  • that might be the most addictive throttle pedal I have ever experienced on.

  • As you'd expect from a car that's limited to 168 miles per hour out on the road, the demon does feel pretty fast.

  • Supercar fast, hyper car fast.

  • I don't know.

  • You know this isn't some stripped down sports car.

  • This is a big, comfy cruiser to metric tons of big comfy cruiser.

  • To be precise, there's no hybrid energy recovery gizmos.

  • It's just a big motor on.

  • There's no supercar spec double clutch gearbox.

  • It's just a big automatic.

  • To be honest, it's kind of just a Dodge.

  • And I gotta say, I've given quite a few Dodgers over the years and they're not my favorite.

  • The interior is a very plastic cheap feeling.

  • While it's no supercar on the inside, it doesn't corner like one, either.

  • I tried to go around this corner in the demon as fast as you go around this corner of the lot Ferrari when you wouldn't go around that corner on a road like this demon, just would not see which way the car went, pains me to say, but so there you go.

  • Question, answer for $84,995.

  • You can't buy a car that'll outrun anything else on the planet.

  • However, for $84,996 you might just be able to, because when you buy a demon, Dodge will also give you the option to spend $1 more on a creative stuff.

  • You get tools, skinny front tires, high flow air filter a new E.

  • See you loads of cool stop because Dodge didn't build the demon to go quick on a winding Alpine pass or a tight street circuit.

  • No, no.

  • The demon was made to do one thing to tear up the drag strip 1/4 mile at a time.

  • Bolt all those great parts on feed it some decent fuel, and it will give you 840 horsepower.

  • This is the most powerful V eight production car in history, Dodge says.

  • This car will run the standing quarter mile in 9.65 seconds, which, if you know your drag racing, you'll know is really, really fast.

  • But if you don't know your drag racing, here's how it works.

  • First you need to warn the tithe called line lock brakes, front wheels so you could spin up the rears.

  • They're done.

  • And once you've warmed the tyres, you're ready to go.

  • Well, almost.

  • Okay, so to launch this thing is pretty easy.

  • Left foot on the brake.

  • Hold in both these paddles.

  • Add some revs.

  • Release one paddle foot off the brake.

  • Released the other paddle as you bury the throttle.

  • See?

  • Easy.

  • That is incredible.

  • That will get old ever.

  • You literally could not fall off a cliff faster than that.

  • Oh, how I'm doing that again.

  • And you can.

  • Because unlike most cars with launch control, where you do a couple of full bore starts and then it has to go lie down for a bit and making the demon Dodge had one do over 5000 launches without a single glitch.

  • Oh, that is addictive.

  • Okay, now that I'm warmed up, how about a little race, huh?

  • That is a Lamborghini aventador four wheel drive, V 12 engine, four times the price of a demon.

  • Let's do this.

  • That is a big American balls, baby.

  • Big fat American ice cubes.

  • Is that a Lamborghini?

  • Wait back there.

  • I think it is when you hook everything up.

  • Right?

  • You know how fast this car does?

  • 0 to 62.3 seconds.

  • This is the fastest accelerating road car in history.

  • So there you go.

  • If you're the kind of person who wants to live life 1/4 mile at a time, you don't want a couple 100 grand supercar.

  • You want a demon?
