2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon | Road Test

Dodge's Street and Racing Technology division made a drag strip worthy beast known as the Challenger Demon. We took our test drive in its natural habitat, the racetrack.

[@revelare_xvii6269]

*The fact that the Dodge manage to squeeze 20+ mpg on the highway out of a 800+ HP V8 in a engineering marvel in of itself.*

According to what I heard from a cast member from friends and top gear, chrysler engineers ran this vehicle 2,000 times at the drag strip and it did it without even having to take a break to cool down. Big V8, Big hydraulic planetary headset automatic transmission powering a brick, and can drag a Lamborghini down the drag strip. But put in a few twisties and the Lamborghini will leave it in 2 corners lol.

[@jdubskiwright2380]

When people say o its faster on the strip then a Ferrari or a Lamborghini it's kinda idiotic..Ferraris and Lamborghinis are not made or designed for the drag strip there made for everything else and on the big end they will walk away from any American car... a ford focus st will leave a demon or a hellcat on an actual track..

[@sidneysanders5726]

Well.. I did mention that a Ferrari and Lamborghini will leave it in the dust going around corners, those exotics cost alot. And it's a pretty big thing that a brick can go faster in a straight line vs something aerodynamic And the corvette can keep up with any one of the exotics. Hell, a new mustang GT500 can keep up with a track tuned Porsche. American cars are slower than most European cars. So to say that a European exotic can outrun ANY American made car is idiotic.

[@jdubskiwright2380]

@@sidneysanders5726 not idiotic at all. It depends on the vehicle and it depends on what there doing..most American muscle cars are not tuned for twist and turns while European cars are.. while you'll never get a demon or hellcat to hang with a euro around a track simple because of weight distribution and the overall dimension of the car.. it the only mustang's that are stock that can even begin to go around tracks anywhere close to most high end Europeans are the most recent models in the past few years.. the gt350 gt500 even the boss 302 from 2013 are decent for track use..remember this goes back 50 plus years of design Europeans have always made there sports cars like this while the concept of American cars being designed to handle the same conditions are much newer considering... once you start modifying vehicles you can build almost anything to handle twist n turns good.. suspension upgrades weight distribution changes do wonders for anything

[@blakejr.910]

I’m a ford fan personally, and I will gladly admit that this is one impressive car, but for me personally, I think that the most impressive part of the demon (the power), is also its biggest reason not to get it. Who wouldn’t feel like a complete badass running 800+ horses? But unless you’re on a drag strip, or driving down the airplane runway from the fast and furious, you’ll never have a real opportunity to put that power to the test, this car isn’t built to do anything but go straight, and like I said before that’s fine and dandy, but I’d personally rather have something that can perform all around. Hella props to dodge for this one though. Side note, just seeing those thin ass wheels in comparison to the rest of the car is fucking hilarious to me 😂😂😂

[@zachg9065]

I dont know for the life of me why gear heads can still hate on Dodge. What other production car can do this with that price tag.

Because stuff like the demon is the only good car Chrysler can make. Everything else is cheaply made crap that falls apart 3 years.

Its because they always gang up on the smaller guy. At this point the only argument haters have is "because its dodge"

[@locogtr6475]

Ballin NetworkTv the answer is, its a drag car. Which means its specializes in the quarter mile. You want to autocross?(which i doubt you do) go buy that 1le you were talking about. Like i said, at this point people are only hating on dodge bc its dodge amd nothing else.

[@JAmitch-qi7jz]

While I do understand that some Dodge Chrysler products left much room for improvment. I.E. durability, performance. That can also be said about all production companies. What they are doing here is giving you a drag car thats street rdy ( and very comparable in mpg and performance) to the competition. Where as other give you a street car that you get drag rdy. A FREAKING STOCK TRANS BRAKE!!! A lauch control system that should be able to hard launch all day ( as said by the vid.... Sounds too good to be true). My point here is to 👏 and cheer for the route they are taking here. Because truth be told its yet to be put to the test by the public. I for one see these in a few years coming down in price, and when after market parts start flowing. This could be and enthusiasts dream.

[@locogtr6475]

Ballin NetworkTv a drag car that weighs 4500 lbs. Okay thats true but who cares. is that really relavent considering it still runs 10s all day. In stock form. With a warranty. And can be daily driven. Apparently dodges answer of 4500lbs is working if it consistent ly runs 10s

[@edman79]

blackericdenice Seriously?

