The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is one of the most powerful vehicles on the market and is a step up from the previous muscle-powered machinery of the Dodge Hellcat.  When people speak about these two muscle-cars, the biggest appeal and talking point is the horsepower.  By all the metrics, the Demon should blow the Hellcat out in a straight up race.  If you’ve ever wanted to see a Demon vs Hellcat, Autoweek has the video for you.

They highlight a new video that shows the Demon taking on two different Hellcats.  The surprising part is that the Demon struggles to keep up with the Hellcats.  It is one of those times when the numbers might be in the favor of the Challenger SRT Demon, but that doesn’t mean the drivers are evenly matched, which could explain the races showcased.

The Dodge Demon is one of the coolest vehicles on the market.  It is impossible to see it in action and not be able to take your eyes off of it.  It’s perfectly designed for showing off.  In the hands of experienced drivers and film-makers, the result is beautiful.

Pennzoil has a history of making SRT vehicles look amazing on screen.  They did it for the Dodge SRT Viper in their video “The Last Viper” and have brought that same vision to the Dodge Demon.  Their lastest video is “Exorcising the Demon” and it is just awesome.

The video is a muscle-car junkies dream come true.  No talking, no breakdown of the mechanical side of the Dodge; simply raw and beautifully shot footage of the Demon racing down streets with the constant roar of an engine that sounds like it is about to break the sound-barrier.  The driver races it down streets and around corners as the world around it bends and shakes to its power.  Check it out here:

While the Dodge Viper SRT may be getting shelved, that hasn’t stopped anyone from trying to coax the most potential from an already powerful supercar.  The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is one of the fastest track cars there is.  That isn’t good enough for German tuning company Geiger Cars.  They’ve gotten under the hood and have super-powered the ACR to get it to push even more horsepower.

Geiger has a reputation for their tuning of performance vehicles.  Their upgrades to the ACR include ECU tuned cylinder heads, sports catalytic converters, and a stainless steel sports exhaust system.  It boosts the performance of the ACT’s 8.4-liter V10 engine and gives it 765 horsepower!

The car itself has also been upgraded to help drivers maintain control of all this power.  The “Extreme Aero Package” is a carbon fiber body kit.  All-in-all for Dodge Viper owners or perspective owners, it appears that Geiger has figured out how to really unleash the potential of the supercar.
