Yesterday, people posted photos of a badly burned Reliable Carriers trailer holding the remains of what appeared to be three 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demons. At first, there were rumors that the cars were not production units, but test cars. We have since learned that these charred Dodge Demons (two red, one yellow) were intended for paying customers.

Demons and fire. Sort of go together like horse and carriage, love and marriage, white and rice.

...Ed, I’m not your average everyday fool. Now I want my blue sports wagon and if you can’t get it I’m gonna take my business elsewhere! Where’s my old car?

Looks like the yellow car spontaneously combusted.

There’s a reason those high HP Dodges have a lot of extra cooling ducts and plumbing added.

I’ll stick with my 370 HP Pontiac, thank you very much - no supercharger needed. :)

“My Demon was built on Friday the 13th and burnt up on Halloween. “

Was the name of the car Christine by some chance?

I have a Mustang GT and I wouldn’t trade it for a ship load of Demons.

I bought a 1986 GT with cash from commissions selling payphones way back when. Still miss that car.

Hehe, nah, just a G8. Wanted to buy a GTO, but they stopped bringing them in shortly before it was time for my once every 4 or so years car purchase.

Well, assuredly the G8 handles better than those old Goats. Hell, my plain-Jane Impala handles better than they did, and not by a little (I’ve had both, believe me).

But, still, I do miss the raw power of those old beauties...and you could actually tell which company made which car back then (and you didn’t need a separate bathroom for transformers).

F$%^, I’m beginning to sound like an old geezer bemoaning the passing of “the good old days.”

I bought my friend’s ‘88 GT when it was little more than a year old, when he got himself based in Germany. Damn, that was a FINE vehicle...except that it couldn’t handle for $hit in the snow without 300 pounds of sandbags in the back, and only passably well with it.

I recently drove the Mustang with the Ecoboost 4-cylinder engine (310 HP) for about 2 weeks. Not as fast as today’s GT, not even close, but faster than ours and simply the best-handling car I’ve ever driven. No live rear axle helps a BUNCH. I REALLY tried to fishtail it, and never succeeded despite wearing away at least 5,000 miles of rubber in the attempt. :>)

FYI...

Reliable hauls all the Big 3's Prototypes around ( especially to western test areas ) and the trucks are spotless and the reputation is vaulted. Every once and I while I'll be at the right place at the right time and see them off-load something you've never seen before....
