Sorry we are late getting this video up! Lori and I are on the road at media drive events this week and the hotel we are at currently has super slow wifi! Thank you so much for understanding and taking the time to watch. We really can't do this without you. Let Dodge know in the comments section how you feel about this Demon 170 and if you are happy with the electrification direction they are going in for next year. They will be reading these comments!
i was waiting to hear like 880hp or maybe at most 950hp but when you said over 1000hp i almost jumped out of my seat. Dodge is the absolute best car company when it comes to giving its enthusiasts what they want. And what a way to send off this incredible vehicle.
Indubitably. It’s the greatest muscle car ever built. 1.66 seconds to 60 mph is insane. And I was watching videos of this car doing wheelies off the line as it explodes into speed. Can’t wait to see what Dodge does with even greater technology coming up.
@@WatchesYouAtNight . . . and the wheelies, and 2Gs of trust off the line, the muscular looks, the whine of the supercharger, and the emotional rush of it all!
Grew up with muscle cars my whole life. This car really hit me to my core. Made me weep because of the beauty and excellence of performance. American muscle let’s go! 🇺🇸
Awesome car Joe! 1.66 sec for 0-60 is just freaking insane. I can only imagine the g force that car has slamming you back into the seat. That is crazy fast. If only I could hit the lottery….
A perfect last hurrah for dodge, I didn't expect them to bring back the demon but they delivered past my expectations. Hoping you make a review for the Chrysler 300c aswell Rati.
epa regulations or not, for dodge to just kill these off instead of making a more modern V8 like ford and GM is unexcusable. freakin lazy engineers or penny pinching accountants. another dumb move by dodge.
@@hayleyandkilo Yes OLD MB parts from 2005. Chrysler is just making serious bank off a platform that has been paid for. I mean does Chrysler even have a design department?
Thank you all for the continued effort. This has been one of the best reviews for one of the most anticipated cars. Definitely appreciate the review on this one!
In 1970 my biology teacher bought a new first year introduced Challenger, blue in colour with a white convertible top. I’ll never forget the day he drove it into the school yard. He got the 383 engine, not the 426 HEMI engine as that was a few hundred $ more. A lot more those days. I was hooked on the Challenger from that day. 53 years later Dodge does not fail to amaze me with this 2023 Demon Challenger !
I think Dodge has shown the rest of the manufacturers that America still has what it takes to build the ultimate drag/street car ever made. I am a huge Mopar fan started with my first car 273 HEMI to my pickup with a 6.4L to my 49 Plymouth that has a 5.7 L.
@@RaitisRides big would have been 1200+ horsepower, all this is is a suped up version of every iteration of the hellcat that they have rehashed after 2018...Tesla will smoke this car on the street and on the track unless literally EVERYTHING is perfect on the launch, the weather the ethenol fuel quality etc...and still have to worry about the engine blowing. These last call cars are just redundant money grabs
Very impressive video Joe👍👍👍 Didn’t see any other RU-vidr putting out a video on this car. 🙇♂️ The engine on this car is to die for. No one gets this car for under $250k regardless of MSRP. Excellent work and congrats 🎈🎉🍾🎊
Good to see that in all they finally brought something to the table that people want with this Killer Demon to bad with markups it’s gonna start at least at 197k but still if you get your hands on one Killer I think this might take spot 1 as my Dream car.
If you could scramble to get one and sit on it, I guarantee this car will resell for 350K+ in a short few years. The 2018 demon MSRPed at 85K and goes for 200K+ in New condition
@RU-vidCARSPOTTERSGUIDE if I had the money, I'd buy one, go on several joy rides and hide it in my garage for 5 years and triple my money. I wouldn't be surprised if the demon 170 resells for 500K in 5 years.
The challenger is such a cool underrated car even base, because of its styling. Now with this..wow. I honestly don’t believe that this is stock. It’s absolutely insane how INSANE Dodge is! 😂 I love it!!
Joe, your enthusiasm, positivity, and overall passion for all automotive is infectious! Your content has helped me in more ways than you can ever imagine. Never stop my friend! Always looking forward towards your content. Thanks Joe and co! ❤
God Bless Dodge… you did it with this one and you know I bought your 392 Jeep this year to show you how I appreciate your v8 engines and products! God Speed mopar!!
Dodge just dropped the mic. 1025hp is unreal! I bet it sounded like a beast during that cold start! Great video as always! I bet this was a fun review! As far as EV goes, I have No interest. I enjoy driving my challenger wb scat pack m6.
Man oh man. What a beast! 0-60 in. 1.66 seconds? That’s insane. This just goes to show that combustion engines should not be killed off. They too are able to keep with EVs and in this case, absolutely destroy them. This is one of those cars I would love to park this in my garage. This will definitely be an expensive car in the future, considering current Demon prices. Even though the days are over for that Hemi V8, I’m glad that Dodge went out with a bang!
