There’s no denying the Powercruise “No-Prep” Street Outlaw Series being held on the main straight at Sydney Motorsport Park has become one of the most talked about street car drag racing events in the country, with many of the Pro-Street big hitters coming out to take part. So I’ve decided to run a Street Outlaws Top 20 List each month to show who the big movers and shakers are. Gates open to Spectators and Entrants from 5.30pm with racing set to happen between 6.30pm and 10.30pm. Always check the Powercruise website: Powercruise.com and the official Street Outlaws Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/StreetOutlawsAustralia

DODGE DEMON’S LAST HURRAH!

Dodge is well-known for doing things a little differently when unveiling a new car – especially something like the Dodge Demon. Those sitting around the table that makes all of those marketing decisions, decided to use their own event – the Dodge Last Call (in collaboration with MotorTrend) to launch their 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. And instead of driving it out onto the drag strip amongst much hype and guitar driven background music, the ultimate Challenger was flown in via Helicopter – hanging on a platform before being dropped onto the strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It certainly made an entrance, and will be fondly remembered by all that was in attendance… So what makes this one so special? Well, for starters, it’s the last in the Hellcat range, so you know Dodge are going to go out with a bang! The numbers don’t lie. How does a 0-100klm in 1.66-seconds sound? Producing that type of grunt comes from the Demon’s 1350hp (at the engine) which also gives the ‘170’ a top speed of in excess of 215mph (over 340klm/h!) and a wheels-up quarter-mile time of 8.90-seconds making it the world’s first 8-second production car! Hell, it even comes with a parachute! At this stage, Dodge claims the starting price will be $96,666 plus taxes etc – but that’s before the dealers take advantage of the limited supply and send pricing through the roof. So I’m guessing that to own one (of which there are 3000 planned for the US and just 300 for Canada), you’d either have to be on the board of Directors at Dodge, head up a major Bank or have connections in Dubai. Good luck with it if you’re in the market. At this stage, Dodge claims the starting price will be $96,666 plus taxes etc – but that’s before the dealers take advantage of the limited supply and send pricing through the roof.
