The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170: A Beast Unleashed
Brace yourself, car enthusiasts! This isn’t your everyday ride. The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is one of those mythical creatures in the automotive world, barely seen, much less driven by mere mortals. Out of the blue, a total of 39 allocations – which is practically zero in car world numbers – were tossed to a few top-performing dealerships via a secretive sales contest. The heart of this beast is a mighty supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi High-Output V8, blaring out up to 1,025 horsepower and an equally staggering 945 lb-ft of torque. This power is masterfully handled by a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission paired with a limited-slip differential.
Mango Glaze Over Stealth
What’s on the outside? This limited-edition wonder shines in a bold Go Mango finish, contrasting starkly with the black Alcantara and lush Laguna leather interior. Among its treasure trove of features, the demon carries the Premium Group equipment package, wickedly bright Air-Catcher HID headlights, an SRT Performance rear spoiler, and flared rear bodywork. Toss in some trailblazing four-piston Brembo brake calipers and a set of uncompromisingly stylish 18″ front and 17″ rear forged aluminum wheels. Comfort reigns with heated and ventilated front seats, serenaded by the Harman Kardon audio system.
Previously listed on Bring a Trailer in May 2024, this SRT Demon 170 now boasts a mere 9 miles on its odometer and comes bearing a clean Texas title under the seller’s name.
Last Call for a Legend
Marking the finale in the legendary run of the Charger and Challenger line-up, the Demon 170 stands as the ultimate farewell edition in Dodge’s Last Call series. Exhibit A: An intriguing Air-Grabber hood emblazoned with “Alcohol Injected” on its scoop bezel. Besides the jaw-dropping Go Mango, more eye-candy arrives in the form of a fiercely intimidating front splitter with signature yellow scuff guards, and yes, those ambient Air-Catcher HID headlights again, restyled bodywork, twin exhausts, and a sneaky SRT Performance rear spoiler equipped with a rearview camera. An added touch of mystery – the dealer-prepped window tint.
A Touch of Black Magic
Adding to its allure, black aluminum wheels from the 18″ front and 17″ rear series have been fitted with Mickey Thompson ET Street front and ET Street R rear tires. Need to stop on a dime? The Demon’s black four-piston Brembo calipers with SRT lettering over ventilated discs should do the trick. The custom-fit Drag Mode suspension with adaptive-damping shocks promises even more thrills, as do launch control and a re-engineered transbrake.
New levels of driving control to ignite your inner race car driver!
Certainly not one to forget, window locks and other safety features came through the package of Grapevine Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Wagoneer’s protection plan.
Attention to Detail
Inside, treats galore await: heated and ventilated front seats and a sleek rear bench, both ridged in soft black Alcantara and Laguna leather. Within the dash, carbon-fiber trim adds an extra touch of sophistication. The Premium Group extras? A suede headliner, premium-stitched dash, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and an amplified 18-speaker Harman Kardon system with trunk-mounted subwoofer. Boredom is not an option, with remote start, dual-zone climate control, and a UConnect infotainment system reloaded with navigation, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay capability, boasting an eraser for pesky road noise comparably missing from standard challengers. Safety first, a theft recovery system is also fitted.
Heart of a Demon
Now, about the star under the hood: a 6.2-liter Hemi High-Output V8 turbocharged with a 3.0-liter beast of a supercharger, featuring a 3.02″ pulley, a hefty 105mm throttle body, a souped-up fuel system, and hardcore Nitride-coated intake valves. Fitted with copper-lead bearings and fortified cylinder head studs, this engine doesn’t just growl, it roars. Mind the flex of automatic horsepower calibration, too. Normal fuel gives you a thrilling 900 horsepower at 810 lb-ft torque. Pour in some E85, and unleash full-demon mode at 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft. The whole symphony’s cooled by a crafty SRT Power Chiller using A/C refrigerants to chill these pipes.
Conclusion
And under the hood lies a “Last Call” plaque, a sentimental shoutout near the driver’s side headlight. Power thunders forth thanks to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic, 3.09:1 limited-slip differential adequately armored and with a 240mm ring gear. An improved rear prop shaft and 43-spline rear half shafts let you handle the beast effectively.
This piece of muscle calls for the daring. It’s not just a car, it’s a legacy.
A letter boasts about this late release, allocated because Grapevine Dodge aced the Demon 170 contest hustle. A nifty window sticker addendum totes a not-too-shabby $1,988 in dealer-installed extras like window tint, wheel locks, and theft recovery, bringing this mean machine’s total tag to $123,334. A Carfax report shines brightly, free from accident marks or damage scars, poised at the starting gates of its next journey.
