It's been nearly two years since the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon arrived on the scene, and although the car has exited production, it's still making a splash. The latest accolade comes from the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds (JBPG) runway in Merritt Island, Florida. The company claims the runway is one of the flattest in the world and offers superior grip to road surfaces—the kind of place you can take a Bugatti Chiron to its top speed. The site can't compete with prepped drag strips, but the flat surface and three-mile-long runway (with 1,000 feet of runoff) give automakers and...

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is already one hell of a car, but Hennessey Performance Engineering has (of course) gotten a hold of it and made it something more. With the company's HPE1000 package, the Demon makes a whopping 880 horsepower at the rear wheels. That equates to around 1,035 hp at the crank!

Not that owners will be doing much civil driving, but we digress. In the video, the test driver takes the extra demonic Demon down Hennessey's test...

Buy Michael Andretti's barely used Dodge Demon
If someone gifted you a car, would you drive it? I assume you would. Especially if that car happens to be an 840-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
