Dodge Challenger Demon Video: The Most Factory Tunable Muscle Car Ever? 757hp To The Tires?


Dodge Challenger Demon Video:  The Most Factory Tunable Muscle Car Ever? 757hp To The Tires?

The latest weekly installment of the Dodge “this is never going to end” Challenger Demon series shows the car chained down to a chassis dyno and literally roaring through the gears. The number 757 appears in a few different places here so we’re going to come right out and guess that 757 is the horsepower that the car makes to the tire. That would give it about 1,000hp at the crank and since rampant speculation has put that number over 900hp in the past, we’re going to blatantly guess at that.

Now, outside of trying to read the damned DaVinci code of numbers that these videos have used the real crux of this video is to show off the enhancements that Dodge has made to the information center in the car. Basically this thing is the most on the fly tunable muscle car ever built.

Like the Hellcat there are multiple modes you can choose which is fine but unlike the Hellcat you can really get in there and play with stuff. You can mix and match some elements of Drag Mode with some elements of sport mode to make the car handle better, you can set the line lock, adjust your shift light, and all manner of stuff in there. Sport, Drag, and Custom are the modes and custom is where you can really get in and have some fun.

Just give us some horsepower numbers already, Dodge!

March 9, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon arms the driver with real-time information, as demonstrated in the newest teaser video, “Performance Pages,” unlocked on March 9.

The SRT Performance Pages are a key part of the driver-oriented Uconnect system and its 8.4-inch touchscreen in the center of the instrument panel.

Unique capabilities of the Performance Pages for the Challenger SRT Demon include:

  • Real-time graphic display of engine horsepower and torque with gear changes plotted
    • The power levels can be data recorded to track performance gains from changes, such as use of the Direct Connection Performance Parts
  • Real-time display of the supercharger intercooler coolant temperature
    • The Challenger SRT Demon sports the first-ever factory production car After-Run Chiller, which keeps the cooling fan and intercooler pump running after engine shutdown until a targeted temperature is reached
  • Driver-selectable line-lock, rpm-adjustable launch control and by-individual-gear-adjustable shift light in the instrument cluster
  • Timers for reaction time; 0-60 mph, 0-100 mph, eighth-mile and quarter-mile elapsed time and vehicle speed
  • Display of instantaneous and peak lateral and longitudinal g-forces
  • Gauge read-outs for engine oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature, transmission fluid temperature, intake air temperature, air-fuel ratio, intercooler coolant temperature, boost pressure and battery voltage
    • Gauge read-outs can be displayed as real time graphs with data record functionality

With the new data recorder feature, Challenger SRT Demon drivers can build an archive of data to help optimize the car for track and weather conditions, as well as improving driving techniques.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon’s Performance Pages also allow drivers to select between three different Drive Modes: Auto (Street), Drag and Custom.

Auto (Street) Mode options:

  • Multiple levels of engine performance
  • Three levels of suspension “feel and response”
  • Three levels of steering “feel and response”

Drag Mode options:

  • Multiple levels of engine performance
  • One level of transmission shifting “speed and firmness”
  • One level of traction control
  • One level of suspension “feel and response”
  • One level of steering “feel and response”

Custom Mode options:

  • Nearly every combination of options available in Auto (Street) or Drag can be configured in the Custom Drive Mode
    • As an example, a Challenger SRT Demon driver could select the elements of Drag Mode related to engine and transmission performance, but could select Sport Mode for the suspension and steering, providing the on-road driving dynamics of a Challenger SRT Hellcat

    I stopped the video and got this : 0-60-3.0/ 0-100-6.8 / 1/8th mile -6.6@125—1/4 mile -10.5 @129 mph.

  2. Monzamatt Zemaitis

    I just checked it again,the readout shows 1/8th mile et 6.6 & mph 125, that’s what they’re showing.

    Ok. I know it’s been awhile since I’ve been in math class but none of those numbers make any sense except for possibly the 0-60 time of 3.0.

    How can it take the same car 6.8 seconds to go 0-100 but then somehow they get to 125 in 6.6 in the 8th???

    And even if that 1/8th mile time is somehow true, then are they saying it takes 3.9 more seconds and another 1/8th mile of driving to go from 125 to 129????

    Maybe the driver got excited and kept switching from one driving mode to another while he was going down the track?? IF so I think they need a new test pilot. I could free up a weekend. Have them call me.
