The 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 ($128,000 in Canada, $106,000 in the US) is undoubtedly loud, brash, and ripping fast. But the Dodge Demon ($109,995 original msrp in Canada, $84,995 in the US) has been tearing up drag strips and revving at traffic lights since 2018. So what happens when you pit these two American monsters against one another at Willow Springs Raceway in California? The Demon has a significant power and torque advantage, but the C8 Z06 has multiple weight advantages. One being that it is simply lighter, but the other is where the weight of the engine resides – over the rear wheels. This makes it easier for the Corvette to find traction off a launch and hopefully help it avoid pesky wheel spin.
Thomas takes up the helm of the Dodge Demon and James is in the C8 Z06. Things don’t always go as you might expect in a drag race! We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!
Massive thank you to @demon_2995 for bringing out his Demon for us to drive!

Having driven the Challenger, I gotta say, I don't know why that car was ever put on the market. Ponderously oversized body, small and cheap interior, painfully slow, pig around corners, oh and did I mention it is ugly? I guess the only explanation for its existence is that it is a Dodge.
Embarrassing dodge
I love all the Mopar boys in this comment section trying to defend the piece of crap dodge versing a masterpiece
Demon is still in a league of its own! Both cars are legit!
MAN…that vette is a monster as a ROAD course machine. Want to see it as a drag racer? Check out what Emelia Hartford has done with HER C8 vette platform.
he is SUCH a BAD driver my head hurts!
NEED SOME DHT !
Put a supercharger on the vette
These shows always do the same thing. One car wins the first race and the other car wins the second race all while they act like they are surprised.
Corvette rules
Now get the Demon 170 out there
Chevy always wins
I love both cars. Both designed for completely different purposes but still impressive even with all the downforce of the vette!
Sounds like corvette has exhaust sound coming from speakers.
Middle aged short guys who really have no driving talent. Haven't seen this on youtube before!
The demon comes with a drag package skinny tires for the front plus drag tires for the back if these where on the car during this race he should have had better results
All that money and Dodge doesn't put adequate brakes on the leadsled Demon.
Yet demon owners like to say it’s faster than the c8 z06. Clearly they haven’t watched this. Z06 is N/A and still walking a much higher horsepower car on boost. If you put twins in the Z06 it would be doing circles around that demon
Kinda
When it feels touch you just touch the pedal until you get halfway in the first Grand and then you with a problem he claims he was having trust me I know
On the street race version the demon decided to cut back almost at the end of the last gear but I think it would have been but it still depends on the driver
That Dodge is STOUGHT!!!!
wtf is this guy talking about? Half the cost of a z06? Is he suggesting the demon was 50k? Cause the z06 msrp is 105k… what the fu…..
Either one can’t drive they not shifting the cars at all pay a professional
LOL at 1:05 other than sharing the name and rear wheel drive its hardly comparable. performance wise as to those built in the late 60's early 70's. what an idiotic statement.
Two iconic badass cars. What's not to love.
