Is my Demon 170 faster than my Twin Turbo Mustang?

[@mikehughes8023]

Performance wise which one you prefer?😎

[@TC623D]

The day to day satisfaction you get from the low end immediate torque when you drive the dodge is substantially more gratifying than the GT! On the street, between lights an short bursts on the highway the mopars are glorious. The mustang needs more road and longer stretches to flex its top end strength but by that time the runs usually coming to an end. Dodges are like impact sledge hammers to the chest 😂, mustangs pull an pull an pull til you say mercy 😂. Which sounds more fun lol 🤷‍♂️

It’s cool to see the comparison. The potential of the Coyote is the absolute best! Now the 170 is a Monster for a stock Mopar. Not sure you seen the Legion of Demons last weekend, but a few guys got into the 8.9’s without using the Transbrake. It’s taking driving experience & knowledge to get them hooked up, but the power is there to make it happen. Looking forward to more content as you chase that 8 second pass in your 170 👍😉

Have taken several great road trips with the Mustang - mostly back roads, mountain roads and rural “highways”. That Dodge is a monster for sure, but not my style + it’s way too big & too heavy. Horses for courses! Good luck and happy motoring 🤠

[@brandonbarnett9919]

I love both cars. But honestly if you get a suspension kit for the mustang it might give the demon a run for its money at 900whp. And go for a 2 step to help build consistent boost off the line. You have the power, you just have to plant it.

[@randylear8264]

Thank you for this informative video. These are two entirely different approaches to building cars. Turbo vs. supercharged. Two valved vs. four valved. Single cammed push rod vs. double over head cams. Large two door vs. small two door. Two entirely different approaches to building a car. You pointed out the differences. So the Ford guys have a great car to hang their hats on. And the Dodge guys have a great car to hand theirs. Also have to add Chevy in the mix with their great performer too. Enjoy your brand and know that they all have bragging rights. I am from a time gone by. The 70’s were my street car racing playground. We also compared the manufacturers to one another. I still own two examples from that era. A 70 GTX and a 70 Challenger. I was in my teens then and believe me. We could afford with some effort the muscle cars of the day. Not true today. It’s those folks in their 30s and 40s with a good paying job that afford these modern high hp cars. As in very few teens can get these type cars. As some things have changed a lot stays the same. Some might know what I mean. Enjoy them as it might be the last hooray.

If you didn't know, your Demon race against the Plaid was used on an EV oriented channel to say "close but no cigar".

As far as my choice between the Mustang and Demon, obviously the Demon. It is just a badass car in looks and performance.

this is why i feel like you should have waited to race brooks bro! if you dial this demon in, you will be seeing the 8.9.. multiple videos here on youtube showing the 170 running 8.9-9.2 all day

[@RacerX9]

One thing that people are forgetting about is that I am the only guy out there actually racing people in their 170 .. people are out there time chasing and getting perfect launches with poor reaction time because they are sitting at the light trying to get everything perfect. Under better track conditions I would have done better against the plaid but it didn't have anything to do with me. I couldn't really help the lack of prep .. and the Demon needs a hard launch to beat the plaid. I have seen every time that is 9.2 or better run out of these cars so far and all those cars had some things done to them in one way or another. Some had multiple things taken off to lighten them up like bumper supports .. others already did a trans tune (which is the most common thing I have seen).. Its doable and I do think I will get a better time with the right conditions but racing other cars is a completely different game

Awesome video bud! BTW, CONGRATS on hitting 200K subs!! Thanks to everyone for making that possible!!! Ya'll rock!! I would pick quicker vs faster. Low end punch off the line is more useable and fun than high-end punch at the top, IMO. You'd have to break the law to make use of the 5.0s power up top! Not so with the Demon/Scat Pack. That's why I wouldn't mind owning a 6.4. I don't need Hellcat/Demon levels of power. The 6.4 can play down low too, and cost a lot less!

[@arthurgonsalves2343]

I like quicker and I always love the Mopar body style and the loud sound from the muffler setup. These cars always turns heads and that is awesome.

Admittedly, I’d take the Mustang any day. I’ve got a performance pack car and I love the braking and cornering of the car. I’ve got a lot of backroads around me that really allow me to have tons of fun. I dig the challenger because it’s really roomy will pull hard.

[@paulhudgins5120]

Always awesome for your comparison videos, really cool that they are both of your cars. I would prefer more the street car like the Mustang but the pure power neck snapping, getting slammed into the seat from the Demon would be such a rush, really love them both, can't go wrong with either one.

[@justinseyerinc2379]

Did you see the associated press story on the new STLA Large frame from stelantis it will take batteries, ice engines and be very configurable I think it was a very good story.

[@me3423]

All you need is a higher stall converter for the Mustang and you can 60 foot as fast as the Demon. A transbrake would be nice with a bump switch but not necessary if you don't care about your reaction time. A 1.35 60 foot should net 9.2 ET. Four more pounds of boot will put you over 1000 wheel and 8.70s.

[@toddreeder3082]

Paul congrats on owning both Sir the more i look at the newer Stangs they definitely grow on me however the leg and head room nothing compares to the Challengers..

[@DWH300]

I confused with your comment regarding the Mustang's headroom and legroom. I'm 6'2" with an average built and find the S550 and from a test drive in a S650 Dark Horse. I had plenty of room. The only car I felt cramped in was a friend's Camaro. The Mustang isn't a small Sports car unless you're using the rear seats.

[@jasonbyassee7541]

My performance pack Mustang spoiled me with the crazy brakes. Every once in awhile I get a chance to rail around corners and lean on the brakes. It’s so much fun, but the quick easy fun is accelerating. Dodge must have set that car up for weight transfer for acceleration. Clearly the Mustang is set up for decent acceleration along with cornering and braking.

I actually think these cars are compared too often and they are just very different. Mostly regarding interior space. You can actually comfortably fit a family in the Challenger. The Mustang is a cool car, but with my height the back seats are non existent. At that point a Vette will work just as well.

The Demon is a purpose built drag car, the Mustang is more of a track car stock so it is missing important things like the proper shocks, springs, struts, components for the rear end. The Demon 170 is an awesome car for sure, but if I have $120k or more to spend, I'd go for a used base model 10 speed mustang for $35k and put the rest into the car.

I'd put a stall in the Mustang along with axles and some suspension / traction stuff if it was me, and I'm pretty sure the Demon would be in trouble.

Wanna bet about how fast your Mustang is you can flash in with HP tuners the Transbrake into the Mustang and it will get nasty probably as violent. And it has a bump button built into it. So try that and I bet your 60ft time gets better and I bet your 0-60 improves too.

[@americanosbadassius9292]

Quicker, no question. Most of the fun you experience all happens before 5252 rpms anyway, so low end grunt is the truest characteristic of a muscle car.

[@killacoiler1707]

I guess the real question is where will you do most of your driving? If it were primarily a street car then the Mustang having a softer hit on the bottom would be advantageous due to non-prepped surfaces; however, if you are a weekend warrior and visit the track more where you have a prepped surface then I would go with the Demon because on a prepped surface your 60 foot is usually where the race is decided and having a strong bottom end launch is going to be paramount. To be fair I have been in a Supercharged Coyote powered Mustang that produced far better launch times than your turbo car that are on par with your Demon's times and still ran out better top end wise and I would attribute much of that to the transmission in the Mustang having more gears with a taller top gear ratio but I could be wrong. Either way I love these two cars and would be happy with either. The Mustang is a bit more fun simply because it is built power and not factory bought power so it gives you more creative leeway on how you get to your numbers.
