Is my Demon 170 faster than my Twin Turbo Mustang?

I compare my 2023 Dodge Demon 170 to my 2020 Hellion Twin Turbo Mustang GT to determine which is the faster car and which one is the quickest on the track. The Demon 170 is the quickest production car in the world from 0-60 but is it enough to take down the much smaller and lighter twin turbo Mustang GT?

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 🤷‍♂️

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!

[@r-shot8431]

Brother, that was nice to see.... the comparison is interesting for sure. Both are great / fantastic machines!!! That Demon 170 is without a doubt "The Boss!" Now that I am in the Tampa area, I am looking forward to seeing these the next time you're at a show or something. Keep the content going.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

If I was to pay for it I would definitely rather have the mustang simply cuz it’s cheaper but if I were to build a car it would always be a V8 with a roots type supercharger because I like the instant torque.

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.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

Racer X love your videos have been watching for years! I truly get the rareness of the Demon 170 but with all due respect you spent $120,000 dollars to go 1/2 second faster and it just doesn’t compute in cubic dollars! The S550 Mustang has a much higher ceiling and people are running in the 7’s with stock unopened engines (David Von Voris) ! I feel you gave up to early on the Mustang a simple converter change could have netted the 1/2 second difference in ET and if you got really serious with either car you can take out the 10speed in the Mustang or the 8 speed in the 170 cause seriously no purpose built drag car needs either one! Turbo 400-or Powerglide would be a better choice But $120,000 dollars spent on the Mustang would result in probably Low 7’s at minimum! Low end torque only enhances wheel spin!!
