"Dodge has created many super powerful Challengers over the muscle
car's long production run, but none so formidable as the Demon 170.
Packing a modified version of the Hellcat V8, the Demon 170 makes
enormous power and is purpose built for drag racing. The 170 in its
name indicates the alcohol proof of the E85 ethanol fuel it runs
on. Consider it a swansong for the Challenger as this generation
prepares to meet its end." MotorTrend, 2023
For consignment, a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Hardtop with
a title verified 3,113 actual miles. About 3,000 170's were
allocated to the U.S. and another 300 for Canada. This is a track
proven example, getting into the 9's consistently in stock
configuration. Prior to that, meticulous care was given to adhere
to Dodge's break in process.
Exterior
Of those 3,000 American Demons produced, just 245 of them were
painted the aptly named White Knuckle, keeping alive Dodge's
inclinations on clever color names. One of the features that
separates this car from sub 800hp models is the long horizontal
hood scoop, dressed in matte black with that color optionally
appearing on the roof and decklid where it meets a spoiler. Up
front you'll find one of the more pioneering features to come along
in the muscle car world in a while; the use of inside light lenses
as air intakes while still maintaining the ability to illuminate.
Keeping that power to the ground, at least on the back half, are
17-inch wheels with 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson with a late 2025 date
code. The front might get some air time and are fitted with 18-inch
wheels and 55 series tires with a late 2022 date code.
Imperfections include some scuffs and light chin spoiler
scrapes.
Interior
Demonic Red leather inserts brighten up the black doors and that
vibrancy continues on the bucket seats and yes, rear bench! The
fronts are particularly supportive and stamped with the devilish
170 logo. Up front is the meaty steering wheel with thumb buttons
than your texting teenager, fronting a red faced gauge cluster. But
the real action is in the programmable center screen where you can
do everything from listen to the full service AM/FM/CD radio,
change every aspect of the drive mode, see what's behind you, and
fine tune your drag performance with a plethora of options. Plus,
it will report your stats back to you with pinpoint accuracy and
save it for Cars and Coffee bragging rights. Oh, you can also
navigate. The center console is carbon fiber trimmed and houses the
shifter, while black carpet is low pile and likely not adding much
weight. The trunk is finished with gray panels and holds the
Harman/Kardon subwoofer box.
Drivetrain
The king of the hill emerges as a 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi V8
factory rated at 1,025 horsepower on E85 and 900 on E10 fuel. After
a 145 mph track run, the car reported 1,106 horsepower to our
consignor. It's mated to an 8HP90 TorqueFlite 8-speed transmission
with a TransBrake and routes power to the rear axle with 3.09 gears
and mechanical limited slip.
Undercarriage
Kudos to the track crew and thanks to low mileage, the underside
remains clean and only shows signs of light usage. Dual exhaust
runs through all original equipment including resonators and the
four wheel power disc brakes include Brembo 6-piston units in
front. The fully independent suspension includes the tuned 170 Drag
suspension, Macpherson struts in front and coil springs in
back.
Drive-Ability
Rather than risk 32nds in the tread, we feather Goliath's chariot
around the test loop finding a pleasurable ride at pedestrian
speeds, one that would make a store run or family trip fairly
typical and uneventful. But with some computer programming on the
center screen and a solid right foot, the sleeping giant has the
capability of tearing up tarmac and planting people into the red
leather. We find the essential functions work on this low mileage
legend and it's off to find a showroom spot. While Classic Auto
Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of
our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working
at the time of your purchase.
In 2018, the 808 horsepower Dodge Demon was introduced and set the
automotive world ablaze. But clearly, Dodge had more up its sleeve
which it revealed in the even more powerful Demon 170 in 2023. Is
the poker game over? It would be hard to top this incredible
machine. Here's your opportunity to own a rare piece of automotive
history.
