REVEALED! The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 Ends Dodge's Era of Excess with 1025-HP V8 

Well . I'm not even a car guy but man i will miss this era of dodge

Dodge is no longer cool

@Jacob Fausnightyou sound slow

@Mike Waller they never said it was the last year until this year where have you been ?

People are already trying to unload demons and cats and taking huge impatient losses on them.

Lmfao hell no its still a damn challenger, most will get driven, aint no one making shit in a few years. In 20 years youll make a little bit, but it aint even worth it at that point whos tryna wait 20 years to make 80k way better ways to make money.

Don’t know where you see that… Even used HC going for crazy $$

Yea we get at least 6-7 jailbreaks a week at our dealer in new and majority are going to collectors they don’t even want the interior unwrapped.

@Rock Diesel Not me 💯💯 I know the worth of mine is going to skyrocket so ima have fun and hold on for a few years 😁

fr heartbreaking

Fr… I just turned 22 and I’m getting my life together, but I still have a while until I can drop 100 G’s on a car, and all the good ones will probably be gone by then ;(

@Jack Hagar You will be able to get one someday...will probably drop a lot for it, but will be worth it.

King of muscle? Yeah I beg to differ…

@Cesar Think what you want

@Rich_Forever94 yeah, we all do.

Nobody makes the best car

@JeepCherokeeful yea, perfect car is a very far fetched concept

How many speeding tickets have you amassed and be honest 😂

@Ze Moose I swear on my mom, I’ve never been pulled over before or got any tickets but I’ve had some close calls

​@Ze Moose if it's a RT probably not many.

@Ze Moose I got one in two years not bad

Yours is probably a V6 though. 😂

Easy really, build to the same specs as guys are modding their cars to over 1000 whp and offer it from the factory. Most ones don’t do it because of the warranty issue when people start beating up on them and it isn’t easy to figure out when they pushed beyond what the car was made to do. Then they have to worry about finishing returns on pricing these cars since few can buy them and they make less off them unless they price them ridiculously ( Ferrari/Bugatti prices for a Dodge would be stupid regardless of the performance).

Yep

in before $300k.

In 20 years it will be worth million dollars guaranteed

dodge was sayin somethin about possibly selling it straight from them and not letting dealerships get ahold of em

​@Zydn press x for doubt. They were absolutely worthless in the demon market. Even more so rn. I have no hope for them rn we normal plebs that can almost barely afford and are willing to risk it will never see it under 110k

I was in the same position as you are now. I owned a 1970 Plymouth AAR cuda since 1973 that I absolutely loved and kept for 48 years. But the longer I owned and drove the car which I did, the less and less I enjoyed driving it. Old cars are amazing to own but actually driving them is not so great after a while. They drive pretty crappy, ride pretty crappy, crappy seats with vinyl were quite uncomfortable and made my back and ass sweat to soaking wet, were fast for the time but not so much now, were poorly insulated so heat from the engine bay and exhaust underneath made the car get quite warm inside even on cooler days. And honestly I got sick of the attention the car drew everywhere I went and I got sick of telling the "My cuda" story. So even though I swore I never would I sold the car in 2021 and because the car had appreciated in value so much over the years I was able to buy a brand new '21 Challenger Scat Pak paid in full and boy I gotta tell you SOOOOO much better and way more actual fun to drive. Don't really miss the 'cuda and definitely not sorry I sold it. It was time.....

Then whos buying all the electric cars? And why is the quickest vehicle in the world electric?

@noncog1 I'm not saying there isn't a market for coal powered cars... I'm saying it is artificially boosted by the government/s policies... NOT buyers. The fact that Dodge's president of this division cited MULTIPLE times the regulatory push towards electric kind of makes my point. Case in point... the market wants the sound of an engine or Dodge wouldn't be putting fake noise into their upcoming electric. If the sole driving factor was customer preference there still would be a market for Duracell cars... it would be much smaller however and, maybe, over time they would win over market share... or maybe not. I'd be OK with that... I do NOT like government/s like CA, for example, trying to put laws in place to make gasoline powered cars ILLEGAL. It's antithetical to a free society and frankly, it's stupid when the state cannot produce enough electricity for their needs right now and has no apparent long term plan to address this shortfall except to add drastically to electricity demand with dumb ass bans.

precisely

@Hal Jalikakik the electric cars that actually sell in meaningful numbers dont have fake exhaust sound. As a matter of fact, the only cars you can actually buy with fake exhaust sounds are ice cars. The noises are just an example of dodge selling to an emotional, not logical, customer base, which is why they can milk a 20yo architecture better than anyone else, but also why they cant sell anything to anyone other than their established demographic and all their other products fail. Electric cars are coming, itll be a while before i buy one, but most of the market will shift long before i do. Government incentives absolutely make sense in some areas, this one included. Remember, its government coercion that keeps crime illegal, keeps monopolies at bay, and now tries to keep us from destroying this planet

Everything becomes soulless and horrible when you let Schlomo run everything. Cars are no exception.

YES!! 🎉

@Gigachad TJK solomon was a nice guy

❤ E-cats

Same!!!!!!! I hope that next EV challenger Will be a flop.

no it does not

@Misery Party What does?

