Carwow has dropped a new drag race, and it’s between two performance vehicles that offer contrasting styles of driving pleasure. In the blue corner is the sublime 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S. In the red corner is the guttural Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. The latter isn't available in the U.K, but host Mat Watson managed to get his hands on one courtesy of British car importer CS Panda. So with the Demon in tow, Watson challenged Yianni Charalambous and his 992-gen Porsche 911 Turbo S to a race that didn't turn into much of one.

This is an interesting race in part because of how different the two cars are. Whereas the 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S is more evocative in its delivery of speed and power, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is more in-your-face with its approach. The latter also packs more power — 840 horsepower’s worth on 100-plus octane race fuel — from its 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine compared to the 640-horsepower output coming from the 911 Turbo S’s 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine.

Based on those figures alone, the Demon holds a significant edge over its German opponent. Horsepower, however, is far from the only ingredient you need to win a drag race. Drive type matters, too, and in this case, the 911 Turbo S runs on all four wheels as opposed to just the two rear wheels in the Challenger’s case. The Porsche also weighs significantly less (3,650 pounds) than the Dodge (4,280 pounds), offsetting the power advantage of the Demon SRT.

The race proved as much as the 911 Turbo S handily beats the Challenger SRT Demon in all three races from a stop position. The Porsche also decimated the Dodge in a rolling race that started at 50 mph and only in another rolling race that started at fourth gear did the Challenger SRT Demon gain some measure of respect, at least until the 911 Turbo S rocketed past the overmatched muscle car towards the end of the race.

To add insult to what turned into a full-fledged gunshot wound, the Demon even lost the brake test, completing a total demolition job at the hands of the mighty German sports car.
