THE DODGE CHALLENGER DEMON 170

Following the demise of the original in 1974, and a brief foray as a rebadged Mitsubishi in the '80s, the Challenger badge finally reappeared in 2008 after a long hiatus. Mopar fans rejoiced at the news that it was attached to a proper 2-door, rear drive hardtop with an optional V8 engine. Finally, Dodge owners had a car to compete with the Mustang and Camaro. Much like the 1970 original, a wide range of engines and options were offered, and when the engineers from Chrysler's in-house skunkworks SRT got a hold of it, it rose to be a formidable muscle car, with subsequent versions pushing the envelope of what a showroom-delivered streetcar could do.

Following an enormously successful 2015 facelift led by consummate car guy and SRT boss/Design Director Ralph Gilles, the Challenger was revamped to accept myriad new versions of the Hemi V8, up to and including the mighty 700bhp supercharged 'Hellcat.' Now, the Challenger was in a class of its own.

But Dodge wasn't done. Following the announcement that the V8 Challenger was nearing the end of production; Dodge revealed a series of 'Last Call' models celebrating one of the final bastions of old-school American V8 power. It culminated with the 2023 SRT Demon 170 and its heavily revised Hellcat engine topped with a 3-liter supercharger, belting out 1,025bhp when filled with E85, or 'just' 900bhp on pump gas. The Demon 170's sole purpose is to tear up drag strips in the spirit of the classic factory Super Stock cars of the '60s. Under ideal conditions on a prepped surface, it is capable of hitting 60mph in 1.66 seconds (!) and storming the quarter mile in 8.91 seconds (!!), generating a face-melting 2.004 Gs and easily vanquishing hypercars that cost nearly 10 times as much. God Bless America!

THE CAR OFFERED

This 2023 SRT Demon 170 is presented in optional Go Mango paint, over black Alcantara upholstery. Car number 2531, it is essentially in new condition, with only 15 miles recorded at cataloguing. It is about as close to a new SRT Demon 170 as one can get today.

The accompanying window sticker shows a myriad of options, chief among them include the Hellcat Redeye Widebody package, Premium Group, and of course, the SRT Demon 170 package. Aside from that mountain of a supercharged engine, the Demon package includes Brembo 4-piston calipers, sound insulation delete, a transmission brake (line lock), 240mm rear axle, drag tires on 17 x 11 rear wheels, and much more.

One of the most incredible race-cars-for-the-street to ever roll out of a Detroit automaker's factory, this Demon 170 is an instant collectible if there ever was one. Even at twice its original sticker price, the explosively accelerative, flag-waving, tire-shredding 1,025 horsepower Demon 170 is surely one of the performance car bargains of the century.
