Dodge Wants To Tell You About The SRT Demon's Massive Airbox Using Metallica Lyrics

The latest Challenger SRT Demon teaser is here, along with a bizarre press release that quotes Metallica. Yes, really

Funnily enough, I don’t think I’ve ever read Metallica lyrics in an automotive press release. But as they say, there’s a first time for everything, and if anyone’s going to quote a heavy metal band while making a media announcement, it’s going to be Dodge - the same company that saw fit to celebrate the Durango SRT’s arrival with a socking great burnout earlier this week.

“‘Gimme fuel! Gimme fire! Gimme that which I desire!’ is poetry by Metallica that speaks to every gearhead,” Dodge confidently tells us, while releasing the latest Challenger SRT Demon teaser entitled ‘Forced Induction’. I swear I’m not making this up.

Bringing things around to give some sort of vague context, we’re then told: “But, any engine builder will be quick to point out that the ‘power of that poetry’ is actually limited; limited by the chemistry of combustion; limited by thin air.” And that’s the news: the Demon will get a massive cold air intake box.

Measuring 110 square centimetres, Dodge reckons it’s the “largest functional ‘Air Grabber’ cold air intake hood ever installed on a production vehicle”. In other words, it’s some kind of monster. Oh, and you also get a pair of illuminated ‘Air Catcher’ headlamps.

All told, the cooling additions will drop the temperature of the inlet air by 30 degrees compared to the Hellcat. This should amount to a little bump in power, helping you seek and destroy your toughest dragstrip rival.

Because taking the passenger seat out is an option?

I genuinely don’t know why there is a second seat there XD.

Well, Dominic Toretto knew the answer years ago. According what he said the answer is “Nothing else matters”

This is starting to be the mutually assured destruction of the hype train cycle
