Since Fiat Chrysler/Dodge got bought, yet again, by Stelantis, I doubt the new owner group feels any need to live with promises made before their ownership.
One way for Dodge to benefit from the dealer raping, is to claim 50% of the over MSRP paid and have it proven by the sales document provided to the state(s) for sales tax and license. And tax, wow, are the states a winner there too, but I guess the people willing to pay $400,000 over MSRP aren't too concerned with an additional ~$30,000 in tax...

BTW, here's the 2018 production color chart in case anyone goes hunting for an old school Demon.

I'm impressed as hell that any of the big 3 rolled out a high 8 second car. If you read over the specs of the 170 and compare it to the Demon, the numbers totally make sense. The 170 is built to make and handle more boost.

I'm too GM loyal to buy one but.... but... no. I do hope Dodge sells the parts so people can at least buy the upgraded differential and other parts.

I've been in a Plaid and it's impressive but the styling is bland af, that's a show stopper for me. Check out the Porsche Taycan instead if you want a high perf EV, does 10.2's and looks a helluva lot better.

You see a dozen Demons a day?

I've have yet to see one.

I think an 8 second car off the showroom floor is awesome. That's what muscle cars are all about.

I would love to see Chevrolet one up Dodge with a street legal COPO as a last hurrah for the Camaro. Make 69 of them and let the rich boys fight over them.
