Kneeling at the altar of horsepower is the growling 1025-hp Dodge
SRT Challenger Demon 170a machine built by blood and iron in
Ontario, Canada. The street-legal drag-strip special looks a lot
like the previous Demon (limited to a one-year run for 2018), but
this time Dodge's development team has completed all the necessary
rituals to summon a four-digit horsepower figure from the pinnacle
of the brands iconic Hellcat V-8. The steroidal supercharged
6.2-liter needs E85 gasoline to make full power, and that 170-proof
ethanol fuel mixture inspires its namesake. Even with 91-octane
gas, the 170 still makes an insane 900 horses. The 2023 Demon 170
is simply an outrageous send-off to what were already some of the
wildest muscle cars on the planet.The Demon 170's most devilish
detail is under the hood. Bolted between its fenders is a
supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 with so many internal improvements
versus its predecessor that the only thing the two engines share is
a camshaft. Burning E85, the 170s mill produces 1025 horsepower and
945 pound-feet of torque. If thats not available at the pump,
91-octane will provide 900 horses and 810 pound-feet. The
reinforced and upgraded parts spread to the driveline where theres
a stronger driveshaft and beefier rear axle. Gearchanges are still
handled by an eight-speed automatic, and a new and improved
transmission brake brings configurable launch settings. The Demon
170 rolls on Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires, size 245/55R-18 in
front and a gigantic 315/50R-17 out back. Dodge claims it eked out
a quarter-mile time of 8.61 seconds at 151 mph but needed a prepped
surface to do it. Same for its 60-mph claim of 1.66 seconds. All
vehicles are subject to a reconditioning fee of up to $2000 for all
qualifying vehicles.Sales tax in your County title and tags not
