Now how about we look at manufacturers who build cars especially for a road course that are also street legal.....hmmmmm, Chevy, Ford, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, BMW.....but why don't these companies make a drag car that's street legal?

your asinine argument about how everybody wants a drag strip car holds no water, clearly they aren't as popular as you seem to think they are.

Yeah, manufacturers spend the money incorporating launch control because "no one really gives a schit about drag racing anymore".

Demon's are out in the hands of the consumer right now, and already running 9.80's /9.90's.
That is with M/T drag radials and the track ECU installed.
You people that think drag racing is dying have not been to the track on a week night for T&T. Plenty are showing up to run their cars. Plus it's cheap entertainment.
Heck in SoCal you can run 2 nights a week. It's packed!!

Long before they hit 100,000 like the C7!

Hey, any Demon owners want to race me on a race track with corners? All I have is a Z51, 460 bhp Stingray.

Stop listening to the dealer. Z06 > than any Demon
When I drive I prefer a Z06 over any Demon. Cannot beat the Z06 through mountain roads and passes.

Get one of each and problem solved!

Both cars will be amazingly fun to drive given their own strengths.
