Weve seen the 2020 Chevy Corvette C8 race the monster of luxury cars in the Cadillac CTS-V competition and weve seen it take on a tuned Toyota Supra in a U.S.-vs-Japan tuner throwdown. However how will it do against Americas most effective muscle car: the 840-hp Dodge Challenger SRT Demon?
It appears like a walk. The Demon, on pump gas, can provide 808 hp to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and a bunch of technique tech that supposedly ought to put that power to the ground. Of course, it does weigh in at 4,280 pounds, providing it a power-to-weight ratio (weight-to-power, technically) of 5.29 pounds per horse.

The Demon, on pump gas, can deliver 808 hp to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automated transmission and a bunch of trick tech that supposedly should put that power to the ground. The midengine Corvette is much lighter at about 3,600 pounds, depending on choices. Throttle House does both a standing drag race and a roll race.

The midengine Corvette is much lighter at about 3,600 pounds, depending on alternatives. Its 6.2-liter V8 brings 495 hp, sent through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic to the rear wheels.
However, the Corvette is clever and has a well-tuned launch control function. The Demon also has a setup for drag races like this, however with more than 800 hp, its tough to beat the physics of rubber slipping on pavement.
Throttle House does both a standing drag race and a roll race. Who wins? America, thats who.
