Watch Doug DeMuro Dine Out On The Dodge Demon's Quirks

Unsurprisingly, Dodge's 840bhp Challenger SRT Demon has plenty of material for Doug's trademark quirks and features rundown

It should come as no surprise that Dodge’s 840bhp drag racer for the road has some unusual quirks. Granted, a lot of them - like the liquid-to-air charge cooler and the factory-fitted trans brake - we already know about thanks to the Demon’s extensive teasing campaign, but it’s cool to see some of the car’s weirder bits up close.

Take the false headlamp air intakes. The Challenger Hellcat gets one, but the Demon gets two, each with Demon logos on the inner circumference. How good do they look close up?

The whole procedure for running on higher octane fuel is fascinating, and there’s an interesting note about the data logger that records your quarter-mile personal best. Apparently, yet to take his Demon to the strip, the owner of this particular Demon clocked a 12.7 second PB without even realising, or trying…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Doug is the type of guy to say the Hellcat is the best musclecar ever, then say he can’t do the same for the Demon because he doesn’t know what monster comes next ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ

Probably the next one will be called Dodge Satan and has so much power that it will change the earths rotation speed when it accelerates.

Same job different passion

How dare you compare a legend to DeMuro.. Just kidding, they are kinda similar, but Irwin was so much easier to listen too imo.

The keys are the best part

Oh, these are common, every wannabe-pilot has one of these

Remember the time he almost crashed the Hellcat?

That is utterly stupid. I can deal with people ordering the passenger seat (that must be the only current production car which offers the passenger seat in option), but screw these who are ordering it with leather rear seats, satnav and sunroof.
