Dodge Demon vs Hellcat - muscle cars drag racing

Iconic Dodge Demon vs Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The Dodge Demon is a drag racing beast, purpose-built for dominating the quarter-mile. It boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine that roars with an impressive 808 horsepower (or 840 hp with the optional Demon Crate) and a massive 770 lb-ft of torque. This power, coupled with its specialized drag racing features, allows the Demon to launch from 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.3 seconds. It can tear down the quarter-mile in just 9.65 seconds at a blistering 140 mph, setting records and leaving competitors in the dust. With its Drag Mode, TransBrake system, and drag radial tires, the Demon is not just a car; it’s a drag racing phenomenon, designed to dominate the straight line like no other.

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat, on the other hand, is a different kind of beast. It’s powered by the same supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine found in the Demon, but it’s tuned to deliver 717 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of torque. While not as specialized for drag racing as the Demon, the Hellcat is no slouch. It can still sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a hair-raising 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in around 11.7 seconds at 125 mph (for the Redeye variant). The Hellcat is more of a street-legal rocket, offering incredible acceleration and power that’s exhilarating on the road and impressive on the track.
