Proving Dodge's 8.9 Second 1/4 Mile Claim for the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 is LEGIT!

So I've already seen some chatter and content being put out talking about how the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 can't run the 1/4 mile numbers and speeds that Dodge stated at the reveal. The basis of these theories being that Dodge left off the scoreboards during the dragstrip pass during the reveal in Las Vegas. Additionally, using stopwatches, people have manually timed that reveal run and came up short of Dodge's marketed numbers. Then of course they bring up the original Demon and how people had trouble reaching the marketed 1/4 mile time of 9.65. So did Dodge intentionally try to pull one over on people by hiding the actual run time at the reveal? Did they lie and exaggerate about the 8.9 time that the Demon 170 supposedly does? Those are the questions I try to answer using actual data and comparisons. I try not to get too technical in this vid but part of answering these questions does involve some drag racing basics and the things that affect quarter mile performance.
