Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present this single owner limited
production (#2,068 of 3,300 cars built in total) 2018 Dodge
Challenger SRT Demon 6.2L Supercharged Hemi V8 with over 800HP in
striking 'Maximum Steel' (reportedly 1 of only 32 built in this
color) amp; loaded with factory options and boasting only some 8K
original miles!Dodge reintroduced the Challenger in 2008 as part of
the industrys retro-inspired muscle-car renaissance. Drawing
largely from the 1970 Challenger R/T, the new Challenger had a
wide, menacing stance and was available in a variety of colors and
with a selection of powerful engines, highlighted by the 425 hp
SRT8. The Challenger became an instant hit for MOPAR fans who had
been waiting years for such a release.The Challenger received a
face-lift in 2015, with the high-performance SRT8 replaced by the
SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. The Hellcat put out an astonishing 707 hp,
capable of rocketing to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds and hitting a
top speed of 199 mph. However, the Hellcat was just the beginning
of Dodges foray in the contemporary horsepower wars.In April 2017,
at the New York Auto Show, Dodge debuted the limited production
Challenger SRT Demon. Essentially a street-legal drag car, the
Demon was powered by 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 which puts out
an incredible 840 horsepower and 717 foot-pounds of torque. The
engine is backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission that can
be shifted via steering-mounted paddles. The Demon is capable of
screaming past 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds and can destroy the
quarter mile in 9.14 seconds at 152 mph and is a limited production
wide-body and extreme (drag race level) performance variant of the
already high-performance Challenger SRT Hellcat. The Demon uses an
all-new 6.2-liter V8 engine equipped with a 2.7-liter supercharger,
which is rated at 808 hp with 91 octane gasoline and 840 hp with
100 octane fuel or higher (both outputs are with the red key fob
supplied with the car). Torque stands at 770 lb #8901;ft on 100
octane fuel. The car weighs 215 lb (98 kg) less than the Hellcat,
the total being 4,254 lb (1,930 kg). The SRT Demon uses a set of
road tires by Nitto Tire, called the NT05R. The tires are the
315/40R18 variations at both front and rear. The tires are targeted
for the drag strip, but have enough tread pattern to make them
legal for the road. This tire, although an NT05R consumer tire, is
a variation built specifically to withstand the power output of the
Demon. This makes the Challenger SRT Demon the first production car
to contain a set of drag radial road tires. The SRT Demon contains
a system that is used specifically for drag racing called
transbrake, which is a mechanism that puts the transmission in 1st
gear and the reverse gear simultaneously, holding the Demon
stationary. This is used along with the car's torque converter to
build up hydraulic pressure before launch.The SRT Demon accelerates
from 030 mph in 1.0 second, 060 mph in 2.3 seconds, 0100 mph in 5.1
seconds, a top speed of 168 mph (factory limited), and the quarter
mile (400 m) in only 9.65 seconds at 140.09 mph. This makes the
Demon the fastest non-electric production car to reach 0-60 mph and
to complete a straight-line quarter mile at its time of
announcement. The SRT Demon is also capable of accelerating at 1.8
G's of force at launch, making this the hardest launching
production car. The boost pressure of the supercharger can be
increased to 14.5 psi and redline up to 6,500 rpm. With this
extreme power, and hard acceleration, the SRT Demon is the first
production car to perform a wheelie. With the control module from
the "Demon Crate" and high-speed tires, the Demon has attained a
top speed of over 200 mph (320 km/h) in test runs. Because of the
lack of an NHRA certified roll cage, which is required if the
quarter-mile time is under 10 seconds, the NHRA banned the SRT
Demon from competition.Like the SRT Hellcat, it comes with both red
and black key fobs, with the black fob limiting the power output to
500 hp. With the red key and the use of 100+ octane gasoline, the
Demon can utilize its full power potential. Only 3,300 cars were
made, with production beginning in the summer of 2017 and market
introduction happening in the fall of 2017.The interior of the SRT
Demon is the same as all other Challenger trims, but with changes
that differentiate it to the other trims. The Demon only includes a
front driver's seat as standard, and no other seats front or rear
in the vehicle. However, the front passenger's seat, as well as a
rear bench seat, can both be added back as options for one dollar
each. To replace the rear seats, Dodge included rear roll bars, and
has a 4-point harness installed on it for the driver seat. The
dashboard display and the seats now have the Demon logo on them,
and includes a performance display on it, as well as on the center
console touch screen. The following list below is a breakdown of
how Dodge engineers reduced the curb weight of the 2018 Challenger
SRT Demon to 4,255 lb over the 4,469 lb curb weight of the SRT
Hellcat, a difference of 216 lb. Removed front passenger seat and
passenger seatbelt ( #8722;58 lb decrease; seats available at a
dollar) Removed rear bench seat, seatbelts, restraints, and front
and rear floor mats ( #8722;55 lb decrease) Removed 16 Harman
Kardon audio speakers, factory subwoofer, amplifier, and all
electrical wiring ( #8722;24 lb decrease) Removed rear trunk deck
lid cover trim, trunk carpeting, and spare tire cover ( #8722;20 lb
decrease) Used smaller, hollower front and rear sway bars (
#8722;19 lb decrease) Removed mastic, body deadeners, insulators,
and foam ( #8722;18 lb decrease) Used lightweight, all-aluminum
four-piston front and rear brake calipers and 360 mm (14 in) front
and rear two-piece brake rotors ( #8722;16 lb ( #8722;7 kg)
decrease) Installed lightweight aluminum front and rear alloy
wheels and open-ended front and rear wheel lug nuts ( #8722;16 lb
decrease) Replaced power-tilting and telescoping steering column
with manually-tilting and telescoping steering column ( #8722;4 lb
decrease) Removed front and rear ParkSense parking sensors and
ParkSense front and rear park sensor module ( #8722;2 lb
