Watch the Dodge Demon lose to a BMW M5 Competition and yet still win the competition for our hearts.

The thing about the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is that while it’s a brutally impressive car, it’s really only designed to do one thing: go really fast on a drag strip. It also needs a whole bunch of very specific conditions to do that one thing really well. It needs pre-warmed drag radial tires, it needs 100 octane fuel, and it needs a prepped and ready drag strip.

It’s certainly possible to get all those dominoes to line up and actually post quarter-mile times close to the 9.65 seconds that Dodge advertises, but take even one of those components away and the whole thing tends to fall apart.
