Glad the 86 is slow: Keep the Dodge Demon off our roads

[shadow_772]

TBH that article seems to be written in order to make the demon seem more appealing and badass to the niche market that will already be buying it...

They banned the gtrs for the same reasons... Now compare them to the cars of today's and the ban is idiotic. People should calm down about this

Damned fools .......it only takes 2 horses to pull a wagon ....... using more than 2 is dangerous and should be banned ........

OP, is this you?

[Cal3000]

There are probably more dangerous accessible cars out there. There are $33k Mustang GTs with 435hp ready to torque steer their way into you on the road. Also, your 18 year old daughter probably owns a 310hp 320tq V6 mustang.

Any car can be danger, it depends on the driver.
If you got hit by 100MPH... doesn't matter if a dodge demon or prius, you still die.

My friend has a Lambo that with less than 300 miles.

As long as they make owning your land yachting license a requirement of purchase I don't see the issue ;-)

How do you go into that site with an ad blocker on? I never thought to go into a website that has you remove your adblocker so they can push a bunch of malware garbage into your computer.

LOL. It is Forbes. One of the leading business magazines in the world. I don't think they are pushing much malware onto you.

I've said before that it's an extremely niche product. Basically made for guys who are willing to tear apart their new $90k car to add the necessary roll cage and other safety components for drag racing and essentially turn it into a track-only car.

The disconnect is that most of the people who buy it are just going to use its 840 horses on the street and probably not always responsibly. I don't think that's reason enough to prohibit its sale as a street car, but I can see the rationale especially if a relatively high percentage of these are involved in driver-induced wrecks that endanger or injure other people. The insurance rate on these will be astronomical.

This alone will restrict how many ever see the street. I bet 25% of the first release get garaged/stored and never see pavement anyway.

Can we just ban it on the premise of "it's really ugly" instead?
