They worried about 16 lbs in the wheels, and the retractable headlights on the 3rd gen are near 30 lbs, a foot or two further forward . . .
Uncle Tony said the opposite about weight on the roof and weight transfer.
That's a little embarassing, but at least one of the commentors mentioned that the Demon isn't meant to be raced in "real world" conditions by amateurs.

Jay has driven some truly fast cars. So you know for it to make him giggle like that, it has to be fun!

I do like how they put some nice engineering into the a/c cooling system. "We want to be Banned and go faster than 150" hehehehe.
I don't understand why E85 would make so much pressure on the heads. Is it because the molecules are less dense than racing fuel?
I wonder what it would take and what it would cost to replace any of the Chip Modules that control the Digital Screen Readout.
I sure would like to have one of these

E85 can have varying octane ratings (like premium), but is usually 105, give or take.
The sensor tells the engine what the percentage of alcohol in the tank is (not new tech at all...all flexfuel vehicles have this sensor). With more alcohol, more octane, then more timing and more boost = more horsepower. More timing and more boost also means more cylinder pressure.

I sure would like to have one of these I think you could have as much fun for less money by swapping the new Hurricane 6 into a V6 Challenger, and dialing up the boost. May have to replace the diff every few days.  |
