The Dodge Challenger Hellcat And Demon Face Off On The 'Strip
Sticker price aside, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon bests the ‘lesser’ Challenger Hellcat on every level. It has 840bhp to the Hellcat’s 697, all kinds of hefty engineering solutions for quarter-mile glory, and, well, it’s the Demon. Hellcat is a cool moniker, but it doesn’t get any more aggressive than naming your car after Satan himself.
But don’t think that means the Hellcat is humiliated when put up against its big brother on the quarter-mile. At least, not if this particular drag race is anything to go by - there really isn’t as much in it as you’d expect.
As a side note, how good does it sound having two supercharged V8s blaring out the song of our people simultaneously?

Don’t you just love yacht races?
Tbh I’m shocked by how close it is…
A base challenger + bolt ons>demon then.
I mean… as long as what you’re bolting on is a dodge demon, that’s not true
A second is a fair amount of time over a quarter mile
It’s a whole second faster, that’s a massive difference on the quarter mile.
Was it just me or anyone else saw that demon had “DOM” written on its windshield?
He probably rented it from the track to race with
The Challenger challenged the Challenger.
It’s amazing how Dodge can make the same car for 10 years with minor tweaks, and people still go crazy when they first announce the newer model… it’s the same shit, just with maybe a new engine ans some performance parts… and a widebody
It’s been a long way…
The noise is…… satanically holy
