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.

Who would buy a car called “demon”?

I recently drove the Mustang with the Ecoboost 4-cylinder engine (310 HP)

Wait, what?! That shit ain't right. A 4 cylinder Mustang?! Ecoboost?!

I call bullshit! :-)

According to Fox News:

The 840 hp muscle cars were on a Reliable Carriers transport trailer that caught fire in Michigan, seriously damaging the Demons with it. The cause of the inferno is under investigation, according to a report on Allpar.com, but it started on the trailer, not one of the cars.

It didn’t. Fire started in trailer, not in the cars.

Look it up. I was not favorably impressed when I read about it, but behind the wheel is a different story. Handles like a dream, not sluggish (but no monster torque, either).

I wasn't calling bullshit on your post, I was calling bullshit on Ford putting a 4cyl into a Mustang!

Yes, I know they did that in the mid to late 70's and early 80's. My sister owned one. Worst POS ever on the road.

Except for an AMC Gremlin. And the AMC Pacer. Ok, the AMC Matador too. And then there was the Eagle "Spirit" .....

I know. I remember those POS 4-bangers, and couldn’t believe that they would do it again. But they did it right, for once.

The Pinto was the worst, exploding gas tank and all.

I remember a comedy short where a guy in a pickup barely tapped the bumper after a valiant attempt to stop, and after hitting it you saw film of some nuclear test.

I'm not kidding: I drove a 1973 Ford Pinto Wagon through college. I bought it with 78,000 miles on it and proceeded to put about 150,000 over four years on it myself. Drove the wheels off that thing.

Ugly as sin, reliable as all hell. Had the 2.0 Liter 4 banger in it with a 2bbl carb. The only things I ever had to do to it was replace the timing belt 3x, alternator, water pump, battery, brakes, tires, plugs and wires. All normal maintenance for a vehicle with so many miles.

Sure it was nothing special to look at but it got great gas mileage (which I needed at that time) and best part of all: I could work on it myself easily.

BTW: it was the Hatchback and Glass Hatchback models that had the fire risk when they got rear ended. The wagons didn't have that problem.
