2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170: Those Tires
The Demon 170 is the first production car ever to wear Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials right from the factory — basically, drag racing slicks with just enough tread to be legal.

Demon 170: Those Flares
Notice something a little lopsided about the Demon 170? That’s right: It’s got the Widebody flares on the rear, but not on the front. Dodge says leaving the front flares off saves 17 pounds.
Challenger Demon
Yep, there’s our guy, sitting on top of the supercharger just like he was in the last Demon. Only this time, he’s got a little “170" next to him — because E85 ethanol blend is 170-proof.
Demon Stagger
The skinny front tires are mounted on 18-inch wheels, while the monster rear slicks are wrapped around 17s.
Wheelie Time
Yup, it’ll put both front wheels in the sky.
Wheelie Time 2
File under “photos I can hear.”
Wheelie Time, Pt. 3
This will never get old.
Demon Breathing
The Demon 170 gets the same enormous hood scoop we first saw on the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
Alcohol Fed
The “Air Grabber” hood scoop does have one additional detail on the Demon 170: The phrase “alcohol injected” is etched along the rim of the scoop.
Smoke ‘Em
With 1,025 hp, this thing does the mother of all burnouts.
Challenger Demon 170
The big-and-little wheel and tire combo looks great, if you ask me.
NHRA Says: Not Legal
The NHRA won’t let a stock Demon on a drag strip, because any car that runs faster than 9 seconds in the quarter-mile needs a roll bar and a parachute.
Direct Connection Has You Covered
Good thing Mopar Direct Connection sells a bolt-on parachute for drag racing!
Meaty
Dodge had to modify the rear suspension to get those enormous Mickey Thompson drag tires to fit.
Wide Open
Dodge also removed the fender liners for better airflow to the engine.
Corn Demon
Dodge updated the Demon logo with — we’re not kidding — a “170 neck tattoo” referencing the alcohol proof of E85. The little guy also gets yellow eyes in tribute to the corn that gives American gasoline its ethanol content. He’s called the Corn Demon.
Spoiled
That’s a mighty big spoiler.
Covered
Dodge will sell you a custom Goodwool car cover that’s customized to make your Demon 170 look like a low-poly NPC car in a video game.
Slide Title
The cover makes your Challenger look like it’s wearing a Challenger disguise. Of course, it’s got the Corn Demon on the fender.
Last Call
The Demon 170 is the very last of the seven “Last Call” special-edition Challengers, and as such, it gets a commemorative plaque.
Supercharged
The 3.0-liter supercharger is the largest ever fitted to a factory-stock street-legal car.
Corn Demon Pt. 2
There he is again.
No Lack of Plaques
You can custom order a Demon plaque for the dashboard that features the last four digits of your Demon 170's VIN.
Red Key Only
Previous supercharged Dodge muscle cars have come with a black key that limits power, and a red key that gives you the full engine output. For the Demon 170, all the keys are red.
Time For a Drink
Dodge really went all-out with the booze theme for the Demon 170: Each car comes with a tumbler and decanter set, etched with the owner’s name and the VIN of their Demon 170.
Hungry
This is the last thing you see before your entire body becomes enveloped in tire smoke.
Demon 170 Dashboard
Dodge released a bunch of photos of the Demon 170's instrument panel and its many displays. Let’s scroll through them all, together.