@da324 Any muscle car that innovates

@Misery Party FYI, the numbers you can run with a new car with a warranty, straight off the showroom floor, that doesn't also cost most of a million dollars (or more) is innovation.

@Misery Party It absolutely does. To argue otherwise is to show your ignorance. There is nothing, NOTHING, that even touches this. From anyone.

It’s all about the rubber and the suspension. The problem with the typical factory challenger Redeye is they throw lousy tires on them and most people don’t know how to launch them

Obviously that time will be on a highly prepped drag surface only

@matt someone with an SRT yep that’s why the magazine times are usually crap. I’ve seen stock redeyes do 10.3s with a tire swap.

On a regular road with stock tires, more like over 4s. 😂

​@Asian sex symbol (natty fitness) bruh. With those tires it will be probably less than 3 sec.

Not going to school

Not true....I never went to school. I just worked hard and saved. I could buy two of these...but just don't impress me that much. Big heavy boats to me

you, me, we get 20 mates together, hear me out we all put in 5k, I get it Monday morning to Monday afternoon then you so on

@Alabaster who’s paying insurance? Who pays when it gets crashed? Do we all split all the costs all the time? I’d be down. Consider me in 🤘🏻

A good college in STEM

Ford was making factory cars built for the strip, around 200k. Saved the average guy $400,000 in learning curve and parts. This isn't a new idea.

That's exactly what the song " Red Barchetta " by Rush was about. It came out in 1981.

5 years = 50% 10 years = ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Reminds me of that classic Rush song "Red Barchetta" where in future days combustion engine cars are illegal. they should rename the song.

That's not a concern.

Right at the start …..drip drip drip!

When the terminators came out it was like hooooly shit lmaoo good times.

Hennessey will make one with 1500, but that's if they don't blow it up testing other products without asking, or even build it in the first place and keep your 60k deposit

And it will run a 8.7 quarter-mile because it won’t have grip

people already building and racing 2k plus horse 3rd gen hemis

@JuPac better yet we’re about to witness a new generation of people makes these into planes… 🗿

@Zoffy 💀💀💀

Ya but bro I bet it can't do under 10 s quatermile under normal surface

and it sounds much better too

And you get to keep your nuts And it's less kobalt mining by chinese slaves for batteries.

I’d take the demon any day of the week and twice on Sunday but that number from the video about the Dodge was on a “prepared” surface. I’m pretty sure the plaid would still get the hole shot with it’s AWD but the Demon would reel it in by the 1/8th.

@Mark Shank on prep the tesla wouldn't keep up because it's not set up for prep. I don't think the roadster is gonna release in the next 3 years, but even if it does I doubt it will beat the demon 170

For real! What a shame!😢

One last punch for all manufacturers or just Dodge?

@gibz pretty much all manufacturers, I’m confident this will be the fastest quarter mile ICE car in human history

@evan leo cool! Straight lines, not that interesting but hey you're probably right And do you mean production ICE car?

If it was manual it would be running much slower. It's a drag car focused on 1/4 mi times

@TheDumbConspirator it's more a collectible than a drag car. And it'll certainly be used more so as a collectible.

@Ryan Dono let me reword that, dodge intended for this car to be a drag strip car focused on quarter mile times, yes owners will most likely stow it in an air conditioned garage, but dodge meant for it to be a drag strip car focused on quarter mile times.

@TheDumbConspirator not even with a good driver it’d probably just gain a few tenths.

​@john cena good luck getting off the line with a manual in this thing

Challenger Demon Hellraiser, maybe.

It's describing the car. When you have 1000hp under your foot and you pull up to a red light who's really in control?

@Hostile Aksthe tires lol

​@net gnostic demon hellraiser would be perfect

I hope so 😂

The original Demon was produced in 1971 . These new ones are just tarted up Challengers .

🤣

My favorite color is ham

900k

Perfection?? It's a FIAT product!!!😂

@Jeff Miller right...

@Jeff Miller Cry more 😢

@Kronk that’s literally all you can say? cry more? cope harder motard, nothing special about a dodge fundamentally.

It’s just not a dodge it really isn’t

"If EVs take hold?"? Mate, most major manufacturers have already given dates for their last ICE cars. We are at the pinnacle of gasoline performance. In the muscle car era it was unthinkable that one of the big 3 could release an 800-1000hp street car with a warranty (and emissions controls!). Enjoy it while it lasts. EVs are the way forward.

I've got a 6 speed, 5.7L 2013 Challenger RT with less than 25K miles on it & am in love with this car! At 63 years old, I plan to have it til I die & thankfully do not have to drive it in Ohio winters. One day I was at the store & a lady about my age was walking by as I started the car to leave. She flagged me to roll my window down & said "Now that is how a car should sound." Made my day

@Matt Agnew Not my way forward :-) I have the funds to purchase a new Challenger but i personally feel the 70 model is a better looking car. So, im going back. No electronics to interfere with my driver input and no one can remotely turn it off either.

He knows. Doesn’t take a genius to understand he’s merely referring to the Challenger Demon.

I guess the history is unimportant to them. The OG 1971 Demon will always be my favorite.

Also 24, at this rate I’ll feel lucky if I can just get a regular RT lol.

Yep...50K + markups.
