Spent all that money just to have a boat anchor.
I’ll stick with my 8.8

Quite honestly....ANY modern rear is likely to detonate with super sticky drag slicks and the kind of power that a Demon puts out.
The only bulletproof rear is the good 'ole FORD 9".
Sucks hitching a ride home with the tow truck driver who is hauling your broken pride & joy back to your garage....been there, done that ...:depress:

Since it was touted as a drag racing car I guess Dodge is on the hook for replacements.

Go racing, blow up car, take it back to dealer for repairs under warranty, can't beat that with a stick.

Yep. You gotta pay to play. If you can't pay, don't play!

The MSN article sheds more light on the issue. Dodge is investigating.

Overheard at Dodge Dealer repair facility, "I was sitting at this stoplight in town, and some yahoo in an old Mercury Marauder pulled up next to me reving her 4.6. She said she had a whipple, so I goosed it when the light turned green, and I don't know what happened!"
