Make no mistake, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT® Demon 170 is not just another muscle car; it’s a statement. This limited-production beast, boasting the first-ever production HEMI® engine to breach the 1,000-horsepower mark, is engineered to dominate. Think of it as the ultimate Charger Demon, ready to electrify the competition and etch its name in the annals of automotive legend. Officially banned by the NHRA in its stock configuration, this demon charger clocks an astounding 8.91-second quarter-mile at 151.17 mph, straight off the factory floor.
The brilliance behind this powerhouse lies in its adaptability. Fueled by a red key and an intelligent powertrain control module, the Demon 170 dynamically adjusts horsepower based on ethanol content in the fuel. Whether you’re running premium or high-ethanol blends, this system optimizes fueling and spark timing to unleash the car’s maximum potential. This intelligent fuel system ensures peak “charger demon” performance regardless of fuel type.
But what exactly does it take to achieve a staggering 40% boost increase, catapult from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 1.66 seconds, and generate a record-breaking 2.004 Gs of acceleration – the highest g-force of any production car? It’s a symphony of next-level engineering, relentless determination, rigorous testing, and an unwavering passion to deliver unparalleled performance for the Brotherhood of Muscle. This isn’t just about raw power; it’s about meticulously crafted performance enhancements across the board.
Key upgrades include a modified 3.0L supercharger, fortified driveline components, TransBrake 2.0 for lightning-fast launches, a uniquely tuned drag mode suspension, and a commanding staggered widebody design. These elements work in concert to make the Challenger SRT Demon 170 the ultimate “charger demon” on both the track and the street.
