2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 Ends Dodge's Era of Excess with 1025-HP V-8

[flx2000]

Dodge treats Hellcat fans and taunts haters with this outrageous send-off, an ethanol-fueled street-legal dragster priced at $100K

• The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is a 1025-hp street-legal drag-strip special that signals the end of the brand's V-8 muscle cars.
• Its four-digit horsepower figure requires E85 gasoline, and with that Dodge claims a quarter-mile time of 8.91 seconds at 151 mph on a prepared surface.
• The Demon 170 will cost $100,361 when production starts this July, but only 2500 to 3000 U.S. copies are planned through December 31. It's curtains on V-8 Hellcats after that.

Dodge doesn't believe in the words of Ricky Bobby's daddy: "If you ain't first, you're last."

The storied muscle-car maker has chased taillights throughout its 100-plus-year history. Dodge introduced the original 1970 Challenger well after the 1964.5 Ford Mustang and 1967 Chevy Camaro got the pony-car party started. Compared with those two, the Challenger's production life was cut short. The first generation only lasted until 1974. The second existed from 1978 to 1983, but it was a rebadged Mitsubishi Galant that Mopar purists prefer to forget.

You won't be able get that for $100K. Dealers will be marking them up and collectors will gobble them up. The electric Challengers look good so far.

If I had a few more dollars to blow, I will get one of these. I’m not speed demon but this car is just awesome. Oh you have to hire a security guard when you park the car in certain areas…. hell, you may need a security guard if you part is in your garage. Oh, and one more other thing…. Most of the Kia thieves I could beat there asses right there for trying to steal my car (Yes, I drive a Kia). But those mofos that steal cars like this Dodge you may have to have a semi automatic on you because you are going to get into a gun fight.
