Already banned by the NHRA in its stock configuration, this New Challenger Srt Demon 170 achieves a certified quarter-mile time of just 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph, instantly establishing itself as a legend.
The heart of this beast is a recalibrated powertrain control module that intelligently adjusts fueling and spark timing based on the ethanol content in the fuel. With just the red key, the horsepower output adapts, ensuring optimal performance whether you’re running on premium or high-ethanol blends. This sophisticated system unlocks the full potential of this groundbreaking machine.

Extensive upgrades, including a modified 3.0L supercharger, enhanced driveline components, TransBrake 2.0, and a unique drag-tuned suspension, all contribute to its unparalleled performance. The staggered widebody design not only looks aggressive but also enhances stability and handling at high speeds.
