10. Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon isn’t merely powerful—it’s purpose-built for the drag strip. At its core lies a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine, unleashing an astonishing 840 horsepower when running on high-octane fuel. Dodge stripped unnecessary weight, incorporating lighter brakes, wheels, and even removing passenger seats, bringing its curb weight down to approximately 1,941 kg (4,280 lbs). The resulting power-to-weight ratio propels the Demon from 0-60 mph in a staggering 2.3 seconds, and it can complete a quarter-mile in under 10 seconds straight from the factory. Its aggressive launch capabilities and raw acceleration set new benchmarks for American muscle.
