My humble (often worthless) opinion. I do not see the Demon as a replacement for the Hellcat. Just like the Ford Cobra R was not a replacement for the Cobra. The Hellcat is a street car....a daily driver ...no problem. The Demon is a street legal race car.....the 4 point harness and drag radials scream such. Not an easily daily driven street car. They will sell some, but not near the quantities of the Hellcat.
