The car unlocks the total horsepower when it detects enough alcohol in the fuel mixture. Previous Demons offered a special red key fob that could unlock the full power. The Challenger SRT Demon 170 only comes with red key fobs.

The Challenger SRT Demon 170 comes with a ton of drag-racing modifications

The Challenger SRT Demon 170 is street-legal. But it comes with several drag-racing modifications. Dodge says the camshaft is the only power component of the engine that was not modified. It comes with Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials and fender flares that are staggered with the front tires. It also has Dodge’s TransBrake 2.0, a drag mode suspension, a revised rear suspension that further increases the contact patch and an SRT Power Chiller that diverts the AC to cool the 3.0-liter supercharger’s intercooler.

Opting for the two-piece carbon fiber wheels can bring the weight down to 157 lbs lighter than the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody.

Dodge will modify it into basically what you want

Dodge offers the Challenger SRT Demon 170 with 14 different exterior color options. The interior can be anything from just a driver’s seat in lightweight cloth to fully appointed Black Nappa leather and Alcantara or Demonic Red Laguna leather interiors.

How much does the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 cost?

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170: 1,025 HP of Corn-Fueled Insanity (6)

Starting MSRP for the Challenger SRT Demon 170 is $96,666 (get it?). Dodge will add a destination and handling charge on top of that. The production run will be limited to 3,000 in America and 300 in Canada. The cars will come with a custom Demon-styled decanter with the owner’s name and Vin, coasters, rocks glasses and (far less usefully) whiskey cubes.

Dodge will reign in their “power brokers” a bit. Dealers can still offer the Challenger SRT Demon 170 for above MSRP. But orders that come in at MSRP will receive priority for fulfillment.

Ordering begins on March 27, 2023. Deliveries will start in Q3 2023.
