Fairly neat watch, not sure why so many companies have decided to start making these mini movies where they flog the E36 M3 out of cars but I'm not going to complain about that.
The demon actually appears to turn better than I expected a drag centered car to, and that engine sounds phenomenal.
I love Pennzoil's videos - they made a great one with the Viper too!

I made a .gif of DAT LAUNCH - I wonder how artificial that is?

It's almost as good as the Viper's money shot.

Damn... I came here hoping for a link to a cheap A-body...

If I found a cheap A body there's no way in hell I'd share it before I had the chance to get my grubby hands on it. I'm greedy like that.
That video is not artificial. The Demon can lift it's front wheels and carry them when launched correctly. Wonder how I know?? Keep on reading GRM---- details coming soon.......

It's a product of our "social media" oriented world. And companies realized the cost difference between a 3 min mini-movie and a 30 sec commercial aren't much different. Just less footage ends up getting cut.
And it worked because you shared the video. 
BMW started it with The Hire series 15 years ago.

That's the answer I was hoping for 
That makes it 1000% more awesome knowing that.
^^^ Awesome is an overused word. It is a fitting description for the Demon though. It inspires awe. It's every bit as badass, crazy and yes....awesome as the hype would lead you to believe. We also drove the Challenger Hellcat Widebody and SRT Durango during this launch. Look for the coverage soon in GRM.
That's cool, now they should start doing it with cars that mortals will own.
Well since there are no known immortals (besides a certain species of jellyfish), mortals own these cars

In reply to Trackmouse:
Considering you can just build a hellcat on their website and they've already got a spot for the demon there with a starting price maybe mortals will own it.

The English language - like all things in life - is constantly changing. Otherwise it'd be dead. (lookin' at you Latin)

Certainly no harm using awesome in reference to an 840hp beast! No slight towards you intended. Now let's go bowling!

I need to know more about the jellyfish.
Oh, and the video gave me a stiffy. But im a mopar whore. Can't get enough of the.
I like that they somehow snuck the widebody hellcat past me. Throwing more rubber at the 700hp seems like a good idea.
