Getting hilarious how many versions of challengers there are. I'm waiting for the "Final Edition. No Seriously, This is It," Edition, and the subsequent "Ok, One More Time,
" Edition. |

It's a shame the world is becoming more and more class specific. That was always the thing about SRT, it was a bit more focused on "regular guys" that's were willing to spend a little more and get some that was more badass.
I get why they do stuff like this, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. |

My cure for the drop off of the battery due to lack of sufficient use was to drive the car more. I ended up using it 2 days a week to drive to/from work, 60 miles round trip. This was in northern CA (Livemore CA) and in that area winter driving was not a problem. Winter in Livermore was really just cloudy days... |

IDGAD what nobody says... Low 9's in the wild is BONKERS QUICK!!!
The only time I've driven that quick was in a custom TT Audi R8 which costs significantly more than this Dodge. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2023...ragstrip-pass/ 2023 Dodge Demon 170 Runs Low 9s in the Wild First privately owned “Last Call” Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 makes dragstrip pass in 9.39 seconds going over 147mph.

Dang, why is everybody hating? In a world of everything being mild hybrid, awd, with tons of safety systems in place what’s not to love here?
Of course it’s ridiculous and of course it suck’s to drive on the street. It’s a 1,025 hp rwd death trap that makes cool noises. I love it 😂 |

What a sad bunch of insecure BMW owners…if you cant appreciate a factory drag car with number plates in this age of EV’s & the like then i feel sorry for you because you really have no clue.
Nothing reeks of inexperience with performance cars more than a ‘badge’ fanboy.

It's pretty lame when a factory drag car in perfect conditions with a perfect launch can't beat a nobody drinking a soy latte in a Tesla who just needs to mash a pedal.

Also cool that the "170" refers to the "proof" of the E85 fuel that it runs fastest on. A Challenger or Demon never suited my wants/needs, but I never rank on someone else's car love. All of the car guys that I know, appreciate all forms of special cars. It is also highly unlikely anyone will lose money on a Demon 170, as opposed to nearly every other car out there, including a Tesla.

And that is the point. Supposing that I put the hurt on a "track car" in a stoplight race and/or a highway pull, I am not going to ever hear him muttering to himself, that he would beat me at a road course.
Plus, I don't have to fling my car into a curve to feel the massive torque each and every time I accelerate in my day-to-day driving. I love that. In reality, nearly every automaker has actually gone from fast-in-a-straight line to a much better balance, except Dodge - and more power to them. Pun intended. I would call attention to the Camaro SS 1LE, as a perfect example. Or the base C8 corvette. Or the last generation of GT500 and GT350, which proved very capable on the track. Both Camaro and Mustang were one-trick ponies roughly 10 years ago. Corvettes roots were straight line performance. BMW may have gone the other way, according to many aficionados, adding more weight and more power. But the F90 M5 is certainly a good balance of power and handling, even so. A 10-second street car that can handle turns is pretty impressive.
