Can Our Favourite American Muscle Car Beat Our Dream German Car?

[@revtoyota]

You can hear it in his throttle control, he has no clue what he is doing in that car. AWD and 2 WD isn't the problem. There is so much you can do to get off the line, less throttle at takeoff (not floor it like he is doing), less tire pressure (I can guarantee they are set at factory pressure ie. to high for drag racing), settings in the car are a big one these days as well. He is one of those 'drivers' that needs the car to do everything for him.

[@ericship8383]

It wouldn’t have made a difference a 911 turbo s is faster from 60-130 mph on street legal tires than a 840 hp demon is on drag radials

They limit the speed bcuz the stock tires are rated for a certain speed before they come apart.

[@ericship8383]

The turbo s without a limiter does 220 mph a base demon barely does 211 mph heck even the demon 170 isn’t much faster doing 215 mph

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

We have a saying in America. "Use the right tool for the right job." If the Demon Challenger had racing slicks (or whatever they are) on it, and the road surface was the least amount wet, those tires aren't gonna hook up no matter what he does. In fact, regular street tires aren't all that great for wet pavement either. I had a 1999 Dodge Ram pickup. Sport Model. Had a 5.9L V8 which made about 290 HP. I could spin my tires for about a block on rain wet pavement, no problem with just about ½ to ⅔ throttle. When we Americans go Drag Strip racing, it's on a prepared surface with sticky grip compound on the track that helps the racing tires keep grip. They also use this high grip compound on NASCAR tracks in certain spots (usually along the inside groove around corners) to help the cars maintain that groove as they go around instead of sliding up into the outer groove and into other cars. They use this stuff on the shorter tracks, like the 1 mile and below tracks.

[@TalentedThumbs]

We have a saying "Spinning ain't Winning" nobody drag races on a wet surface in America. He can improve it by racing on a dry track lol. Or a prepped surface (like a dragstrip) meaning they prep the surface and add chemical compounds to make the ground extra sticky. Or he could learn how to drive and control the throttle lol.

[@ericship8383]

Buddy it wouldn’t have made a difference the turbo s is faster in top speed

[@TalentedThumbs]

@ericship8383 I wouldn't expect a guy with a Tesla to understand anything about cars. 💀

[@ericship8383]

Except many cars with less horsepower already beat the demon in a roll race on the street the 562 horsepower McLaren 570s already destroys the demon with 840 horsepower in a roll race the 911 turbo s with 640 horsepower would dismantle the demon in a roll race then the 1019 horsepower taycan turbo gt beats the demon 170 in a roll race

[@TalentedThumbs]

@@ericship8383 you got downs?

[@norwegianblue2017]

Exactly! The Demon is specifically built to perform under very specific conditions. A prepped track, small front tires, racing fuel, rear seat delete, and a highly skilled driver. Under those conditions, it could pull a quarter mile faster than any production performance car in the world at the time it was released.

Drag racing is Americans thing. Please react to some Top Fuel Drag Racing, and even better.... old school drag racing💪👊🤘🇺🇲🏴‍☠️ This was a set-up against the Dodge. There are Challengers that would absolutely smoke the Porsche, and you need someone who can actually drive a drag machine

[@ericship8383]

The only challenger that’s smoking the 911 turbo s is the demon 170 with 1025 horsepower vs the 640 horsepower Porsche even then no dodge from the factory is faster than the 911 turbo s the 911 turbo s has done above 220 mph without a limiter the demon 170 does 215 mph and the normal demon does 211 mph also on the street the 911 turbo s literally smokes the normal demon with 840 horsepower in a roll race 😂

In the NHRA Dragsters, and funny cars, are all two wheel drive, and put out 10,000 to 12000hp. And run the quarter mile in just over 3 seconds, at 300 to 320mph. By the way NHRA stands for American Hot Rod Association. Which is what you really need to react to. 👍 What he could do, is learn to drive HP.😂

[@Joshua-u5v1v]

He said he had slicks on as well, and that was not true. He had drag radials, not slicks

Either way on the wet surface the drag radials are the wrong tire. A normal street tire would have way out performed the tires used

[@cocofox2167]

Not gonna lie most of the carwow episodes are ridiculous because of how poorly he drives the car and which pairings they choose for the episode. The Demon is designed and meant for the drag racing strip. It even comes from the dealership with little skinny tires for the front to make it faster on the track. The transmission and suspension are all tuned for a super sticky surface. I mean the launch mode he was trying to use was for a prepped drag strip not the street and especially not for a damp dirty track because it is boosting the transmission line pressures to get it to launch by really slamming the power hard to the rear tires. And it will do that at every gear change as well. Which is to say it is exactly the opposite of what you'd want for a car on the street unless you're a great driver with lots of throttle control. And who puts slicks on a car in dirt and wet? Team Porsche at the Nürburgring certainly wouldn't put slicks on in the rain. They would have gotten a much closer race with the lower horsepower and heavier but all wheel drive Jeep Trackhawk. There is a tool for every job and they just tried to use a sledge hammer to open a jar of jelly.

[@ericship8383]

A trackhawk isn’t even faster than a base 911 let alone a turbo s

[@cocofox2167]

@ericship8383 I think you missed my point. With the cars they were comparing on the wet dirty surface they used a 2wd car stands no chance with all that horsepower. A trackhawk being AWD would have made for a much closer race on this sort of track conditions. I didn't say it would win just that it would have done better despite having less power and weighing more. But that's in these track conditions. Change them to something dry and sticky and you have a totally different race and the trackhawk won't do as well. This was like taking a stock Miata and throwing it into a dirt road against a Baja truck.
