Calls anyone who disagrees with him a magazine racer; copy + pastes a 10-page magazine manifesto extolling all the on-paper stats and alleged achievements of the newest irrelevant fanboy car. 
But the front wheels can briefly leave the ground dude, just like any basic bolt-on 4th gen F-body.

And some people do want to read about the achievements Dodge did with the Demon, you don't, then BEAT IT...That's obviously what this thread is about.
And I have about $200K worth of Vettes in my garage, and I'm sure my 900 rwhp C7Z will dust the Demon & I have slips to prove. So no "fanboy" here, just a car junkie that appreciates ALL HP.

You got me. I'm secretly just here to purchase useless Corvette parts for the ones I don't own (and I also don't race them ever, according to the wisdom shared with us in this thread!) Didn't think anyone would catch on.
Read the thread title. You sound like you're looking for your safe space right now.
Cool! My sub-600whp car would get absolutely gapped by yours and a Demon in a straight line.

You are missing my point. Why continue to add more and more horsepower when we already have cars with far more power than can actually be put down (nannies effectively neutralize all that extra go power for 90% of the cars use). Ya I guess it's cool and maybe great for bragging but not very innovative. The Viper VooDoo has something like 800+ hp too but at least that has an aero package and tires designed to keep it planted for a little hope of being able to stay on the road.

I have a concern in the back of my mind about government intervention, especially considering the hyper sensitive PC environment coupled by gov over reach we see regularly these days. As we continue to see more and more power added to these cars at what point does a high speed accident draw the attention of the gov? Then we'll be in the ****. Regulations on hp output for street cars for 'safety'. That slope will be real slippery.
Remember it is always someone else fault. It couldn't possibly be the operator of the 800hp 2 ton missile....nope its the deep pocketed manufacture ..... we have to regulate ......
