The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, with its more than 800 horsepower, is renowned as a drag strip powerhouse. However, it has also proven to be an impressive drift car. This isn’t entirely unexpected; it’s designed for straight-line speed, but it’s fundamentally a rear-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with a robust and powerful engine. When you apply more power than the tires can grip during a turn, it’s inevitable that the back end will want to swing out.
When it comes to showcasing the Demon’s drifting ability through the streets of Pittsburgh for a cinematic YouTube promotion, Pennzoil knew they needed expertise. They enlisted the talented Rhys Millen, a well-known figure in the drifting scene.
The video, titled “Exorcising the Demon,” builds on Pennzoil’s previous Dodge-related content featuring one of the last Viper models. Although some parts of the video veer towards the cheesy side, particularly near the conclusion, the core content is nothing short of breathtaking. It features over two minutes of the striking black-and-yellow Demon performing wheelies, burning rubber, executing powerful slides, and even pulling off an impressive 360-degree spin—whether it was a calculated stunt or a daring recovery is anyone’s guess.
In addition, Pennzoil has shared a behind-the-scenes short that provides insights into the making of “Exorcising the Demon.” It lasts just two minutes and 50 seconds but is certainly worth a watch if you find yourself with some spare time. Trust us, you’ll be glad you made the effort..
