Demon 170 vs Shelby GT500 - drag race

Dodge Demon 170 vs Ford Shelby GT500 -Iconic muscle cars
The Dodge Demon 170 and Ford Shelby GT500 are both iconic high-performance vehicles, but they have distinct characteristics. The Demon 170, with its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine pumping out 1025 horsepower, is a drag racing monster. Its specialized features like drag radials and drag racing modes make it incredibly fast off the line, with a top speed around 170 mph.
On the other hand, the Ford Shelby GT500 boasts a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine with 760 horsepower. While slightly less powerful than the Demon, the GT500 is more of an all-around performer, offering a blend of straight-line speed and track capability. It has a higher top speed of around 180 mph and is known for its balanced handling and agility on the track.

The fact that people think a GT500 can compete against a Demon 170 on a straight is hilarious. Even the Super Stock put buses on that GT500. Venom can’t kill a demon… This is like a get back to how GTs pick on R/Ts lmao

[@deviantarsenal]

I know the GT500 can't compete with a Demon 170 but to be fair to the Mustang, that grey Super Stock was definitely modified running a 8.3 in the 1/4! Factory Super Stocks are claimed to do a 10.5 and that is right on par with the GT500's 1/4 mile time.

[@djz3bra]

@@deviantarsenal You’re right, it is modded. However it’s also the principle of the car, it’s built for the strip, the GT500 is more track oriented, and if more evenly compared to a hellcat redeye, has about the same power to the wheels but still less torque and overall peak. Weight definitely plays a role, but they’re really not that much far apart considering how they’re both shaped and the power to weight ratio between the two. What the Challenger has in weight, it makes up for in power and torque, and frankly comfortability and interior room. It also uses it’s weight to its advantage by throwing all of it’s weight back onto it’s rear wheels to better utilize it’s monstrous torque, which is why they have softer tuned suspension compared to the competition, and largely why they don’t like corners the way they do. So there’s that disadvantage going for the GT500 at the strip. While the GT500 is just as capable at accepting mods, the Challenger is always going to be the best option for your dollar if all you want is straight line speed; It’s what they’re built for. That aside, it sucks FCA sold out to Stellantis taking the Dodge and SRT division with them, who also mandated that the HEMI must go. These engines were a substantial part of automotive history, and Ford is lucky they could remain an independent corporation and thought ahead with the MACH-E to save the V8 Mustangs. I guess only time will tell how well the new EVs and six packs will hold up.

[@deviantarsenal]

@@djz3bra yea I'm disappointed in the route Stellantis decided to take Dodge. I understand they're being pressured by the government to build EV's but from what I understand, they still could've kept the Hemi's. I think it was the Stellantis CEO that wouldn't allow Dodge to buy any regulatory emission credits for the Hemi engines. It's a shame to see such a legendary engine just disappear. At least it did go out with a helluva bang because the Demon 170 is an absolute beast! I am kind of anxious to see what can be done with the Hurricane inline 6cyl once they crack em and start tuning and upgrading them. I'm still kind of skeptical of the EV's and the way they'll be implemented. I've seen rumors of EV's pushing subscription based access to power, which I have no clue if that is legit but concerning nonetheless. I believe Direct Connection has a means to upgrade power levels of the new EV Charger through software updates. So I'm not sure what will happen with all that. I guess we'll see soon enough.

[@djz3bra]

@@deviantarsenal Yeah it was definitely a mix of both. Tightening emissions regulations, and Stellantis seeing it too difficult to justify continuing to sell these gas devouring beasts of engines due to these regulations. Mind you, Stellantis is headquartered in Amsterdam, where greenhouse gas emissions are taken as high priority, so it makes sense why they wouldn’t want them on the roads given their circumstances. While we have less strict regulations here, I think they have to adjust to where they can sell overseas, and not be held responsible for these cars and their emissions, which sucks for us who like a big badass V8, but it’s the way the world is going with climate concerns. As far as the Six Pack and EV, I too want to at least see its mod potential. And for the EVs if we were to have to pay for more power, that definitely would not go down well with buyers lol, Let’s hope that will just remain a rumor. That would be like if you bought a refrigerator and had to pay extra to unlock the freezer lmao. I have a feeling these new EVs might grow on me, but I just can’t justify as someone who’s been into cars my whole life actually enjoying an EV, at least not yet. I know i’m not the only one who just always has seen them as lifeless. But who knows, maybe Dodge will change the game, or maybe EVs will flop all together and engines will make a comeback lol, after all the lithium mining process has proven worse for the environment. It’s kind of a funny relationship Dodge has had with the Challenger, we’re almost in like a futuristic replay of 1974! Only this time it’s like a weird hybrid between the Charger and Challenger lol.
