Special edition Redeye will have more power than the demon

[1971demon]

My take on no hype means no real changes, not necessarily bad ones. Who knows.

simply put....nothing new here...move along folks...nothing to see here...But it aint over...the blue oval and bowtie boys have either closed the gap..or maybe even raised the bar...wake me up in 2021...when the party starts again...just a thought

Don't see any mention of higher hp than the Demon.

Competition might be.... ...fierce....?

Man Oh Man...

"multiple choice horsepower-inspired questions"

SO... I got a 1 in 797 chance of picking the right answer.

Dreams can come true..

I couldn't even finish the article , much less the question per week babble yatta, yatta, yatta. Just make it a Goddam raffle you enter at the local dealership or online. With the hoops you gotta jump through and schedule you gotta follow they'll have 5 people left with interest at the end of the drawing so they'll all win.

Well it’s a shame, but looks like I’ll have to get kids involved to enter this social media contest. But worth it for a high horse unicorn

You'll probably find greater satisfaction by hanging yourself with your belt and rubbing one out.

This whole topic is pathetic. Widebody Charger and Daytona that's what you get for 2020. Maybe a new ACR concept at SEMA. Maybe. But, that's a stretch even for me.

It's probably a new Drag Pak car.

Or maybe the 20th anniversary car with some appearance items. Or just a new body style Challenger with a Hellephant installed.
I keep hoping for more but since the Demon power train that was then put into the Redeye cars I'm not seeing anything to entice me to trade my car for something new. HP is not my problem, so I'm not giving my car away just for 100 hp.

It could be literally anything production-ready or nothing that will ever be built. It is just another (semi-effective) marketing ploy. I enjoy a cool car as much as anyone, but if it isn't attainable I stop caring pretty quick.

And none of us are hurting for more power, not even close. Maintaining perspective is key.

You mean, Maintaining perspective is RED key., RIGHT???

So where does it say these 5 have more horsepower than the Demon? This article says zero about the car actually...

update: Ok I found this....which says 797 HP...not sure what's special about these particular cars...except that they would be free of course!

If you watch the video you'll see the reindeer Redeyes on the fenders. That's unique. Not sure what else would be.
Goldberg said they would have 15 hp more than a Demon in the podcast that is linked in this thread. So far that appears to be untrue.

We all own cars that have over 700 hp. It has permanently changed my perspective. I gave a C8 serious thought for about a month. But... 495 hp? Nah. I won't spend the money for a C8 Z06 when it comes out. The GT500 is interesting but it makes me reconsider so many of the arguments about our car. If it sets good lap times and weighs 4200 lbs and a BMW M5 sets good lap times and weighs the same as our cars all we need is a little aftermarket support and we'd be a terror on road courses.
I'm getting all worked up now.

If 700+ feels boring, just put it in 500hp mode for a few days, suffer, and then back into 700hp mode when you cannot take it anymore. It is like a brand new car! My other cars have 400-650hp (each with a character all their own) and none of them feel quite as over the top silly as the HC.

I hope SEMA brings positive news.

It's killing me to say this but I agree with you.

I’m going to sema. I’ll check out the dodge booth

Yack, yack, yack. Blowing pot smoke up greart grand's ass. She doesn't even grow pot , she snuffed

 

[BULL]

I might be going for Tuesday only....

If I do, and they don't reveal right away, I'll have a fit.

My guess is detuned Hellephant
