Performance and Background on the Challenger SRT Demon 170 –

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is renowned for its incredible performance. It can reach 60 mph in just 1.66 seconds. Running on an E85 ethanol blend delivers an astounding 1,025 horsepower at 6,500 pm and 945 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm. Even with standard pump gas (E10), the Demon 170 still produces a formidable 900 horsepower and 810 lb.-ft. of torque.

This power level makes the Demon 170 the first factory muscle car in history to achieve an 8-second 1/4-mile, with a certified NHRA time of 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph. However, this performance also includes an NHRA violation letter banning the car from running sub-9-second 1/4 miles without additional safety equipment like a cage and parachute.

The Demon 170 has massive drag radials, including 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials at the rear and 245/55R18 ET Street front tires. These tires and the new D170 Street Rim Kit ensure the vehicle delivers maximum grip and performance, on the drag strip.

Pricing and Availability – 

The Forged Aluminum D170 Street Rim Kit is available for a U.S. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $3,945. This kit offers a practical solution for Demon 170 owners who want to enjoy their car daily, regardless of road conditions.
