The Dangers of Hellcat-Swapping Side-by-Sides

A group of enthusiasts at SXSBlog have created a side-by-side vehicle with an 800-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine from a Dodge Demon. The engine is crammed into the rear seats, with a Powerglide gearbox and an S550 Mustang rear subframe. Custom fabrication was necessary to make the swap possible, including a custom gear linkage and 3D-printed gates for the shifter. The machine is designed for burnouts and is estimated to reach rear wheel speeds of 170 mph. While the build is still in progress, it is already being hailed as one of the craziest creations on four wheels.

"Tesla vs. Dodge Demon: Exploring Drag Racing Techniques and Traction Compounds"

Tesla has released a video explaining how to use the Drag Strip Mode setting on the Model S to unlock the full potential of its tri-motor drivetrain. The video was released after the Dodge Demon 170 claimed the world's quickest car title with the ability to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 1.66 seconds on a drag strip. While the Demon 170 comes with features to optimize weight transfer under acceleration, the Model S has its own tricks, including the "Cheetah Stance" that engages when the driver steps on the brake and gas pedal at the same time. It remains to be seen who will win in a real-world drag race between the two cars.
