Not positive but from what I've heard, the Demon is MUCH lighter than a regular Challenger. I've heard anywhere between 3300 to 3450, all the heavy stuff was left out, or taken out, one of the reasons NHRA mandates a cage.
Might be all wrong, just what I heard from some "factory" people at Carlisle this summer.

Demon articles still put the shipping weight between 4,200-4,300. While Chrysler did save a couple of hundred pound by removing some odds & ends, it still has a LOT of weight that's required for it to be street legal.

A lot of difference between "street legal" and race, as we know. Take out the 200 air bags and the nose anti whiplash device, it'll be a few pounds lighter. It'll be interesting to see what Fiat will list as the shipping weight, if they are even raced, at $85,000+ a pop.

Currently there's no sfi cage rated for these cars. 25.6 has the weight but is geared towards diesel trucks. So I guess you could remove the supercharger and go slower than sfi required et.

Any chassis shop should be able to fabricate a SFI legal roll cage for this or any other car.

All current sfi tags are 3600# MAX with the exception of 25.6. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It CAN be insured for the street

Dodge has an insurance deal for the folks who buy one.

The guy I know with one on order was given a quote of $850 a month at 55 years old and a clean driving record... (He is still buying it!)