[@JerseyMikeP]

It comes down to displacement, boost levels and MOST importantly # of cylinders. The smaller the cylinders the more power you can make with a given octane rating. Hefner motorsports has made 1,700hp on pump gas with a 8+ltr v10 viper. Also HP is just a calculation...Engines actually only make Torque. HP is just TQ x RPM/ 5252rpms. IF dodge gave the Demon a solid roller cam...it would be able to rev higher and break 1,000hp with ease.

[@av4926]

I agree with you, it's silly to hear the ones that don't. If a car's parts are made in their home country but built in the US, the US labor force wins and before any profit goes back to Japan for instance, they pay taxes on the sale which is Huge. Is that to difficult for you douche nozzles to understand or what. When Dodge makes the car in Canada, it profits Canada's economy not the US.

[@erikw792]

+Vin Vin The profits go to the stock holders whom can be from anywhere. The idea of a Japanese or American car is an outdated concept in a globalized world. By your logic if I buy a Dodge wouldn't all the profit be going to Italy? As Los Pollos Hermanos said Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Subaru are just as if not more American based than Dodge.

[@av4926]

No, they would pay sales tax in the US which is HUGE and it would help out a lot, then after the US gets their cut, then the left over profits can go to who the hell cares. The rest of your comment is just stupid and makes no sense. If Dodge was made here, it would benefit the US even more as it would create jobs in dozens of fields like manufacturing, different metals, plastics, carpeting and so on but Dodge is giving that nice chunk to Canada and then they claim American Pride. That is BS and it doesn't take a degree to understand this, even an idiot can, unless you are liberal, they are too stupid to understand any damn thing!

Tomaz Hilton WHAT????? Did you even think what you were saying?? Low 10s is close to 9s...And so are HORSESHOES. And this is a private track that motor week tests on genius. They can go as fast as they want. Since you apparently know nothing about street racing...let me educate you on something. The difference between a low 10 car (720 S) and a mid 9 car (bugatti) has a considerable price tag. I can promise you....the demon WILL NOT HIT A 9.65 in any condition that is considered "normal" The car is 4000 lbs AFTER weight reduction. Simple mathematics on power to weight ratio will tell you all you need to know. Look it up if you can calculate on real super cars what it takes to run a 9.65 in a qrt mile!

[@TomazHilton]

This is not a Private track dumb ass. it has fucking Sponser signage everywhere not to mention the big NHRA sign!!!! not to mention Bleachers for the PUBLIC!!. this is a Racetrack in INDIANA!!!! Motorweek is based in MARYLAND!!! i know cause im from MARYLAND!!! This test was part of the FCA's Road Tests for the Press!!!... you tried it.

[@bboy1hunnid329]

Street Reaper it’s not that serious 😂

[@streetreaper4984]

Tomaz Hilton They used privious footage on the video....DUMBASS! motor week has their own private track they test all their cars at so they can have a true baseline to base their numbers off of. They didn't post numbers because they were not allowed to show how slow the demon actually is. Look at all the footage and see if you can't find every second on prior videos on the net!! DUMBASS! 😂

[@h22sparkle]

Damn this car got me dreamin

[@big_cheif4687]

I love this car!!!

[@90lxfox3]

This has to be one of the most over hyped car ever

[@JerseyMikeP]

I can name a few that were hyped more.

[@ihavewaited90daystochangem51]

f-bodys and mustangs So you never have encountered tesla or gtr fanboys?

[@trueamerican2431]

Cuz there are so many other stock vehicles that can lift the front tires off the ground because they generate so many G's at launch? Oh wait, there aren't. Cuz it has 800+ horsepower bone-stock, yet costs less than most sports cars that it dusts off with ease? Wait, what is it that you are trying to say?!?

[@shiny0773]

10 second car for under 110k? That's actually a good buy lol.I just dont trust Dodge thier not really known for reliability

[@JerseyMikeP]

doesit go 100..."I just don't trust Dodge their not really known for reliability"....compared to what, in what aspect? Yes the chrysler 200 are bad cars....but that's only one model...every brand has a bad model. I'd take a Dodge or even a chevy over a FOrd in a heart beat. (Was a Certified Ford Mechanic). And Motor wise Dodge V8 are less trouble than chevy v8s. Old dodges trucks had trans trouble (a518

[@lfsracer79]

It's a one trick pony.

