Ugly is subjective. To my 70s teenager eyes it is a work of art and truly beautiful. They did a great job of updating the classic body style with more modern aero.
Unfortunately my 2017 cheap old man brain counters that with it cost to much to operate and has zero value as a DD.

I started driving in the late 80's and saw a handful of these around. I must agree, this retro look is the best design out of all 3 retro look cars. The Mustang and Camaro just don't do anything for me and don't look like muscle cars IMHO

Keep the Dodge Demon off our roads

From its barely legal slick tires to its monstrous acceleration, the Challenger Demon introduced in New York this month is the result of a sequence of misguided corporate choices that places bragging rights ahead of public safety.

An obvious advertising gimmick from Dodge Corporate to sell their Demons.
Works very well !

This writer just wants clicks. I agree that semi-slick tires are not the best idea but anyone can buy a Z06 or a GT350r and drive it. Dodge Demon is just the new thing and they know it will draw in the clicks.

There are too many cars that require more than average skill driving on our roads, this is just the latest.

Possibly a bit of both of these^^

And yes it has worked well in both cases.

Okay, alright let's compromise. You can think it looks nice and I'll pretend to have enough money to make the choice to ban it from my personal garage

I could afford one but the question to myself would be "What the hell would I use it for?".
Not going to race it, don't want to store it, sucks as a DD, and if I am going to buy a car to drive to meets on the weekend it is going to be that one's granddaddy.

Anything rolling on wheels will be just as dangerous with an irresponsible driver.. People are just butthurt because Dodge just won the HP game.

Shitty websites shouldn't be rewarded, I almost never click on Forbes articles because their website sucks.

Meh. I am not on a crusade to change the internet and just care about content. As long as they remain at least close to reality in what they write I just don't care what they do with their site.

Me too, and if the content provider wants to make it difficult to access I'll stop bothering to jump through their hoops and move on with my life. I don't even run an ad-blocker, I just don't like their obnoxious ads and how they block full articles unless you sign up for an account.

That doesn't happen tome on Forbes though. Wait 10 seconds for their quote of the day to pass by and then nothing.

I cut myself with a piece of paper...clearly paper should be banned!!

TylerLieberman · 04-26-2017, 11:52 AM

This is stupid.

How many of these are actually going to be on the streets again?

There are more FRS/BRZs wrapped around light poles and trees thanks to vaping, hoonigan shirt and flat-billed hat wearing dumbasses.
