2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 vs. Dodge EV - Drag showdown, find out who won

At the back parking lot of Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena CA, the Chrysler engineers jumped into these two cars and drag raced the heck out of them. Wanna guess who won? Here is the details: The race across the parking lot wasn't measured, but it was easily an eighth of a mile or more. The contenders are a 268-hp Dodge EV electric car vs. a 425-hp Dodge Challenger SRT8. Where do you put your money?

The Dodge EV gets an obvious jump on the Challenger off the line. We know that torque build up from electric cars are very powerful. Traction issues aside, the SRT8 still couldn't run-down the EV. In the second race, the Challenger hooked better, but it still wasn't enough. The engineer driving the Challenger told us that with some more practice, he could cut down the wheelspin haha...
