The 2023 Dodge Challenger Srt Demon 170 has arrived, and it’s making no apologies for its raw power. This limited-production, final “Last Call” special edition is engineered to dominate, boasting the first-ever production HEMI engine to cross the 1,000 horsepower threshold. It’s so potent that the NHRA has already banned it in stock form due to its certified quarter-mile time of 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph.
The heart of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is its groundbreaking powertrain. Fueled by a recalibrated powertrain control module, it intelligently optimizes fueling and spark timing based on ethanol content, unleashing maximum horsepower with a red key and high-ethanol blends. This sophisticated system allows the Demon 170 to achieve a staggering 40% boost increase, launching from 0-60 mph in a mere 1.66 seconds. Drivers will experience an unprecedented 2.004 Gs of force, the highest g-force acceleration in any production car. This level of performance is the result of relentless engineering, rigorous testing, and a deep passion for pushing the boundaries of muscle car capability.
Key upgrades contributing to this phenomenal performance include an enhanced 3.0L supercharger, fortified driveline components, TransBrake 2.0, a uniquely tuned drag mode suspension, and a distinctive staggered widebody design. These enhancements work in harmony to deliver unmatched power and control on the drag strip and beyond.
