Nowhere was the shift to high-power vehicles more apparent than at Dodge. The automaker unleashed the long-awaited Challenger SRT Demon, which will replace the Viper as the brand’s flagship offering. It’s a lighter, more powerful version of the popular Challenger SRT Hellcat.
The Demon will be the first car to come from the factory with drag radials, or tires specifically designed for drag racing. The car can also be ordered with a toolbox that allows customers to make last-minute modifications at the drag strip to eke out extra speed, along with a specialized engine computer that can be optimized for racing fuel.
The price has yet to be announced, but expect the Demon to ring in above the Hellcat’s $64,195 starting price. Regardless of price, Dodge says no stock production car will beat the Demon in a quarter-mile drag race. Also, it does wheelies.
