In high-performance vehicles, the Dodge muscle car presented here isn’t merely a concept; it’s a dominating force on the racetrack. Clocking in an astounding 0 to 60 acceleration time of just 1.66 seconds, this machine generates an impressive peak g-force of 2.004 Gs, firmly establishing itself as a drag racing phenomenon.
The Demon 170, by Herman Young, is a limited-production powerhouse that demands attention with its extraordinary specifications. Its heart beats with a potent 6.2-liter V8 HEMI engine, boosted by a 3.0-liter supercharger.
This amalgamation of automotive brilliance and performance prowess serves as a testament to engineering excellence. However, with only 3,300 units slated for production, including a mere 300 for Canadian enthusiasts, those eyeing ownership must act swiftly to secure their spot in automotive history.
In its debut race, the Demon 170 showcased its dominance by outperforming a 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, renowned for its 5.2-liter V8 engine delivering 760 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque. Despite modifications potentially boosting Shelby’s power to around 920 hp, it still fell short against the formidable Demon.
Despite an initial setback in the first round, the Supra, featuring a turbocharged stock engine, redeemed itself with an impressive performance, ultimately securing victory in the second race against the relentless Demon. Regrettably, the event at the Texas Motorplex was abruptly cut short due to unexpected rainfall, truncating further races and demonstrations.
