- And next year they might come out with something else even more tempting. Trust me, you'll end up blowing through a lot of cash constantly hunting for the latest and greatest. This one only has 10 more HP than the Redeye you have on order already!!
But - If you're an avid drag racer, and I mean the type of guy that likes going to the track and running the car almost every weekend...then the SS might be the better choice for you. Especially if outfitted similar to Demon....trans brake, race fuel option etc.
If you only take an occasional run down a track once or twice a season just for fun there's no way I'd buy a car designed and specifically geared towards drag racing just for bragging rights. That's an expensive compromise.....Its not going to handle as well as a RE on the streets, and I'd bet the suspension will be soft for everyday street driving....

3 Demon's from that Vannoy collection just went over 125k and they were technically "used"
No thanks. I'll take a S/S and hopefully some power dollars with it. You can get the skinny front wheels to match the Holeshot ones or just go aftermarket. And a tune on e85 should net low 9's and daily driver comfort for under 100k (hopefully a lot under)

It’s too bad they didn’t go with that new Redeye Charger hood. That thing hits it out of the park! I’ve been waiting on the Redeye Hippo hood to do it for me and it hasn’t. Still not liking that. So the SS has the 10hp increase because the shift points have been raised. Maybe In the process they also addressed the shifting issues that the Redeye has experienced. Also maybe... that could be a factory calibration that could be dealer flashed into a current model Redeye and fix that problem. 🤔

I am working on this from all angles. But there are some key points that now make this more of a possibility. #1 the S/S is a 2020 RedEye same as mine so all emissions and safety aspects will still apply. #2 the drag focused settings in the drive mode screen are still called TRACK. The S/S uses the 3.09 gear and my car is a factory 3.09 car. Wow, I think this might be a possibility. To put a 2018 Demon PCM/TCM calibration along with the dirve modes in a RedEye is not logical. But to put all that from a S/S into a same year RedEye seems do-able.
Jim Wilder said they could never do a one off calibration for my car. But now this. HHMMmmmmmmm.
