Looks to me like the Demon is the new Super Stocker for NHRA racing... but chime in and let me know what you think

Motor Authority reports that Dodge dropped over 100 pounds from the car by deleting its rear bench and the front passenger seat, and a Dodge spokesman confirmed the detail to Fox News.
55 pounds, removed rear seats
58 pounds, removed front passenger seat

Removing the rear seats to make a special lightweight version of a street legal sports car isn’t that uncommon -- Ford does it to the Mustang to create the Shelby GT350R, as does Porsche for the 911 GT3 -- but the passenger seat? Not unless you’re building a race car.

Dodge appears to be trying to make the Demon as close to one of those as possible. Along with the seats, it also stripped out the spare tire, trunk liner, a bunch of sound insulation, all but two of the speakers, the electronic parking sensors and the power-adjustable steering column.

To be fair, Dodge hasn’t even said for sure that the Demon even is street legal -- in fact, it has a button marked Race Gas on the dashboard

I forgot Dodge is wasting our time rolling out the Demon advertising, here are the recent two vids

And Hot Rod has this:

the Demon will be the first-ever factory production car built with drag radials from the factory; unique 18 x 11-inch wheels with“Demon Branded” 315/40R18 Nitto NT05R tires front and rear, (the current Challenger has a 245/45R20, and they’re 10 mm larger than the previous biggest front tires fitted to the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. That width also makes these the widest front tires ever fitted to a production car.

The Demon will be 200 pounds lighter than a Hellcat also. That's about 5%

So, is this a drag pack not street legal car? or do the figure that like the Viper, no one drives them daily anyway...

Dodge will introduce (at the NY Auto show in April) a new variant of the Challenger SRT named Demon for the 2018 model year. It's going to have more than 666 hp

"Most cars attempt to be everything to everybody. Then there are the rare few that revel in a single objective, rendering them totally irresistible to a subculture. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiasts who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation," explained Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis.

Sounds like a line from a Fast and Furious movie which... HUH! Coincidentally! Is ALSO in April of 2017, and you can see the widebody Challengers in the movie trailer for "Fate of the Furious"
