If you thoughtthe Tesla Model S P100D drag racing video craze is over, you may need need to think again, as we're here to bring you yet another brawl of this kind.
To be more precise, we're talking about a P100D battling out with a Hellcat, but we're not talking about a standard Mopar machine. Oh no. Instead, the owner of the Challenger we have here has gone for the usual custom tech process involving a pulley upgrade and the obvious ECU remap. This should help the blown 6.2-liter V8 deliver around 900 ponies at the crank, hence the title above.

And, to make sure the muscle machine puts its power down, he went for a pair of et pro street drag radials.

The crew that hoons this EV didn't choose its Tesla Racing Chanel YouTube name by accident - for one thing, these guys are constantly hunting Hellcats.

Nevertheless, when it comes to the fight we have here, you'll have to keep in mind that the first car crossing the finish line is one think (reaction times are included), while the best time displayed at the end of the race is another thing (this shows the more potent car, regardless of the driver's reactions).

The final part of the clip will also bring a slightly amusing discussion on the mandatory fireproof clothing topic, which shows why the Tesla Model S deserves its rule rewriter status.

Now, about that monstrous Dodge Challenger ADR we recently showed you as a prototype

Since we're mentioning the Hellcat playing drag strip games, we can't help but remind you Dodge engineers are currently working to improve the muscle car's drag racing game.

We're talking about the upcoming Challenger ADR. Standing for American Drag Racer, this still-tentative badge will see the blown monster receiving much fatter rubber that will trade off some of the handling playfulness of the current model for the racing-needed traction. And yes, the spied prototypes look... surreal.
