The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and the Nissan GT-R Nismo are both range-topper, while the two are as different as possible. And if we were to discuss a drag race between the two, this might look like a classic Fast And Furious scene. Then again, we're here to talk real life, all with the help of the drag race mentioned above.
The battle we're talking about took place in Las Vegas, with the drivers decided to reach a serious conclusion, which is why they battled on two separate occasions.

One might expect this to mean that both a standing and a rolling start were involved, but that wasn't the case. Instead, the two simply repeated the dig challenge.

While the R35 GT-R relies on its intelligent all-paw hardware to get off the line, the Demon simply turns to muscle car mojo. And in the case of this particular car, that involved the owner bringing the rear tire pressure from 25 to 15 psi.

So, did this help the 840 hp machine find traction and defeat its 600 hp rival? You'll find out below and you should keep in mind that the races seemed to involve a 1/8-mile course.

Now, this tale might seem a bit familiar and that's because the drag race we have here is part of a series. We're currently looking at episode two, with the first one having also involved this GT-R Nismo.

Godzilla duked it out with another machine from the land of the raising sun. We're referring to the Acura NSX and you should know that the race between the two will keep you in front of the screen from start to finish.

And since the series won't end here, we can't wait to bring you the next episode. Meanwhile, you should know that the racing action kicks off at the 3:00 point of the video.
