![]() Leaving the line on a prepped surface, this thing can pull more than two g. Make no mistake, this is a mother of violence. Get it all hooked up on the right surface and you can send the Demon 170 to 60 mph in 1.66 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 8.91 seconds and 151.17 mph as certified by the NHRA. ![]() This is a 6.2-liter Mopar V8 like we’ve never seen before.Īll of that herculean grunt goes through an eight-speed automatic gearbox with a revised transbrake for drag launches and a revised output flange, a driveshaft that’s 30 percent stronger than a standard item, a 240mm rear axle, and 43-spline CV shafts to 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radial tires.

A new fuel rail and injectors can throw 164 gallons of fuel per hour, which ought to drain a stock Challenger 18.5-gallon fuel tank very quickly at full chat.

Yes, this absolutely batshit final edition unlocks its full potential on ethanol. This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 and it’s the most powerful street-legal factory-produced muscle car ever.
