2018 Dodge Demon Vs. Bugatti Veyron Video: Muscle Car Of The Week Episode 258 V8TV

It's the fastest production car ever built and it's nothing super exotic. In recent years, drag racing fans have had the option of purchasing factory-built race cars from Chevrolet Dodge and Ford, designed to compete in NHRA-sanctioned event cars such as the COPO Camaro and Cobra. The Mustang jet and Dodge Challenger drag pack are full-fledged race cars, but they're not street legal, so Dodge chose to take it to the streets with the

Limited 840 horsepower factory built. world with the launch of the Demon, the first street-legal production car to pull wheelies, the Demon boasts big numbers for a production car with 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque as a starting point, the highest powered v8 production engine of all time and Claims to be the fastest quarter mile production car to ever launch a 965 to 140 miles per hour with 0 to 60 times in just 2.3 seconds.

A factory-installed trans brake and supplied wrinkle-wall tires contribute to the car's ability to lift the front wheels on a sticky drag strip again, a first for a production car, the devil tips the scale at four thousand two hundred and eighty pounds, not exactly a lightweight from the factory, but what that tells you is that this car makes power for days with the 6.2-liter Hemi v8 and a 2.7-liter Supercharger that shoves 14 pounds of boost down your throat, they sell it like a normal production car, but make no mistake, this is about racing; In fact, when you buy one, it even comes with a box full of drag radials and skinny front tires for the track, the car comes with everything you need to be a track hero, except maybe the ability to drive it, but That comes with the one-day behind-the-rock driving school class included with the purchase of a Demon.

The Demons landed in dealer showrooms in November 2017 with 3,000 American and 300 Canadian cars rolling off the assembly line on May 30,

and Dodge closed the chapter on the Demon as promised, claiming a limited run and there are no current plans to do it again, so we had some fun with this black

demon

. but someone asked if there was a way to demonstrate the car's power against something comparable in the brothers' collection. We thought it was a fun idea, as you may have noticed when watching this show, you may have realized that we don't have much. of real estate to drive these cars.

I mean, we basically filmed these things in a parking lot, so it was a little challenging to think about what we can actually do with this car. It can really demonstrate the capabilities of a nine second factory car in our small group, so while we contemplated how we were going to properly demonstrate the demon, we noticed that it is one of those cars that is causing a lot of controversy online, is it really the car faster production? I mean, maybe there's a European exotic or something. there, that's faster than dodging the demon, well, it was at that point that some of the guys from the brother collection said: well, you know, we have some exotics, maybe we could set up a little unofficial informal competition, not the everything, between the two, maybe yes.

A little toss around and see which one is really the king of the street, but what would you choose? You know, so we took the opportunity to go shopping in the brothers' collection among some of the exotics and we found that and that's a Bugatti Veyron, it's a European. exotic hypercar with all-wheel drive, W configuration, 16-cylinder engine, four turbochargers advertised with a thousand and one horsepower, quarter mile time is 10 14 at 134 miles per hour or something, so on paper it's not as fast as hell when the hell is dialed in with the trans brake and the right tires and all that kind of stuff because these things have been run at 960 to 140 or more so the parking lot is a decent place to film burnouts but It's actually not the ideal place to queue. two cars up and we notice that there is a small fire lane in front of the building.

I mean, come on, if you had access to a demon and a

veyron

, wouldn't you do something dumb like this and we wouldn't? I recommend to anyone who knows about illegal street racing and this really wasn't a street race, but why don't we block both ends and take the cameras and line up that thing and this thing and decide to see what would happen. Obviously we are worried. about the safety of everyone involved and the cars, but we're also very excited to see how these two cars would compare. The Bugatti uses all-wheel drive and incredibly expensive tires, rumored to cost around $25k for a set of four.

I mean this. The thing should catch on ice, the demon is on more traditional drag radials but not the crinkle walls that come in the demon box and the trans brake function doesn't kick in until the car has over 500 miles on it and This one, well, it's like 17, both cars pulled up to the official starting point in the fire lane and used a traditional drop arm drag start, they got out of the

bugatti

, made the jump and never looked back and we think Our demon driver was a little sleepy coming off the line, so he called for the second round the second time, the demon did his thing and shot the French supercar, take that man for fancy turbo pants, but the scene was It was getting hot, so it was time to put the toys away before they took them away from us. hook lift trucks, so what have we learned?

Some of this is a little biased because the demon is new and these things need to have a few miles on them before they go into Full Tilt mode, so right now it's not running at full capacity and Well, the Bugatti was in street mode and We also couldn't find the red key, so it didn't have the thousand and one horsepower and our track surface was, you know, far from a track, I mean, it's literally a fire lane, so you don't know. , it's not ideal conditions for racing, you know, almost a couple million dollars was the cars, but it made us think, you know, the guys who run the brothers' collection, they have the keys to all these things, I mean, Who knows what these guys do?

After hours, they won't be there right now, for all I know, maybe we need to talk to these guys about building a race track. Well, I bet you never expected to see one of these in Muscle Car of the Week and I bet your devil. The fans have something to say about our little showdown. I'll let your comments fly, we're happy to hear them and don't forget to subscribe because you never know what kind of nonsense we might come up with next time on Muscle Car of the Brothers Collection Week thanks for watching
