You can tell Doug isn't a drinker. The little metal demons are for chilling your drink without melting ice. They are supposed to be kept in the freezer. Likewise with the "little bottle" which was the cap for the decanter. Lol.

"Cool car. How many horsepower?" "1000 hp. It's the fastest challenger ever. Quite possibly the last of its kind. An American icon. A legend.” "What's with the yellow color?" "Uh... corn."
@@ChicagoIrishman If it is like the original demon, then the "regular" passenger seat is $1 and the "regular" rear seat is also $1. I believe the trunk carpeting was also a $1 option on the original.
1.7 seconds stock is absolutely nuts. You have a to be a good driver to handle this I can’t tell you how many hellcats I’ve seen wrecked by novices. I’m not a MOPAR guy in any shape or form. But this is pretty awesome
Fun fact about the sunroof costing $10k. The reason dodge did it is because they REALLY didn’t want people getting a sunroof for weight and center of gravity purposes, but knew some buyers wouldn’t get one without it. In addition, the wheels on the demon are so expensive that dodge sells a low-optioned demon at a loss. To solve both issues, they made a super expensive sunroof that would pay for the wheels on ~3-4 non-sunroofed demons.
As insane as this is more manufacturers should do stuff like it. There are a few nut jobs like me that'd be willing to pay stupid 5 figure money for a special option like a stick shift in an otherwise normal-ish priced car. Or fully retractable rear/side windows. I'd consider something stupid like that just to have the cool/unique overpriced feature, HOWEVER: Imagine being ready to fork over ~5x the base model price for 4-digit HP example of one of the most extreme/collectible/stupid/pointless/wonderful vehicles of the century, then seeing it didn't have a f-ing SUNROOF and being like "in that case, I'll pass." A SUNROOF ffs... I owned a Chevy SSR when I was 19 which ought to be a DSM clinical condition (granted, all black 5% tint w/ satin running boards + chrome stock wheels)... But that's straight asylum-tier.
whenever I have to pay to get a feature that was already possible (e.g. windows going all the way down) it always feels like a scam. if it could do it, why do I need to pay? @@clinttube
Those steel demon heads in the alcohol box are used as drink chillers. You put them in fridge/freezer to get cold instead of ice cubes and put them in your drink. They are used because they do not dilute the drink like ice does.
Cars like this are stupid. Sure they are fast, whatever. But they look like their used crappy counterparts. I would never buy one, for this kind of money. I'd want something more special, and this ain't it
@@purwantiallan5089 yes that was in Streetspeed 717’s Hellcat. If you go to Streetspeed’s channel and sort videos by oldest about 20 videos I was his reveal of his Hellcat, it’s the white one that Doug nearly crashed
And after their scary event almost crashing they comforted each other and said they were “muscle car bros for life” then sucked each other in the back seat.
@@Docstantinople 'Twas the gayest thing ever seen on youtubesez. I swear both of them pee in public urinals with their pants on the floor like 4yr olds.
The significance of the box is that it is specifically for drinking whiskey. The car runs on E 85, which is 15% ethanol distilled from corn. In other words, corn whiskey! The decanter, demon-shaped whiskey “stones”, glasses, and coasters allow you to enjoy drinking the same corn whiskey that your car loves to drink! A fine way to enjoy your bourbon. 🥃
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="977">16:17</a> Those are chillers Doug so that way you won't use ice in your alcoholic drinks since they can melt and water down the drink
The best Doug videos are when he is genuinely taken aback by the vehicle he is reviewing. His enthusiasm takes him off the script for just pure driving love
@@Thorfinn0607 Drag cars aren't that interested in cornering strong, so they throw smaller wheels/tires up front. Rears have to be as big as possible for traction though. So the widebody fenders are helpful in the rear, and useless in the front.
Not a Dodge guy but I absolutely love the accessories and personal touches. Makes it pretty clear how much the team at Dodge loves this car and that they’re true enthusiasts. Awesome.
