A Dodge Demon, a Hellcat, and a new ZL1 line up against a ’69 Charger, a Nova, a Chevelle, a Shelby GT500, and a classic Mustang in this old-vs-new drag racing compilation, and the results split viewers right down the middle. One camp insists nothing beats old-school cool factor; the other concedes technology always wins in the end. A 1970 Chevelle SS 454 turns in a pass that neither side saw coming. Watch the full lineup face off.
A heavily built 2017 Camaro ZL1 — upper pulley, E85, methanol, custom headers — lined up against a Dodge Demon running nothing but pump gas and the factory tune. On paper, the built car had every advantage. Dodge’s from-the-factory drag weapon had other plans. The race has kept circulating for years, and the comment section still can’t agree on who really should have won. See how the numbers stack up.
Brian Makse takes the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody out for a first drive built around one real question: does borrowing the Demon’s flared fenders actually make the Hellcat better, or just meaner-looking? Commenters overwhelmingly say Dodge finally got the Challenger’s proportions right — and at least one viewer credits this exact review with convincing them to buy one. Watch to see whether the width lives up to the hype.
A small-block Dodge Demon 340 squares off against a big-block Camaro in a quarter-mile grudge match that turns into a genuine wheelstand, the Demon’s front end clawing skyward as both cars fight for traction off the line. Commenters are still arguing over whether outspending an opponent’s engine build counts as a real win, and at least one former Demon 340 owner shows up in the replies to defend the underdog. The gap between the two cars’ elapsed times tells its own story. Watch to see how it plays out.
Hennessey Performance took an already track-focused Camaro ZL1 and pushed it to roughly 1,000 horsepower, building a car aggressive enough to earn the name Exorcist. Forrest’s Auto Reviews got behind the wheel to kick off 2018, delivering an unscripted, iPhone-shot drive that shows exactly what four-figure horsepower feels like in a car that started as GM’s factory flagship. Watch the drive and see why the muscle car era’s comeback is more than nostalgia.
A factory-built Dodge Demon, engineered from the ground up to dominate the quarter mile, takes on a Tesla Model S P100D in Ludicrous mode, on a public street instead of a prepped drag strip. The Demon’s supercharged Hemi fights front wheel lift off the line while the Tesla’s instant electric torque needs no warm-up at all. Viewers were quick to point out the street surface never gave the Demon’s drag radials a fair shot. Watch to see which car actually gets to the end first.
TFLcar’s host describes experiencing actual tunnel vision behind the wheel of Dodge’s supercharged Challenger Demon during this quarter-mile pass — a sensation more associated with fighter pilots than car reviewers. Viewers zeroed in on the launch, the smoking rear tires, and even a spoiler that lifts at the finish to help slow the car down. One commenter called it simply the baddest, fastest car ever built. Watch the launch that caused it.
A brand-new Dodge Demon owner heads straight to the drag strip in this Sinister Life video, running the factory supercharged Hemi on drag radials and pump gas against a Jeep Trackhawk, a six-speed manual Hellcat, and a supercharged Camaro SS. Each matchup tests a different side of the Demon’s factory-engineered dominance, from all-wheel-drive traction to raw horsepower to driver skill. Watch to see whether Dodge’s purpose-built drag weapon lives up to its record-setting reputation against three very different rivals.
Dodge only sold the Demon for two model years before quietly retiring the name, and only a fraction of those cars left the factory with the 340 small-block. This B5 Blue example is one of them — a budget compact that was hiding a genuinely serious mechanical package under a cartoon devil decal. Here is what made the Demon 340 the sleeper Mopar nobody took seriously in 1971, and why collectors take it very seriously now.
Kyle from Saabkyle04 skips the usual 0 to 60 numbers and spends his time with the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon doing one thing, listening. Between the supercharger’s mechanical whine and 840 horsepower on tap, the video turns into an open question: is this the best sounding muscle car ever made? The comment section has been arguing about it ever since, split hard between two very different definitions of muscle.
A brand-new Dodge Demon owner takes the car to the drag strip for the first time, running detuned on pump gas and drag radials against a Trackhawk, a manual Hellcat, and a modified supercharged Camaro SS. The unscripted, multi-angle footage has pulled in over a million views by capturing exactly the kind of unpredictable outcome a sanctioned drag test never quite delivers. Watch to see which matchup surprised viewers most.
Dodge’s engineers found a strange use for the Demon’s air conditioning system – one that has nothing to do with keeping the cabin cool and everything to do with chasing quarter-mile elapsed times. Jason Fenske breaks down the SRT Power Chiller and After-Run Chiller in exact numbers, down to the degrees Fahrenheit they shave off intake air. It’s the kind of detail hiding in plain sight on a factory spec sheet.
