Drag Strip: Dodge Demon with 24-Inch Wheels

The Demon is capable of doing it all.

Here’s a video to prove that the Dodge Demon can drag-race with any wheel or tire set up. Demonology, Dodge Demon’s owner, decided to swap his drag racing tire and wheel setup for a set 24″ wheels. He was ready to hit the drag strip, his set of wheels barely fitting under the Demon’s huge fenders. Drag racing is all about speed. The side wall is crucial for quick acceleration. But what happens if you don’t have any?

The Dodge Demon drag racer is purpose-built on the Dodge Challenger platform. Customers wanted more from the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which proved that a supercharged V8 was the right engine for the Challenger. Dodge decided to make a limited number of Dodge Demons to satisfy the demand. The Dodge Demon’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 motor produces 801 horsepower using normal pump gas, and 840 horsepower when running on 100 octane race fuel. The 6.2-liter V8 engine is forced-fed air by a 2.7-liter Supercharger. It requires more than 100 horsepower to run. Because of the elimination of the interior seats, the Demon weighed 215 more than the Hellcat. As standard equipment, the Demon had a driver’s seat and passenger seats as an optional one-dollar extra.

A set of front skinnies were provided to Demon’s drivers upon his arrival at the drag strip. Demonology discovered that even 24 inch wheels won’t stop Demonology from dominating drag strip.
