They're not drag racers or track racers. They are both street racers. No roll cage on the Demon. No fire suppression.

It's built for drag racing regardless of whether or not it is allowed on a NHRA sanctioned track. The Demon was built for straight-line acceleration. Not for turning races.

I've never been able to talk anyone into getting on the back of my FZR

I know the feeling. Only able to get three girls to ride on my RC51. Not at the same time of course.

My next bike was a Harley. Gave more girls a ride in the first month than all my previous bikes combined over the years.

I miss those days, but having a good woman and a good dog waiting for me at home is better. I still ride but these days it's a lot more likely I'll die asleep in the back of the RV with the crazy lady up front behind the wheel :)

This implies that the Challenger doesn't. It indeed does have 4-wheel independent suspension, and had it ever since it's 2008 debut.

No, actually this implied it. I really have no idea.

Or maybe you were thinking of the Mustang, which had a solid rear suspension until 2014. The new Mustang also has 4-wheel independent suspension now.

No, I was thinking of the original Beetle, which had independent, torsion bar suspension in 1936.

Agree that V8 and V12 sound sweet. I went to a couple CanAm races around 1970...there's nothing like the sound of those HUGE classic V8s.
