One of the only things as polarizing as the purpose of the final Challenger among car enthusiasts is its price, not just because it’s the only Challenger to shriek into six-figure territory but also because fans already expect dealership markups. So is the new Demon worth the hellacious ask? 

Can you still buy the Dodge Demon?

While Dodge fans missed the boat on the first Demon halo car from 2018, enthusiasts seeking bragging rights can take another crack at the smirking Demon badge in 2023. The new Demon 170 will go on sale this year, with production starting in July. 

Of course, collectors who can’t get their hands on the final “Last Call” model might be able to find a 2018 SRT Demon for sale. However, the limited-production 2018 Demons have increased in value, so attaining one might require a deal with the devil. 

How much is a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170?

The new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 starts at $100,361 and offers only one trim level. As a result, the new Demon model is the most expensive Challenger the automaker has ever made. 

In comparison, the king of the hill in the 2023 lineup before the new Demon’s arrival was the Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock, another drag strip-ready muscle car. However, the Super Stock starts at around $86,445, much less than the new halo car. Moreover, the ominous Black Ghost Last Call model comes close without eclipsing the six-figure barrier with an MSRP of about $99,315 per Dodge Garage

Moreover, the only Dodge models to out-cost the new 170 are from the Viper line, like the 2017 Viper ACR Extreme. However, like the tragic story of the Chevrolet Corvette C8, fans expect the 170 to incur some serious dealership markup.

How many Demon 170s will Dodge produce?

Dodge says it wants to produce around 3,300 SRT Demon 170s: 3,000 for the U.S. and 300 for the Canadian market. That figure mirrors the original 2018 Demon

Is the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 worth it? 

The new 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 might seem like yet another knuckle-dragging Mopar muscle coupe, but it’s so much more than that. The new Demon is the final Last Call model, the last V8-powered car of its kind from the historic manufacturer. 

Most impressively, it’s quite simply the fastest production muscle car ever made. As a result, the Demon 170 is a worthwhile piece of collectible Americana.
