The Dodge Challenger Demon 170 resets the benchmark for drag racing performance for production cars. 0-60 in 1.66 seconds, a quarter mile time of 8.91 seconds, and it’s capable of accelerating above 2 g’s!! The absolutely bonkers Demon is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine, which has a 3.0L supercharger, good for 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque when running on E85 fuel.
Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, as the 0-60 time isn’t quite as good as Dodge claims, if you’re the type of person that believes a 0-60 starts at 0 mph. The video will highlight all the details, and the many disclaimers that go along with this 0-60 time, as well as what the real 0-60 time is. In addition, we’ll look at how important the vehicle’s center of gravity is, and analyze the Demon in several different real world scenarios to discuss what the 0-60 times might be under various conditions. Regardless of any nonsense, the Dodge Demon 170 is genuinely an incredible feat of engineering. Hat’s off to Dodge!
