Drag racing has a long history in the U.S. A big part of that history is the rebuilding of production cars into drag racers. Many drivers and race teams would purchase a stock vehicle from a dealer. Then, the team would almost completely dismantle the car taking out all of the nonessential components. The teams would then rebuild it using some of the parts that they purchased alongside other parts that they acquired from other dealers. Finally, the team would tune the car to perfection. Dodge wants to get in on the fun and build its own drag racer. The Dodge Demon is the first factor built street legal drag racer, and it is making a big impression in the racing industry. Are you ready for the Demon? more Finally, a Street Legal Production Racer The biggest problem with drag racing is that it used to require two or more separate vehicles to participate. The racer can be entered into closed track races, but they were almost never allowed on normal roads. Dragsters have different setups that do not make them agile or safe enough for regular street driving. So, racers needed a separate vehicle to tow the racer to and from the track. The Dodge Demon is street legal, meaning that it can drive on regular roads provided that it has the right tires. Fortunately, all Demons come with a replacement pair of rear tires so that it can drive on regular roads legally. You Pay Just for What You Need One of the biggest benefits to getting a Dodge Demon is that Dodge will strip most of it for you. Racing crews often spent a lot of money and time on equipment that they eventually removed from their vehicles. In drag racing, weight makes a huge difference in lap times. Dodge will help you by stripping the Demon down to its essentials. That way, you are only paying for what you need, and you can save hours of prep time that would have been used to strip the car. Higher Performance from the Start Since the Demon is prepped and built to higher performance specifications, your crew will start with a much better car. Further modifications are still possible to bring it up to your performance standards. However, it is possible to compete with the Dodge Demon with the factory systems and settings. This will make a big difference in your performance since any modifications that you make will start from a higher starting point. You could get excessively high-performance numbers if you know what you are doing. Since the Dodge Demon was built to be a legal driving car, you will save a lot of money on towing and prep equipment. This translates to more time and resources to put into your modifications. Ultimately, the Dodge Demon could radically change the way that drag racers are acquired and designed. If it is possible to make one in a factory that can handle both normal driving and racing, then there may be a significant shift in the industry where more racers are made for streets as well. Either way, the Dodge Demon is best understood by experiencing it yourself at a nearby Dodge dealer.

The 2017 Dodge Charger is a modern-day muscle car, a powerhouse with eight trim levels to choose from and one of the most powerful engines anywhere in the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat. But power and performance isn't all the Charger has going for it: the sedan also comes with plenty of high-tech features inside and out that do much more than an old 60s muscle car ever could. more The Infotainment System The 2017 Charger has an available 8.4-inch touch screen that runs the most up-to-date version of Uconnect. This means it works with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so you can use a select set of apps on your phone through your car's interface and replace the standard voice recognition system with Siri. This system works with HD Radio, and you also get a complimentary year of SiriusXM Radio. The models that come with a navigation system also get five years of SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link. Digital Cluster Display Standard on every 2017 Charger is a seven-inch color driver information digital cluster display. This display sits between the car's speedometer and tachometer and offers customization options so you can see the information you want to know or flip through several screens to get a better idea of how your Charger is doing. At the same time, the bold red and black color scheme perfectly matches the attitude and colors of the modern Dodge brand. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop This advanced system uses a camera and laser range-finder to detect vehicles in front of you and keep up a certain follow distance you set when you activate cruise control. This means the cruise control will automatically slow down when traffic slows down and speed up to your set speed when the road ahead is clear. Since the version on the Charger has a Stop mode, the adaptive cruise control can slow down all the way to a complete stop if traffic gets congested enough, although you'll have to touch the gas pedal when traffic starts moving again. Keyless Enter 'n Go Keyless systems are becoming more and more common thanks to how convenient they are. The Keyless Enter 'n Go system lets you keep your key fob in your pocket or purse, because as soon as you pull on door handle the Charger will detect that the key fob is near and unlock the door just in time for you to open it. This system also includes the Charger's push-button starter, because all you need to do to turn over the engine is press the brake pedal and push the start button, without inserting a key in the ignition. The 2017 Dodge Charger combines some of the most powerful engines ever dropped into a Dodge chassis with all the modern technology features you'd expect from a vehicle produced in the current year. With high-tech options that cover convenience, information, entertainment, and even a little self-driving technology, there's no doubt that the 2017 Charger is the muscle car of the future.
