Dodge Demon gets dedicated drag mode, secret message hints power figure

The most anticipated muscle car of this year is easily the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Each week we're surprised with a trickle-down marketing campaign that's leaving gear heads drooling. This week we've learned that the Demon's unique Bilstein dampers are set up for "drag mode," meaning they're ready to handle the extra load transferred to the rear axle at launch. Dodge already confirmed that the Demon will push more power than the Hellcat's already impressive 707 hp. An image released by Dodge shows the sidewall of the Demon's tires with a suspicious "815" instead of the tires original 315 width. Could this be a hint at what many have suspected to be a 815 hp Demon? Unless they really are putting on two and a half foot wide tires.
