The muscle car era in America is winding down and automakers are pushing the limits with their final V8 models. Dodge’s farewell includes the 2023 Challenger SRT^® Demon 170, boasting 1,025 hp and 945 lb-ft of torque. Dodge friend and well-known drag racer Tom Bailey took delivery of his SRT Demon 170 this fall and hasn’t wasted any time putting it to the test. Watch the video below as Tom Bailey spends the break-in period for his SRT Demon 170 road tripping from Tennessee to Florida and then heads straight to the drag strip to try to match Dodge’s 8.91-second quarter-mile. Let us know in the comments if you’ve caught any SRT Demon 170s at the drag strip!
