Dodge Demon Records You May Not Have Known

The iconic Dodge Challenger SRT Demon continues to be impressive even years after it was inducted into the hall of fame for muscle cars.

It became the most potent road-going V8 ever fitted in a production automobile right away with 840 horsepower available.

There are a couple Dodge Demon records, though, that you might not be aware of.

[{"selector":"#anim-68ce8cf4-ad18-4fa6-be0b-51df621ba895","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.41936%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-542df3fd-e381-40fd-a977-623ebe78eac2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37427ba5-b074-466b-9d47-68304c3a86c6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c19eb3b-1c5f-4a5f-8720-240bcd622e19 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

What is record-breaking about the Dodge Demon’s hood scoop?

[{"selector":"#anim-25082c35-cd98-4aa1-a0cb-d44605f8e6e7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.851562244244918%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee322d39-ed79-4aad-ae69-ed90283ed3f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.48388%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4cf7ab93-9543-4b05-abf5-1adb238c6b24","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b359519-ebbe-4184-bd37-8492708a11ce","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

At the time of manufacturing, the hood scoop on the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was the biggest hood scoop ever installed on a vehicle.

[{"selector":"#anim-bf03d2af-4643-4273-a04c-c185ded56e44 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f6dd4810-dbdb-4037-a05f-fe6562ae9667","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.79935%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-223b5acd-c7be-4e44-aefa-8fc758580b83","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1ced7fed-d913-4dd4-87c0-d4aa2e83699c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Dodge needed a way to ventilate the monstrosity, so in addition to its "power chiller," the Demon had a ram-air intake and a huge "air grabber" scoop.

[{"selector":"#anim-eac99b51-b1b1-408f-b9d3-a66e4e250134 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.173562621735826%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dbb9fd34-ecf6-43e6-8c33-04bb5c3db904","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.58442%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9bea45a-087f-4222-9cf9-595ea22d90b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe3f70c5-d106-41b4-a777-4c10ab7afa34","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But there are problems with the hood. The open hood is vulnerable to warpage and paint problems, claims Road & Track.

[{"selector":"#anim-c29979b3-977b-473b-9bf1-1c25b4ec0206 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4dec9006-af0d-42cd-9c89-ed495d0a83de","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.38462%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a51f9f6-9843-499a-95c7-1943d39ffdae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8fc57275-93fa-4a5e-a506-29a4da553661","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In fact, the record-breaking hood is so flawed that the owners are suing for compensation.

[{"selector":"#anim-fdced816-4b27-42d2-9fd4-1b7623d93ddf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.8337101513764065%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eef6a54b-ed49-4d0e-84d8-cb66dc71b96a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.53399%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af82aea6-071d-406c-9140-5ffd8000ccb9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df05c720-d625-4b05-8392-77943a887c72","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

How many Dodge Demons are left?

Most of the 3,300 original Dodge Demon record-breakers still exist. Except for the occasional auction or resale, they are entirely reserved.

[{"selector":"#anim-16bc9bb7-32bb-4b39-81f5-37d7a528fc3e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.84735001710983%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15a1f439-b96c-4c74-ad1c-f3423567f879","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.38462%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-32c24f28-4c06-4eb1-8838-7422c049c307","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-415385b3-3f8b-4981-975a-cc3277682d57","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to Car & Driver, buyers could have purchased a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon for as little as $86,390.

[{"selector":"#anim-d3d17a51-c68c-4b76-8ed2-7825d42010a1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ff5057c-5049-4370-8c71-d7a3a4533fbf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.70512%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07cda036-2d0f-4782-a060-c2e787bace46","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-009a7609-17ca-4e64-9b74-09bd9c43992f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But because the quantity sold so quickly, waiting and more than $100,000 will probably be needed to get a Demon.
