As with the Dodge Demon, the Dodge Charger Hellcat only comes in eight-speed auto mode. So you'd imagine that getting the thing off the line is all a simple game of using the two pedals at the same time. Well, as it turns out, not all Mopar drivers who hit the drag strip are aware of this.
Using the brake pedal to keep the car in one place while turning to the gas to build up the revs is part of the basic Christmas Tree play and the piece of footage at the bottom of the page shows you how to do this.

And what's the best way of delivering such an explanation? A drag race, of course. And the drag strip brawl we have here involves the two SRT toys we mentioned in the intro.

However, while the Dodge Demon we have here comes in factory stock from (this means its HEMI delivers 840 hp), we can't say the same thing about the Charger Hellcat.

The four-door muscle beast we have here has received serious engine mods. And to put the power down, the thing packs beadlock rear wheels with meaty tires that are just right for the strip.

A quarter-mile stunt. This is the battle chosen be the two Dodges, with the supercharged animals dukign it out at Texas Motorplex.

Those of you who are tuned into our drag racing tales will be familiar to the driver of the Demon, since we're talking about YouTuber Demonology. And, for the record, the man doesn't always use the Transbrake feature of the car, since the sudden power transfer sends the rear tires on an unfortunate quest to find grip.

Looking past the editing giggles of the video we have here, you can jump to the 2:57 point of the clip for the racing action. Nevertheless, you can also pay attention to the schooling session, which awaits you at the 5:36 point.
