Ouch, Lol. I see the Demon hater crowd has grown. Trap speed is what matters on the street from a roll. I've been talking about that low strap speed since this thread: https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/demon-vs-bolt-on-hellcat-1-2-mile.1152600/

The ZL1 catching the Demon from behind, was about as big a kick in the balls as you could get, lol.
Nail on the head lol...
That's what surprised me the most. It's one thing for the ZL1 to run away from it. Something else when it ran it down from 3+ cars behind and still freight trained it before the race ended. And this is prime weather; cool temps, low humidy. The Demon should be killing it right now.
One of those things only car guys understand, it's demoralizing when you have someone start behind you, only to run right by like you're standing still. Especially by a CAI and tune only car. Not a Camaro fan, but I would lean hard towards this as it can not only walk a Demon, but can tear through corners too.
Something isnt adding up here Hellcats and ZL1s are neck in neck. How is it the Demon is that much slower? Are the transmissions identical between the hellcat and demon? gearing issues maybe? I know they have different rear, could the huge tires up front slow it down that much?
Doesnt make any sense at all
ZL1 is quick

The Demon isn't slower, in fact its almost a full second faster than the quickest tire only Hellcat. Its the driver behind the wheel and he's either not using the red key, not in 808/840hp mode, or has never driven a fast car before. This video makes it very clear he has no clue how to drive it
Heres a bone stock Demon(808hp) vs a high 9 second Hellcat(860rwhp) in the half mile. My bone stock 621rwhp Hellcat did 156 and this one spun pretty bad.
The yellow Demon has run a 10.2 at 132mph in AZ(2,300 DA). Actually here's video of the Demon beating a ludicrous Tesla

That red one got beat up... and it was a roll, and automatic.. kinda takes all the excuses out when a car with at least 100 less rwp pulls past it..
A Hellcat is neck and neck with the ZL1 so something is up with the Demons settings, the driver or its simply a traction issue. There should be a lot more Demon videos out in the next month proving this is a fluke and we will see a modded Demon beat the Hellcat 1/4 mile record
So you're ignoring the 40mph half mile roll race video above where it led almost the entire race a Hellcat with 150 more HP
The one where we can see the Hellcat wiggling trying to get traction at the beginning of the race and still passed the Demon by the halfway point and posted an 8MPH faster trap speed? That video?
I'd expect high altitude to favor the turbo car; a SC car has a fixed pressure multiplier, so lower DA translates directly to lower power, while a turbo car with an electronic wastegate can compensate (to a degree) for lower ambient air density.
Why do you keep posting that? The 720S driver was sleeping at the lights for the first race, and he won the second race despite the Demon getting the hit again.
Now we know why the videos are down. Busted!

Im pretty sure dragtimes guy has a lawyer to squash this. Almost half the car content on youtube is someone speeding anyways.
"Men with fast cars" hmmm assuming gender... Good job cbs.
What do all of these "Vlog" dumbasses think is going to happen? Back in the day we tried to stay as anonymous as possible, now everybody has turned a street racing video into a 15 min interview with faces, names, tags, street signs all in view plain as day. I guess they are in for the big money, but at the end of the day, that money does no good once FHP and some bitch ass news company are out to get you.
I watch youtube and most street racing videos despite having WAY more powerful and exotic cars featured compared to the past are ****ing awful, boring and awful.
