if this it true . No I said faster not as quick. Come on dodge way to trick everyone
😂😂😂
Does what it was designed for, get over it.
True
So, not only did Demon 170 owners pay more than double what the car is worth, and some paid even more, but you also overpaid for a 149mph vehicle, lol. The Redeye and others are faster lol. And cost a lot less lol.
Good point lol
what a bunch of cry babies my 1971 Challenger big block RT would hit 155 mph with only 390 hp no complaints these guy should stick to video games
Lol 😂
I like Chevy more than Dodge and mustangs
Only fools bought into Dodge’s lies! Tesla Plaid eats it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Hahaha
Lol
1st 35 seconds wasted
Says who ?
Another useless comment. SMH
