Once the autostart is started by the guy running the tree, you can leave and the time will be the same no matter if you get a perfect reaction, leave early, or sit there for 30 seconds after the light turns green. If you get a timeslip with a time, it counts. Reaction times have zero effect on ET.

I have zero experience with Dodge but perhaps this is a tranny issue? Is there some delay when leaving the transmission in auto mode? I would believe some traction issues on the Demon could cause a problem as well. But there are several people claming the Demon gets beat this way and that it is a disappointment.

And yes, mods do in fact require tuning on a car. Now, does that apply to all mods? Absolutely not. However, lets see you bolt in a cam and tell me it doesn't need any tuning at all... I'll wait...

The demon isn’t running anywhere near as fast as dodge claims for one.
Also on regular 93 it’s a 130-132 mph car. I just seen one at the track. Guy was clueless and running 11.5@132. Most guys are getting 10.1 to 10.4 out of them. I think one person claims to have got somewhere in the 9.8s. And most suspect mods. Nobody can even get in the 9s at all. Dodge claims it will run 9.69. At this point most in the know are calling bs. It’s a low ten second car best case scenario with race fuel map |

Actually, I never specified ANYTHING. I simply replied to your comment. Truth is, there are a lot of items that will and do require dyno tuning. And I'm not the only one who's said as much, so clearly I know nothing about this...
Because most people driving a Demon aren't driving it around on racing fuel all the time is why. More to the point, most people aren't driving them around anyways... so it's kind of a moot point...

I'm suspicious of the 9.8X claim as well, unless it was in mine shaft air and a track that could pull your shoes off. |

The guitarmeggedon dude claims he beat 2 Demons in his 630 RWHP ZL1 with A10 trans which has only a tune and intake. I call BS on that because the M6 ZL1 guys are pullied with LTs and tune and they're making that number. So no way in Hell is a auto trans ZL1 with just a tune and intake getting those numbers. Anyway, on his video some people started making claims that the Demon falls on it's face after 135 MPH and that it is tuned that way from the factory. I don't know any of this to be true as it has never come up in discussions on the main HC forum I'm on. I think this kid's videos are staged or he has way more mods than he is admitting and that he is just trying to make himself look good to his fanboys. And I think the bullshit about the Demon being tuned that way makes no sense unless Dodge put a speed limiter on it. However seeing as how the Demons in this kid's videos are all getting walked from like 60 MPH I find none of this believable. Second, some douchebag made a YT video claiming that he is very disappointed in his Demon because of the guitarmeggedon dude's video. He goes on a 10+ minute rant about how the Demon simply is a huge letdown and it can't beat anything out there. Meanwhile, this moron is basing all of his info on those two videos instead of actually driving his Demon and seeing for himself. According to him it was windy in the area he lives in and he couldn't drive his car since he got it because of the wind... That's about all the info I have. Like I said, none of these issues have been mentioned on the HC pages or the Demon subforums on the HC forums. People have been taking these to the tracks and they're in the 9s and 10s trapping over 130 MPH. So I'm not sure how these idiotic rumors are being born but I haven't seen any evidence that this is legit. |

That was Shaffe that specified "dyno tuning"...lol!! Simple mixup... Without race fuel it is still on the 808 HP tune. Which, knowing Dodge and what they did with the HC, should equate to around 750 RWHP. Now maybe Dodge did tune it down at higher RPMs and speeds while on the standard 93 octane tune so as to not blow anything up. 750 RWHP (reliably and with full warranty) is a lot to ask out of a 93 octane tuned vehicle. It is certainly pushing the limits. But even without the race fuel ECU and tune I would think that it has enough HP to NOT get walked by a 630 RWHP ZL1. That just makes no sense. Plus, in all of these videos, why would any of these clowns show up specifically to race someone without the race ECU and gas in it? I mean, these races were all setup. So the Demon owners had plenty of time to load up the race tune and get some race gas in it. |

Who can afford to drive around the streets with race fuel in all the time? How it runs on the street with 93 is more realistic IMO. |