@@user-xq7nk8zu6n If you're buying a Grand Caravan, they'll let you go but only if you send the dealership a photo of you drinking wine out of a Stanley at your kid's soccer practice within 30 days of purchase.
Some rich kid might just walk in there and pay that much without even thinking about it. Given their rarity, they may fetch that money soon enough anyway.
the great Doug D forgot one thing. "the last call" also fits with 170 being the alcohol content in the fuel and also that it is something said in bars at the end of the night.
Doug's the kind of guy who doesn't know a single thing about a decanter set or alcohol. 😂 That's the top not a small bottle. Those are metal ice cubes. That's an ashtray.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="947">15:47</a> Doug, it's not a smaller bottle. It's a stopper. Little metal Demons serve instead of ice. You put then into freezer and then they cool your drink without melting and get water into it
Dougs the type guy will massage a personal elbow imprint into your Demon 170 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="538">8:58</a> hood as a complimentary gesture for allowing the review 😅😂
@@comeberza but dont think americans actualy paid 100k USD for this car... add taxes, market adjustment (aka stealership tax) and APR costs and you actualy ended up paying 200k ish at the end

Reminds me of Nikon F6. It was one of the greatest film cameras ever made, but by the time it came out, digital cameras were way better in most ways, so it was dead on arrival.
Did I miss it or did he not mention that the front isn't wide body but the rear is. He mentioned the new rear slightly wider fenders, he didn't mention that there are no wide fenders on the front like the original Demon because they wanted to save weight.
well at least the rich achieved something in life before that person dies. his kids will probably inherit the fortunes and pass on to the next generation. cycle of life.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a> These cars are the Jacob watches of the automotive world. Ridiculous, brilliant mechanicals in a case that looks and feels like it came from Wish.
I believe the little metal Demons in the personalized case are metal whiskey stones. You put them in the freezer to get them cold. Once you're ready to have a glass of your liquor of choice, you put those in the glass rather than add ice. Because if you add ice, it will dilute your drink as it melts.
As a Dodge HQ employee, I can tell you those rear fenders are not wider than 2018 Demons. They are carry-over from all Challenger widebodies. Colors on the SRT caliper are not yellow but rather green. It has nothing to do with corn. Anyone else cringe at his elbow denting the hood? Literally seen that surface flex every time he moves
Man I thought I was the only one that noticed the hood being pressed in and out with his elbow! Glad I wasn't alone. Also, agree with everything else you said.
I used to think Doug was credible until he reviewed a car that was similar to what I owned and he had all the facts wrong. Once I looked at the rear fenders I knew instantly that it's no different than what's on the widebody hellcat.
@@jorgejiminez-rk1uu His Higher ups, sold out and left town. The only ones left live in Sicily or Monte Carlo and La Condamine..... Good luck getting ahold of them, or getting them to listen while they relax on their Yachts.
I was so sad they pulled the front fenders off from the wide body! I know weight and all but with the two Demon’s sitting side by side the 170 just looks skimpy.
Doug forgot to mention a few things about this very special vehicle. Such as - motors are blowing up, dealers are asking crazy money for these, the quality is junk, and one of these caught fire for no apparent reason. He only left out the minor things. Lol. 😂😂😂😂
I bet dealers mark these up for the fools who gotta have them, I am guessing around 200k or more will be spent by some ricky's who own construction companies.
The 2018 Dodge Demon had 840 Horsepower available at it's maximum with the Demon Crate package. They lost their minds LONG LONG before the 170 came out
I like how you mentioned the owner didnt want to reveal his name on the vent but then you do <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1041">17:21</a> LOL.
Doug is a good guy; he has probably said this is the most powerful Challenger ever 8 times in the past 8 years while covering the same chassis and interior 8 times
At 100k it loses its purpose of "Cheap speed" IMO. I bought my Charger Hellcat brand new in 2016 for 65k CAD (~47k USD). Still going strong, and didn't empty my pockets too much!