[@smithsfan425]

lfsracer79 you mean one trick demon haha

[@edman79]

That's the point. It's like saying a funny car is a one trick pony. No shit.

[@hmackprotection1]

lfsracer79 👈has no clue what he's talking about

[@treester9996]

lfsracer79 this car can't be named a pony....a Mustang is a pony cause of it's smaller engine and not that much hp (but still fast)....but an 840hp monster....if that isn't a muscle car i don't know anymore....

[@zockheem]

lfsracer79 no shit Sherlock its a purpose built drag car

[@Jordendog]

Can I get snow tires for it?

[@thecutlemon8101]

Wow I can’t believe this was 4 years ago…

[@proeyebry]

Yes please!

[@TheArfdog]

What's the point? Show off at the track? Or show off in front of 50?

[@SteveHolsten]

I love a remake of Smokey & the Bandit with say like Vin Diesel in a Dodge Demon & the Rock as Buford T Justice in a Trackhawk. That would be a hell of a chase movie from start to finish.

[@alphaomega3766]

Made in Canada?

[@overcastfriday81]

No roll bar?

[@montreauxs]

Handling?

[@splix85]

Hey! Thats Indy towards the end with it driving on the street.

[@justshemar2785]

The description he gave the demon reminds me of the Gt-Nighthawk from burnout Paradise

[@aidananchaya]

Why is the intro car a RT?

[@Born2Losenot2win]

It’s max speed is169 mile per hour Mustang has the higher max speed but lower 0 to 60 , what should I get?

[@JerseyMikeP]

If you are worried about top speed...the hellcat charger is the one to get...204.55mph. Way faster than any Mustang. I'm still waiting for a thorough test of the Hellcat Widebody....it's said to be 2 sec faster on a road course than the regular challenger hellcat and 3/10ths faster in the 1/4 mile. Demon only needs a set of Widebody rims and tires and a tuner to remove the limiter....should be good for 210mph +/-.

[@droptop5678ify]

I'm pretty sure this guy has narrated every shop video iv ever seen

[@nigelplantin6477]

I don't know which car I want The dodge demon srt or dodge challenger srt hellcat or red-eye or the Steve McQueen ford mustang SE damn so much to choose

[@c32amgftw]

Why no trap speed???

[@mikemorrison3913]

This guy's vOIce soUnds like an INfoMERcial!

[@aramguijarro2005]

Wheres the srt dart??

[@TheLegendaryLoso]

Nice!!

[@acrane2]

My guy starts the video pointing at an R/T saying "Everyone's heard about the 840 HP *HELLCAT* powered Demon!" Not even 30 seconds in I'm gone lmaooo

[@compaqdeskpro5770]

I have a Pentastar Challenger, and it has all the power and growl I could want, and its dead reliable. I'm not even fiending for a V8.

[@kelvinh8327]

I understand it has problems with popping its diff when dragging

[@nelsonrupiza7789]

Man... I cant wait to see this thing arround corners... WAIT....

[@rickphillips824]

Awesome

[@adamlemus7585]

I wish I can go back in time and tell John Davis back in the early 80's after talking about a 150hp sports coupe that one day he would be doing a review of a 800hp Dodge Challenger

[@b.jlovett]

LOL....He would have said " Hey kid ,don't get caught by security smoking weed here on the set of Motor Week .

[@dadgarage7966]

It's sorta weird now watching the same guy who 35 years ago remarked about how those underpowered cars had decent acceleration like 18 seconds in the quarter mile.

[@carshow2102]

Does anyone plan to daily drive one of these?

[@klasseact6663]

All the hype and all the videos and once it came out noone talked about it anymore. Sure, you've got this video but I just don't hear about it and I haven't even seen one at the popular cars and coffees around greater Chicagoland where there's a lot of money even! Can't do a legit pass down the quarter mile unless you cage it, needs 100 race fuel to get the additional 32 (BFD), so where do you take it...the streets, oh yeah, BRILLIANT!

[@kodjoblacka]

840 BHP??? That's sick!!!

[@srmorso999]

Yeah Murica'!... or... Canada?

[@miketess4272]

Don’t know what happened to John, but the latest MW videos without him aren’t the same.
