The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is absolutely unbelievable. To think that you can walk into a dealership and buy a car that delivers 1,025 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 945 Ib.-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm on E85 fuel and crosses the quartermile trap in an NHRA-certified 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph...well, that is the stuff dreams are made of. Apparently Dodge wanted to prove that they are the biggest and the baddest and wanted to break records with a production car, and they have done it. A factory car that hits 60 mph in 1.66 seconds...think about that...1.66 seconds! This is indeed the fastest and most powerful muscle car ever produced. Period.

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 series production volume will be limited to not more than 3,300 total units, and if you want to talk about collectability, this is a guaranteed collector car that will definitely go up in value...exponentially. Odds are, like the other hyper-rare supercars, the “market adjustment” for the SRT Demon 170 will be six figures. Like the Ford GT and certain Ferraris, Porsches, and Lamborghinis, my guess is you will have to be “someone” to get your hands on one or be ready to write a hefty check. It would be well worth it.

As we approach the end of the internal combustion engine, it appears that Dodge wanted to go out in full glory. Offering a vehicle so over the top that it is, as aforementioned, unbelievable. To get this much performance from the factory with a warranty is unfathomable. If you have ever built a race car or even restored a car, you know how much horsepower costs—this type of horsepower, reliable horsepower, from the factory. Well, to the Dodge team, you dreamed big, and you did it. Well done. And again, unbelievable! For more information, visit dodgegarage.com. n
