The Dodge Demon | PKA

look I love it you know what I think looks good I think they're doing an amazing job with Corvettes and and maybe it's just me maybe you know when you hit your mid forties you become mandated too likely yeah let me lay out my point let it out my point plead guilty all right so the the Corvette like I look at one from like 10 years ago I'm like that thing looks amazing then I see a more recent one and that thing looks more amazing and they keep passing it and every iteration is better than the one before and they look like super cars and I'm like I guess yeah I guess they're super cars but I think they're not but that's ok well what's the super car want it's like the zx-10r drops your one recently it's [ __ ] batshit it's really really really really crazy you would like a super car no I don't think it's exclusive enough I actually don't think it's expensive enough I don't I don't think a Corvette really I don't I'm not nearly as knowledgeable on cars as the three of you I thought super car just meant like real-deal insane performance like super fast super like or is it like availability like it has to be a little more elite not ever yeah so a lot of people like in the comment sections in my videos will debate this the the exact nuance meaning of sports car super car hyper car and where exactly do you draw the lines for me the line is no longer really about performance because you can buy a 700 horsepower Dodge Challenger right on you might eat a horse power Dodge Challenger right now you know and you can buy a 755 horsepower Corvette I mean you can buy insanely fast versions of sort of normal cars and so for me the line is drawn on exclusivity but that's just my personal opinion another horsepower Dodge Challenger is 100 grand I think right it is yeah not a supercar okay a supercar you cuz you here's why because if it's [ __ ] parked right and you sit in it sitting in it parked is roughly identical - sitting in a rental Dodge Challenger that cost $26,000 missing a few seats yeah yeah there's some seats missing it's a different color and it comes with a different experience here's the home with tires like jacks for the dragstrip and stuff and it feels like a pirate's chest full of things that's super it is it's really cool it's a drag racing special car but like here's the difference to me and I'm sorry I'm moving around if you're hearing and I apologize the difference to me is when I've like I've taken a Hellcat to the racetrack right and then I'm taking a 911 turbo is this a match the highest one it's the 700 horsepower one not the 800 horsepower one what's that one if you ain't no the horsepower one is a demon thank you and that's the drag racing one you don't really those don't really go around corners the Hellcat where they now have with the wide body and the wider tires I so I tested that at the racetrack it's got three 15s all around just huge tires huge like like a foot over a foot wide and it's 700 horsepower and the paddle-shift 8-speed I mean the numbers if you put write them down say supercar right but it moves around a lot the hood goes like this when you go real fast the brakes overheat it's kind of unstable at high speed it's a little bouncy and then you do the same track in the new Acura NSX or a Porsche 911 Turbo or gt3 and these cars have a tightness about them it's a finest of engineering it's not you know what I mean it's not the size of these sledgehammers so much as the way the edges of it are beveled perfectly and it's a precision in engineering that there's no amount of horsepower that you can overcome a lack of that and so that to me it's a level of build quality engineering exclusivity which that defines a supercar versus just a very very powerful muscle car or sports car it's funded entirely to find out you because if you did lap times is it the Ariel Atom that I'm thinking of that thing is super high the super amazing lap times right yeah a little more so like probably five six years ago the newest like huge power cars on a short race track and Ariel Atom is a weapon but on a big racetrack I wrote America an ER burg ring or whatever you know you've got a zr1 with 750 horsepower or a Viper ACR with 650 and and full downforce it's the the newer supercars have a top-end you know that is unheard of I mean I just had a week of the glorious week with the McLaren 720's and I mean the fact that just that all it takes is body I mean it's just you you show up with money and here is a [ __ ] missile I mean they say it's making like 700 or power I think it's more like eight it runs a nine second quarter mile out of the box with seats full in it you know special crate of [ __ ] and on top secret is cool yeah the greatest [ __ ] is fun my friend has a demon and has the crate of [ __ ] for sure he pries around people don't know I feel like we haven't laid it out there when you buy the dodge demon it comes with like a pirate chest of things so that you like bring that with you and it has like a floor jack maybe new tires helped me what you get so you get skinny tires for the front right because it comes with four like normal tires right so you it comes normal front tires so you get the skinnies and then it comes with a jack and [ __ ] to change them then yeah there's a box of a box of the stuff I think you then it comes with all anything you need to change a tire like a torque wrench and whatever I think it there's like an air wrist an air filter or air intake delete kit there's a thing I don't know all the parts but like it's a bunch of stuff the hardware to take and take the passenger seat out it's a connect wrench a torque wrench and I guess you aired down the tires I would guess yeah you there down there down the rears yeah so it has a little tire inflator it's it's fun man but I don't know on their website right now and just looking at all the [ __ ] you got to do to like have fun with this and the amount it costs this this is so not me no now I'm gonna [ __ ] and then I'm gonna do all this and then drag it back and forth a couple times ruin my tires then get my little chest back out fix it back up go buy new tires and at home I like to get to a race where I could say early and go camping there so that I could prepare my car but it's street-legal kind of I trow it behind my camper you know here's the difference right this the dodge demon is a hundred grand right and if you put all this crap on it or take some of the crap off whatever you use the tools for you can run a nine second quarter mile with a car that does pass California smog and then has air conditioning and my friend who owns the demon bought it like in Florida and drove it home to San Francisco like it's totally drivable eight on a horsepower car it's a hundred grand right but if you want to do that without needing a crate of stuff you know and having the engine in the middle instead of the front and having a carbon tub instead of a chassis that you can rent from Hertz for $35 a day it costs 300 grand now you're into a McLaren you know what I mean now you've got a carbon tub and now you can run those same lap times by showing up with a [ __ ] espresso in a cigar and saying hello boys line them up and that's it you just show up and you're good to go no that's like no red on triple cost triple if you like going paintball but every time you want you have to like rebuild it and like go and scavenge for a co2 tank like oh and I'll you know on top of that I spent a week with the McLaren and I did everything in it I read I took it for groceries I took it to the office I ran errands all over the city and it wrote it rut when you have um when you take a normal car whether it's a Dodge Hellcat and I don't mean to be unfair to Dodge let's to the credit to Sergio Marchionne who just died unfortunately like yesterday none of us are shareholders you can see it over the [ __ ] you wanna know look he greenlit an 800 horsepower car you know it takes a certain kind of executive I feel like I can say it's a matter of fact 900 knock yourself out boys yeah when you've got cars with the engine in the middle or in the back you have these geometries that are possible with front suspensions that allow the car to ride really well and handle really well you can have longer control arms that come further into the center of the car because there's no engine there right so and you can have big radiators up front that you could put them in any way you want because there's no engine there right so there's different ways of doing things and so when you have whether it's a Porsche or a Ferrari or a McLaren or even a toyota mr2 a mid-engine platform is just able to ride really well in the city where roads are bumpy and then handle really well without beating you up whereas all AMG M SRT cars that are based on normal platforms to make them handle better it's just wider wheels stickier tires stiffer shocks and springs what does make so mid-engine literally means the engine as opposed to being up front would be behind the driver but in front of the rear axle so a Porsche 911 the engine actually partially hangs back over the rear axle past the rear axle so we call that rear engine whereas you know the Ferraris most of the Ferraris the Lamborghinis the engine is in the middle because it's behind the driver but in front of the rear axle okay actually why I'm 0 to 60 times gotten so much better in the land why whatever it is finding uh because of dual clutch transmissions and because of the top-performing cars have all wheel driving all wheel drive and because of turbochargers and very intelligent anti-lag programs that cars can use I mean the the Porsches which are crazy fast on launch the turbo Porsches and the the McLaren's which are all I mean the McLaren is a rear drive vehicle not an all-wheel drive car and we'll still do 0 to 60 in under 3 and it does it with a lot of clutch slipping God feels so good it's [ __ ] fast it probably gives you that feeling of like you know those roller coasters where it just boom you like feel your organs like pushing back a little bit driver that's what launching a Tesla feels like if you ever launched the Tesla 100 d-dad it's like one of those magnetic coasters a Porsche Turbo is like the kind of like that as well is because it shifts there's zero loss in torque when it shifts it has this crazy gearbox the Porsche has a dual clutch gearbox which is a paddle shift gearbox and it's rated to 3000 launches which is I mean you know you it's a 10-second car out of the box and you show up and you could launch it over and over and over and over and over and over and over I once I once launched one of those 60 times in a row just for fun because and I got stopped till I got bored not as a car broke that's crazy the McLaren the zero to 60 is awesome but where it really blows your mind is a hundred and twenty to a hundred and ninety then it's like you know when you because it's boost by gear right so you don't get all like 700 wheel in first and second gear you get it by like fourth so when you do a 3-4 up shift and it pulls harder that is like oh I'm in some next-level [ __ ] you know it's one of those what's the fastest car or what's the fastest you've ever got to in a car and what I guess was 20 I did once in a road car Hennessey Venom GT yeah so John Hennessey is this crazy Texan guy who got famous in the 90s and 2000's for putting twin turbos on Vipers and going really really fast with them and he decided to build his own car there was sort of based on a Lotus Elise hub but then he worked with the company called Penske that's known for racing as much as moving trucks they engineer a lot of racing hardware and they basically took a Lotus Elise and a racecar called a Daytona Prototype and put those cars together so they sort of stretched the Lotus and then they put in a 1,300 horsepower twin turbo v8 with a manual transmission a gearbox called a Ricardo gearbox which $30,000 manual gearbox from the fluids like an around town car actually it's really easy to drive because you know why it makes like something like 500 pounds of torque at idle and so you can you can literally just let the clutch out and drive it around idling and you know upshifted that's how I Drive my tractor it's got very long years cuz you could pretty much drive it like a diesel you know you if you can shift up at 1500 rpm and actually because they lengthen the the wheelbase 18 inches it rides better it's stiffer and it rides better than the Lotus it's it was quite an interesting thing and and I got to take it on a runway and it was Steven Tyler his personal car from arrows well what's your bang for the buck car bang for the buck depends how much buck used alright you've got a budget of 45,000 it should be fun fun is the only requirement yeah it's a it's a grown-ups toy do you need a back seat no okay I I would say 45,000 gets you a lot of 2009 to 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera S with a manual okay that's that's what my money that's where my money would go you know our is guiding you toward and when your opinion a Lotus lotus elise and Lanza and I got my lotuses but well lease is the really little one uh-huh Vora which is the slightly bigger one right and they range yeah I think yeah yeah if you're going for an Elise definitely 45,000 will get you a really nice really really nice Elise or eggsy's a really nice one they're like very go-karting you know manual steering minimal sound dampening you know Toyota engines so they're pretty reliable there's stout little cars as long unless unless you crash them but know they're safe but they have clam shells so there's none no there's not really such a thing as a small accident you have to replace it happen are and the Evora the bigger one I just come in getting me s the supercharged model or the 400 which is the newer one the non supercharged one kind of sucks but they sorted some stuff out a little later the 400 I just had for a month was so [ __ ] good so [ __ ] good but 911 Carrera is the one that you landed on without prompting right now you know I Drive a lot of cars and frankly most cars I Drive I just think this should be more like a 911 and when I Drive 911s I go everything should really just be more like this and that's sort of where I'm at right now