I mean that was 2016 tho and you got lucky. New hellcats are all 60-75k depending on trim. Plus where else can you get 1000hp bone stock for 100k? Maybe a ghey EV😂
@@johncena-hq1ti At 145k with options, you start to compete with the Corvette ZR1 (which comes out very soon), Porsche 911, McLaren 570s and other cars that do more than go fast in a straight line.
47k USD? Holy crap man. If you want to import a Hellcat in Germany (Dodge sadly stopped selling officially, but they have an importer that fits EU legal parts which are from Dodge...) you are looking at around 95k Euro (around 103k USD) at the moment...
@UndeadFleshgod to be fair your missing the point completely if your cross shopping a demon with any of those, it's sole purpose is to smash all of them on a drag strip, why not look at vipers?
The easiest way to tell the difference is the non flared front fenders vs the original demon flared front fenders.. that would be much easier then looking close at a badge. How was this missed??? lol that is also the biggest clue no other challenger comes with only rear flares.
Here’s a sense of perspective for why this video was so late. I work at a dealer, won’t say where. I know we definitely had one come in for sale, maybe 2 or 3 just where I’m at. These cars were so sought after that we weren’t allowed to take pictures of them for fear of them being leaked on the internet and being traced back to us. We didn’t want people to know that we had these cars even within the area. They’re such high theft targets. It’s not like they’re running different anti theft systems than normal hellcats and even v6 cars. Now all the owners have them and hopefully they keep them in garages and are only taken to the track. But Doug had to find an owner and I’m sure everyone just wanted their new car to be safe. Ultimately this owner Doug found is an old friend who has trust in Doug. Badass car, I hope he stays safe and enjoys it
@@averyshaw2142I don’t really know what the statistics are. I do know that it’s running the same basic anti theft systems as every modern Chrysler vehicle over the last 10 years that isn’t directly based on a Fiat. I mean it’s obvious. The hellcats and scat packs are stolen like crazy so I’m anxious for the Demon 170 owners
I personally know TWO owners of these Demon 170s... Both specced nearly identical in the deep red. One of them got his about a week earlier than the other and showed up to our Cars and Coffee. I didn't even know these were released at the time, let alone that I knew two of the guys who bought them. Seemed to be a very hush hush type of thing for sure.
I already dont trust the summer versions on my i30N that much (the compound feels stiff and "dry" after just 2 years and 20 thousand km) and this guy put the all season version on a 1000hp RWD.
If you would have told someone 20 years ago…even 10 years ago, that an 8 second production car would be on the streets as a daily driver they would have told you you’re nuts. What a great time to be alive as a car enthusiast.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="950">15:50</a> The Demon heads are for chilling drinks. You put them in the freezer first. Also the „small Bottle“ was a good one. Guess he’s not the minibar type of guy.
I bought a 2023 V6 Challenger for my wife because the Challenger is her dream car, and for an MSRP of ~$36,000, it came with a sunroof. Why TF would it cost TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to add it to this one???
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="993">16:33</a> The “Plaque” is supposedly a shot glass according to @MotorTrend, not seen anything to back this up, I was thinking it was an ash trash for your cigar, but Dodge calls it a “Commemorative Supercharger badge cover” that fits right onto the Demon badge under the hood on the Supercharger. Who knows lol.
They put a ton of thought into the accessories. I love that. The latches on the box - hammers from what looks like old double barrel shotguns -or- meant to resemble demon horns. The things look like ice-packs/chilled pieces that you freeze and use in place of ice so you don't water down your whiskey. The coasters have yellow stitching. Because corn and stuff. The glasses have the texture that the supercharger has. Because of course. The biggest thing - it's a set for ALCOHOL INJECTION. Unsurprisingly - whiskey is usually made with .. corn.
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="975">16:15</a> they are metal ice cubes for whisky. @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="992">16:32</a> Cigar ashtray
Doug, the silver demons found in the crate are actually drink "reusable" chillers, they have a liquid inside them, you put them in the freezer and then they can substitute ICE in your drink, so they basically like an ice cube.
