I still cannot figure how the Bugatti Chiron which is significantly more powerful and with more torque than the Dodge Demon is beat by it from 0-60 and on the drag strip.

Is it the gear box ratio, weight difference?

Does the Demon have launch control?

Without the specs, I would guess gearing and weight.

Set them up the same and likely a far different outcome.

Was me, would not want to drive something with the aerodynamics of a Demon much past 140.

Mostly has to do with piston speed.
The only way of moving beyond 175-200 mph is add more cylinders.