Definitely a beast. Thats with a pro driver on a prepped drag strip. I dont think on the street it would launch better than a tesla plaid with avg drivers. Still a helluva of a vehicle to bad its out of reach for 95% of the population
Wow. Just wow. Always bringing the best Joe! Dodge delivered the best for last. Just am scared to see what the dealer markups are going to be! I would estimate it would go for 200k
The dealerships will literally frontrun the future appreciation of this car and use its rarity to justify doing so. Anyone buying any flagship in hopes of flipping it in the future for decent profit is going to be sitting on them for a long time. With the way things are going in the US I wouldn't at all be surprised if this car is no longer road legal in the future. Clearly they are trying to put ICE vehicles in a chokehold and I can definitely see regulations that would keep this car from being legally registered because of how much fuel it consumes. They could also impose heavy taxes on fuel in the future which would essentially make this car too expensive to recreationally drive. Stellantis took a really poor approach in getting the 2023 flagships into enthusiasts hands and the only people who will benefit from it are dealerships who have limited allocations that are able to completely gouge the consumer for ridiculous markups. I'm sitting on the sidelines in anticipation for when this market flips over. Lots of people with 1k+ car payments that are underwater due to egregious markups. I personally don't think this climate is sustainable. Fingers crossed that there will be huge saturation in the secondary market in a few years and banks or dealerships are begging people to buy their diluted inventory at a more realistic price point🤞
Best review video so far on this car and bravo to Dodge and SRT and everyone who came off their meds to design and build this incredibly maniacal vehicle!!! I love it! Thank you Dodge and can’t wait for your electric division.
I can tell when Laurie is behind the camera!!! Great work and attention to detail. It's a shame that the prices on Dodge cars regardless of the trim level are too expensive due to markups. It's still nice by the way! Thank you for the review!
This car isn’t just for fans of Dodge, it’s for the entire car community. It’s the absolute King of any muscle car ever, and honestly how could anyone want any other model to take that crown.
Two things Joe.... 1. You sure that's a car and not a F22 Raptor Stealth Fighter Jets in disguise? And... 2. I'm holding you to your words in going on throttle on such a magnificent and awesome beast. You owe us!!!!
THAT is what a muscle car is all about but so many boobs just don't get that. They always come back with "yeah but that Challenger sucks on the track" stupid shit. Dumbasses...
@RaitisRides yeah that ain't happening here in Canada my friend xD I'm getting a 23 scat widebody at msrp! They had it marked up 10k over and I sweet talked my way into msrp! I'm happy with it, I wanted a hellcat buuuuuut again 20-40k mark ups on all of them.
I have always loved Mopars my whole life our first brand new car was a brand new 1972 Plymouth gold Duster and from there there was nothing but love for Mopar this is my ultimate dream car the 2023 demon
That handle you were calling a trans brake, I believe you will discover that is a parachute release for the optional parachute mount behind the license plate
Now that's a Muscle Car folks !!! I'm just guessing that we'll never see on on the streets ... collectors and drag teams will gobble them up ...JM.02 GOD Blessed me with my B5 Shaker Challenger and that's the one I'll ride off into the sunset with !!! Thanks Dodge !!! 😇👍🏼
Yes they should've put the demon badge on the steering wheel... But good God almighty 60 mph in 1.66 seconds and 945 pounds of torque them guys in the lab are brilliant now we have to see Vin diesel in a movie using this car on some crazy chase
This company just did the impossible and created the all in one, enough sits for family lots of power and performance lots of space for you to carry your staff in the trank and the best of them all is that you can still do the stupid burnouts that we all love, this is literally my dream car in real life and is very much affordable
I Freaking love it and i want one!, That final farewell model is just insane, Dodge just went all out on the last Combustion engine Challenger over 1000hp from a production road legal Monster of a car, i applaude you Dodge
what had no idea the dodge demon was being mad again wtf im gt500 ford guy but man its sad to see these go but what a wonderful surprise they did it one last time for the fans
Just so weird to think about how this is it. Will be strange 5,10,15… years down the road to see what becomes of the vehicle world. Seems we’re getting some some “last call” models from different automakers. The new Z, Manual Supra, the dodge lineup. It’ll be fun and yes indeed sad to see the last of the combustion engines that come out but hopefully we keep getting these last pieces of history
@@rrf6747 I think sales on EVs will keep going up and up, especially if they get more affordable options (even though affordable is a lost word these days). They are being pushed so hard, and most automakers seem to be jumping on the ship because they don’t want to be behind. What will be interesting is to see what happens are things like where are all these chargers going to go, are apartment complexes going to have wires running everywhere, or California asking people not to use electricity, maybe that’ll happen in other states, or when these batteries start dying where do they all go. I think we’ll be with EV for a little but hopefully too many problems arise and they die off again, though I bet it will make a switch back to hybrids. Honestly we should’ve focused on hybrids instead of jumping to EV. I will still always dream of owning a beautiful V8 combustion engine
@@Samuel-H no charging infrastructure, limited range and life on batterys.towing is a joke sales will slump Environmental impact mining raw materials bad. Basically slave labor. It's going to become a problem from many directions. You'll see as soon as Biden and the socialist democratic party is out of office it will all be kicked to the curb only to raise its ugly head again in the distant future.
