The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 runs the quarter mile in 8.91 seconds at an insane 151.17 mph
earned its place in the history books as the world’s most powerful muscle car and the world’s fastest production car with a 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds. Its 840 hp supercharged 6.2-liter engine was also the most powerful V8 in a production car and it enabled the Demon to have a record breaking quarter-mile time of 9.65 seconds at 140 mph .
Elsewhere, there’s a larger diameter throttle body, upgraded fasteners, and nitride-coated intake valves. The engine also sports upgraded valve guides and seat materials for ethanol compatibility, higher-strength connecting rods, new main and rod bearing materials for increased load capability, and new spark plugs that deliver “optimal combustion with ethanol fuel.”
They’re joined by 43 spline rear half shafts, which benefit from a revised heat treatment process and offer “optimized stiffness for acceleration performance.”The upgrades don’t end there as the Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the “first-ever factory production car built with staggered drag radial tires and fender flares.” As part of this effort, Dodge and Mickey Thompson spent months creating bespoke rubber for the ultimate muscle car.
As for the aforementioned fender setup, the rear has Widebody fender flares while the front doesn’t. Dodge says this helps to save 16 lbs of weight. Besides TransBrake, drivers will find a Torque Reserve function, Launch Control, Line Lock, and Launch Assist. The latter aims to reduce wheel-hop by maximizing tire contact during launches.
