The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is undoubtedly essentially the most succesful manufacturing unit street-legal drag automobile ever made. Built with quarter-mile instances in thoughts, it comes with a supercharged V8 engine able to 1025 hp, together with drag radial tires, particular drag-ready suspension, and even a transmission brake. But it is nonetheless no match for the Tesla Model S Plaid.

Brooks Weisblat from the DragTimes YouTube channel introduced the 2 straight-line missiles collectively throughout a latest go to to Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida to see which might be faster in a quarter-mile showdown. 

In the primary of three races, the Plaid is ready to get an amazing begin, launching away and leaving the Demon within the mud. The second race is quite a bit nearer, with the Demon nailing a formidable launch. While the 2 vehicles are side-by-side for just a few seconds, it is the Tesla that slowly walks away and takes the win. The third race is a little bit of a bust, because the Demon driver fudges the beginning, permitting the Plaid to take a straightforward victory.

As Weisblat factors out, these vehicles are extra carefully matched than the outcomes would counsel. In reality, it is attainable the Demon may beat the Model S Plaid if it have been to get an ideal launch. But in the actual world, the Tesla is way simpler to drive, which means it is at all times going to put down constantly fast quarter-mile instances. The Dodge, then again, wants a talented driver and an ideal setting to extract essentially the most efficiency.

If we had to decide on one, we would take the Dodge each time, regardless of the outcomes.
