The bright flash at the first split second is also slightly different (and it looks better). Sometimes, it freezes and fades out after the animation finishes. Then it cuts into a black screen a second later. There is no bright flash at the end, instead, the logo dissolves into debris. The animation at the first 10 approximate seconds is mostly the same, but there is no "PRESENTS" under the logo.


The 170 comes standard with a single cloth driver’s seat, but the one we sampled had both front buckets wrapped in optional nappa leather. Interior, Comfort, and Cargoĭespite its significant horsepower increase, the new Demon’s interior doesn't differ much from any other Dodge Challenger model. For more information about the Demon's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. These ratings will obviously take another hit when racing down the local drag strip. We haven’t seen figures this low in a while, but the government estimates 13 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Its EPA estimates aren't favorable in terms of gas savings. The Demon 170 is where gasoline goes to die in rapid succession if that wasn’t already obvious by listening to its earth-shaking rumble.

#Speed demons logos update
We haven't yet tested the new Demon 170 (and we may never get the chance to), but we'll update this space if we do. Same for its 60-mph claim of 1.66 seconds. Dodge claims it eked out a quarter-mile time of 8.61 seconds at 151 mph but needed a prepped surface to do it. The Demon 170 rolls on Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires, size 245/55R-18 in front and a gigantic 315/50R-17 out back.

Gearchanges are still handled by an eight-speed automatic, and a new and improved transmission brake brings configurable launch settings. The reinforced and upgraded parts spread to the driveline where there’s a stronger driveshaft and beefier rear axle. If that’s not available at the pump, 91-octane will provide 900 horses and 810 pound-feet. Burning E85, the 170’s mill produces 1025 horsepower and 945 pound-feet of torque. Bolted between its fenders is a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 with so many internal improvements versus its predecessor that the only thing the two engines share is a camshaft. The Demon 170's most devilish detail is under the hood. We would add the available passenger seat should someone be brave enough to ride shotgun. Of course, buyers can supply a set on their own so as not to be beholden to Dodge's limited wheel-and-tire choices. There's also said to be an additional street-tire package planned for an unspecified cost. A lightweight wheel package costs $11,495 and shaves a claimed 25 pounds from the porky Challenger. Dodge offers few options for its hellish coupe.
