The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT® Demon 170 has arrived, and it’s not here to play nice. This limited-production marvel, boasting the first-ever factory-production engine to exceed 1,000 horsepower, is engineered to dominate. 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.
But how does the new Challenger SRT Demon 170 achieve a staggering 40% boost increase, launch 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? The answer lies in relentless engineering, unwavering determination, and a deep passion for pushing boundaries. 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.
