We've previously featured several Old-school vs Modern battles from the Cars And Zebras' YouTube channel, and the video we're featuring today sees another awesome pairing between a 1972 Dodge Dart Demon 340 and a modern-day Challenger Hellcat. The two cars took each other in the Pure Stock Class at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex.

1972 Dodge Demon 340

Let's kick things off with this old-school Mopar beast. This is a 1972 Dodge Demon Dart 340. Under the hood lies a 340ci or 5.5-liter V-8 that put out a modest 240 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. The compression ratio wasn't anything to write home about, at just 8.5:1. The engine is mated to a three-speed torqueflite transmission along with 4.10 rear axle gears. But, perhaps the best aspect about the Demon has to be its weight, coming in at just 3,209 pounds.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The other contender was this green Dodge Challenger Hellcat. lurking under the hood is the mighty 6.2-liter, supercharged HEMI V-8 mill that's good for 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. This particular car has a six-speed Tremec manual transmission. Stock rear gears are ringing the bell at 3.70 but the biggest downside on the Challenger has to be its 4,469-pound weight.

The Race

In the race, it was a case of hooked and booked in case of the Demon. It just took off from the get-go. The Challenger did start to gain on the Demon, but there just wasn't enough room. The classic muscle car did the standing 1/4 mile in 12.35 seconds at 108.91 mph as opposed to the SRT's 12.39 seconds at 119.01 mph.

Its A Wrap

So, it looks like the Demon is no slouch, especially when you consider that it's over five decades old. Now given its impressive trap speeds, it is unlikely that it is stock. Remember that Pure Stock does allow some mods. As for the driver in the Demon, he sure does need some more seat time and practice. The poor R/T along with the Challenger's 1,300 extra lbs over the Demon is what cost the modern muscle car this race.
