That is true; however, Dodge had the 9.65 sec. 1/4 mile time emblazoned in nearly every Demon ad.
"Highest horsepower production car, Fastest 0-60 production car (2.3 sec.), First ever wheel lift on a production car, World's fastest production car 1/4 mile (9.65 sec.), etc., etc., etc..".
I don't recall seeing another manufacturer posting Nurburgring times, VIR times, Laguna Seca times, etc., throughout ~90% of their halo car's ads. Dodge made it sound like anybody with a pulse can buy a Demon and consistently run 9.65's. That was the "buzz" when it was unveiled...840hp and 9 second passes.