I was a GM guy, 4 monte Carlos, an 01 formula firebird, and now a 2011 challenger rt. Alot of respect for dodge for turning alot of gm and ford heads. The last 15 years have been amazing for all these brands. Gonna miss these days for sure!! I'm 46.
what the f**k!!!! i'm a hardcore Ford guy but damn! Dodge did it again with another drag strip monster. Dodge is definitely the king of the drag strip.
I'm surprised this thing has a sound system. After the fun on the strip is over, you could play "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC, and maybe "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.
@@jmt8706official Yes! I'm building my "Muscle Rock" playlist for when I get my Challenger :-) Paranoid by Black Sabbath... Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf...
I wasn’t around in the 60s or 70s I’m 43 and I can tell you this is a beast of a muscle car😊 love what Dodge did and what Ford is doing with the Mustang
As a fellow car enthusiast, I really appreciated the in-depth analysis of the Dodge Challenger Demon. While I might not personally agree that it's the best muscle car ever built (I'm a Mustang fan myself), I can definitely see why it's earned such a dedicated following. Keep up the great work on your channel - I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to more car news and content!
Dodge definitely took it to the next level !!! That is one mean machine !! The numbers are outrageous..looks awesome.. 👍🏻👍🏻Thanks to the best in the business. Joe and Lori
This is one bad ass challenger! Unfortunately, you’re going to have to be somebody special in order to score one of these from what I’ve been reading, dealership, owners, and people of that ilk will be the ones to get first crack at them with you leave probably next to none for the average guy although the average guy can’t afford $100,000 car I know I can’t but if I could, I would buy one of these if I can get my hands on one.
Raiti I gotta say this but U r the best in the game the fastest youtuber to get the car reviews asap and not just any cars but also focus on the special and limited edition models literally every car I search for a review And I don’t find it I am sure that Raiti has done his job and brought it all. U are the perfect example of a hard working man U really deserve the million subscriber cause U r the hardest worker in the this game god bless U and Ur wife who stands By Ur side I am sure U would hit the million son god willing. All the best for you and your wife brother #RaitiRidestothemillion
What a monster !!!! Very nice. Thanks Joe and Lori. Always proud of Chrysler's Canadian made vehicles. PS: my daily driver is a 1997 Canadian made Intrepid with 360,000 km's. The most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
That's impressive. While the Gen One Intrepid was well designed in many ways, it's reliability typically wasn't as great as the peers in its class. Chrysler simply didn't have (and has admitted) the engineering funding of GM or Toyota to back up the great design of the vehicle.
@@rjcolombe ...did you own one? What engine did your Intrepid have. The 3.3 L V6 was ULTRA RELIABLE. The 3.5 was more complex and they had problems. Mercedes owned Chrysler in 1997 I believe and amazing they were short of money. Maybe they were all lemons and I got the only good one...the most reliable and lowest repair costs I've ever had. I'm sure a lucky fellow....LOL.
That hood looks good with the roof and rear spoiler matched in black. But I am wondering if they are making too many "special" versions. If they make too many special versions it kind of makes them less special.
Only 2 of the 7 were truly special, that being this DC170 and the Charger Super Bee. Everything else was just quick cash grab before they ended production. Annoying way to dilute the lineup but at the very least puts out more hellcats and scats in rotation for potential new buyers later throughout the years since a lot of hellcats are beyond used and abused right now.
@@obungapyramid5525 yeah there's a lot of videos of Charger and Challenger being damaged and abused, so having a well maintened Hellcat or ScatPack is not going to be that easy.
Demon 2.0... how can it not be great! Beefed up drivetrain all the way back, thank goodness! I think the YT vids of exploding rear-ends embarrassed them a little.
With this being the last year, I'm pulling out all the stops to finally throw down some cash for the Challenger I've always dreamed of. Wish I could afford this monster, but I'll have to settle for a Scat Pack. Still a terrific car! I'm not crazy about the idea of "electric muscle cars". Something about gasoline engines gives cars a beating heart, soul, and sexiness that electric just can't match. Society is overcorrecting in the direction of electric. Hopefully, someday people will wake up to reality and understand that we can find a way to be environmentally responsible while still having fun once in a while... and bring back real gas-powered muscle cars again! I would be happy with an electric (or hydrogen) car as my daily driver, with a gas-powered muscle car for a little weekend fun. The balance of the universe means responsibility with enough room left for some occasional moments of pure joy!
