AUCTION: 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon HPE1200!

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon became an instant icon. The limited-edition street-legal drag racer was the fastest mass-produced production car, upon its release. But there is a rare breed of enthusiasts out there, who believe that 840 horsepower just isn’t enough for them. So, those usually look for more performance elsewhere.
