    Clearly created for that minute market that has more money than they know what to do with, the rest of us can purchase something drag strip ready and as fast for a fraction of the cost. What's with these colored portions on front spoilers (in this case yellow)?

    Those are banana peels, when new they are on the Challengers & I think Chargers too. Most people take them off .

    Its for shipping protection in case is takes a nose dive off a ramp. I left mine on, glad I did, it has scrubbed a curb before, with no damage to the fairing. I am more careful of what I pull up to now.

    Mine goes fully across.

    Racer X has been doing data pulls on his new Demon to determine the top speed. Initially, at an airport runway, his car hit the bypass and laid over at 135 mph. Boost went from 20psi to 7psi. Although Dodge purposely limits the top speed of the Demon due to its drag tires, Racer X thinks that it should be higher. To prove it, he took the car to Mexico and hit 152 mph.

    I took my Demon 170 to a Private Runway! How Fast is it REALLY? NOT 149 - YouTube

    I skipped through the first half of the video where he talks about himself. That thing is a fail, what good is 1000 HP if it's neutered? I can do 135 with my 2.7 V6.
    My Scat Pack would blow him away too, with 1/2 the HP. The Scat is know to do 174 on the Autobahn.

    It is all about usable power. Where can you go 174 mph in the U.S.?

    I knew about the 150 MPH limit which is ridiculous, but now it can't even get to that point, so a waste of HP no matter how big a Mopar fan you are.

    In that airport I guess?

    Ford will snitch on speeders, not just the Ford driver, but take pictures of surrounding cars plates that are speeding. WTF?
