FIRST LOOK! Dodge's Hellcat-powered, street-legal drag racer has been reincarnated with more power and even crazier 0–60 quarter-mile claims. Read More:
The Hellcat era is ending the same way it began back in 2015: with an obscene amount of horsepower, a devil-may-care attitude, and almost complete indifference toward handling.SRT Demon 170—the last of Dodge's Last Call combustion muscle cars—is a 1,025-hp street-legal drag racer that rolls out of the factory with the claimed ability to rip off a 1.66-second 0-60 time and an 8.91-second quarter mile at 151.2 mph on a prepped dragstrip.
Unlike the 2018 Demon, the new car doesn't require the owner to prep it with a pair of pizza-cutter front wheels or a special engine computer or race gas to make the numbers. To deliver its full 1,025 hp and 945 lb-ft, the Demon 170's 6.2-liter V-8 needs only a tank full of E85, an ethanol-rich fuel that costs less than premium unleaded and is easily found at gas stations across the country. It'll run on premium gas, as well, but output falls to a mere 900 hp and 810 lb-ft.
Although the car can technically run the 8.9-second quarter mile as you drive it off the dealer lot, you'll be hard-pressed to find a track that will let you do just that. Should you master the Demon's nuances and slip under a 9.0-second quarter mile, you'll need both a roll cage and a parachute to run at any NHRA-sanctioned event.
