Dodge Challenger Demon 170's Optional Upgrades Include A Freaking Parachute


The final options, for now at least, include the Challenger SRT Demon 170 street wheel and tire package. Dodge doesn’t say what’s included in the package but claims it provides the “highest level of street driving characteristics versus the vehicle’s standard drag radials.” The standard wheel and tire package on the Demon 170 comprises 315/50 R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials at the rear and 245/55 R18 ET Street front tires from MT. While these are road legal, you have to sign a waiver acknowledging that in the cold or wet, they’ll be useless on the road and that you won’t hold Dodge liable for any crashes. But these are also speed limited to 168 mph.

The optional package will include a new set of street-biased tires, which may increase the top speed to 215 mph.

Buyers can also swap the standard wheels for a set of carbon and aluminum wheels with a carbon fiber barrel and aluminum center, reducing unsprung wheel weight substantially.

Pricing is not yet available, but we expect the options to go live on the Direct Connection website as soon as the embargo lifts.
