The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is one of the wildest muscle cars ever to leave an American factory. With over 1,000 horsepower available on ethanol-rich fuel, it was built to dominate the drag strip rather than chase lap times.
Although production ended with the 2023 model year, exceptionally low-mileage examples sometimes appear on the used market. One such car has surfaced at Vanguard Motor Sales, with just 244 miles showing on its odometer.
Finished in B5 Blue, this particular Demon 170 looks practically untouched, but it carries a hefty asking price. Vanguard Motor Sales wants $179,900 for the supercharged Challenger, well above the model’s original starting MSRP.
That’s a serious amount for a modern Dodge, even one with such extraordinary performance credentials. However, the Demon 170’s limited production and increasingly unusual powertrain help explain its appeal to collectors.
Over 1,000 Horsepower From A Supercharged V8
Under the hood sits a heavily modified 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. On E85 fuel, Dodge rates the engine at 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque.
Running on conventional E10 gasoline reduces output to 900 horsepower and 810 lb-ft. Either way, the Demon 170 is an exceptionally powerful factory-built muscle car.
Dodge originally claimed a 0–60 mph time of 1.66 seconds and an 8.91-second quarter-mile at 151.17 mph under ideal conditions. Those figures helped establish the Demon 170 as one of the quickest factory-built cars ever offered for the drag strip.
A Nearly Unused Example In B5 Blue
This particular Challenger wears striking B5 Blue paint, contrasting black exterior details, and the distinctive yellow splitter guards. Its factory wheels are fitted with drag-focused tires, emphasizing the car’s straight-line intentions.
Inside, black leather and Alcantara upholstery create a relatively restrained cabin compared with the outrageous performance on tap. The seller’s photographs show a clean engine compartment and underbody, although some wear is visible on the driver’s seat bolster.
With only 244 miles recorded, the car has barely covered enough distance to stretch its legs, making it an appealing prospect for collectors.
Nearly $180,000 For A Modern Muscle Car
When new, the Demon 170 carried a starting MSRP of $96,666 before options and fees. This example’s $179,900 asking price represents a substantial premium over that original figure.
Prices have cooled since the model’s earliest resale frenzy, but exceptionally low-mileage cars can still command ambitious asking prices. Whether this particular example finds a buyer at nearly $180,000 remains to be seen.
