Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
Alas, as they are not the majority, we will follow the democratic tradition and vote regarding the contents.
Until then, neither Uncyclopedia nor the original author of this article condone racism in any form.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a hyper-stupid, oversized, and extraordinarily dangerous something for both the driver and everyone nearby (with the notable exception of a certain demographic of overly enthusiastic young men with questionable taste). It serves precisely three purposes: to make you look like an arrogant prick, to get yourself killed, or to eventually find your Demon stripped of its wheels, propped up on KFC buckets with Kool-Aid spilled across the hood.
Origins[edit | edit source]
The origins of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon can be traced back to around 2016 or 2017, during the production of the already profoundly idiotic Dodge Hellcat. The Hellcat was, by all accounts, a stupid car built for even stupider people. It was stupid because it was essentially a retro-styled slab of nostalgia, weighed down by a comically oversized HEMI engine topped with an even more oversized supercharger, producing a "laughable" 707 horsepower. That number, while impressive on paper, translated into a vehicle capable of absurd straight-line speed—and almost nothing else.
The Hellcat was supposedly aimed at connoisseurs: middle-aged men looking for an alternative to a certain unnamed pony car with a "GT500" badge, or the ever-confused Chevrolet competitor, which only seemed modern because it was based on some rebadged Aussie family sedan. Unfortunately, the intended clientele never materialized.
Instead of mature gearheads with some vague sense of self-restraint, the Hellcat attracted an entirely different demographic: non-white individuals of questionable procurement habits (if they didn’t outright steal them), adult film stars, and average, cholesterol-saturated Americans who thought a burnout was a personality trait. Naturally, 707 horsepower wasn’t enough for these new customers.
And so Dodge escalated. Badly.
Demon Itself[edit | edit source]
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is essentially a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that’s been given a few “upgrades” to turn it from an already ridiculous car into something even more excessive, borderline unmanageable, and — depending on the neighborhood — extremely temporary.
The key fact is simple: instead of 707 horsepower like the Hellcat, the Demon has 840 horsepower. But there’s a catch. Because the Demon is American-made (no surprise), it’s overly complicated (very surprising). On the street, you get “only” 808 horsepower. To unlock the full 840, you need to prep the car like you’re launching a SpaceX payload: swap to race fuel, install drag radials, replace the air intake with a track-only system, reconfigure the ECU, and — of course — use the red key. Yes, this car literally comes with two keys, and the red one is the “go-fast” button.
Now to the more serious issue: theft. The Demon is one of the most stolen cars in America. Not just because it’s powerful, but because it’s covered in expensive, highly resellable parts, and it’s often owned by people who don’t believe in garage doors. Leave it parked overnight without supervision, and there's a non-zero chance it’ll be gone by morning — or worse, you’ll find what’s left of it sitting on buckets, wheels stripped, windows smashed, interior gone, Kool-Aid stains on the hood, and KFC grease prints on what used to be the trunk. This isn’t a stereotype — it’s a statistically observable trend in urban theft reports.
Demon 170[edit | edit source]
If you're looking for a vehicle that wants to kill you with exactly 176.54% more commitment than anything else on the road — but for some reason, you don’t want a standard Demon — worry not. There’s the Demon 170.
This is not so much an evolution of the original Demon as it is a full-blown mechanical suicide note. Powered by a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 running on E85 fuel, the Demon 170 produces a mind-shattering 1,025 horsepower. That’s not a typo. One. Thousand. And twenty-five. On a street-legal car. From a factory. In Detroit.
Acceleration? 0–60 mph in 1.66 seconds — assuming you don’t black out from the G-forces or instantly evaporate into red mist when the rear tires catch traction.
And yes, that kind of power doesn’t just kill. It atomizes.
Every purchase is a lobotomy, after which all surviving brain cells immediately file a restraining order.
Buyers[edit | edit source]
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon may have been conceived for dragstrip purists which, in itself, is a laughably narrow and hyperly-stupid niche — but its real-world buyer demographic has taken a wildly different turn. Much like the Hellcat before it, the Demon ended up in the hands of individuals Dodge never intended, including:
Random AHH student[edit | edit source]
No one ever remembered his name. He existed in the margins of every photo — hood up, shoulders slouched, eyes behind scratched glasses. He played Terraria like it was religion and whispered “Fire in the hole” under his breath during exams. Socially, he was a footnote. Spiritually, he was a fossil. But he had something everyone else didn’t: money. Not much — just enough. Some inheritance, maybe. A half-dead relative in Arkansas. Whatever the source, it was enough for a down payment. The other half went on a lease that guaranteed he’d be in debt until his spine collapsed.
Then it appeared. Plum Crazy, snarling like an injured god, parked diagonally in the commuter lot with the hood warm and twitching. The transformation was instant. People he’d never met started calling him “bro.” Girls asked if they could touch the shifter. One of his adjunct professors — twice divorced, passive-aggressive, low-cut sweaters — said she loved “classic muscle,” then leaned too far over his desk during grading consultations.
He said nothing. He didn’t need to. The car spoke for him.
What followed was predictable. He started skipping class. Revving outside lecture halls. One night, after a physics final, he took a psych major to Taco Bell, then to an empty overpass, and then into the backseat. They didn’t talk much. They didn’t need to. He smelled like a cologne stolen from a roommate. She was high on vodka cranberries and self-loathing.
After that, he began racing anyone who made eye contact. The track team. Campus security. An Uber Eats cyclist. Nobody beat him. Nobody could. And when he circled the quad doing donuts at 2 a.m. in a cloud of smoke and desperation, he laughed louder than he ever had.
But it didn’t last. It never does.
The accident was simple — he missed a curve, or maybe he aimed for it. The news showed nothing but the wreckage. Police said the car was traveling well above the posted limit. His friends posted filtered tributes. The girl cried, briefly. Then found a guy with a Camaro the Exorcist.
The university planted a tree in his honor. It withered.
Tyron type person[edit | edit source]
Tyron’s Demon came from a chop shop and a lie. Nobody knew exactly how he got it. One day he was just in it — top down, shirtless, the paint still wet from some cheap vinyl wrap. He lived in Miami, or next to it, and wore the car like a weaponized personality. He didn’t race. He invaded. Parking lots, intersections, sidewalks — any surface became a stage for him to drift, scream, and broadcast his slow-motion collapse to anyone with a phone.
He had a kid he didn’t claim. Probably more than one. He ate KFC from the center console and ashtrays full of weed roaches. He made TikToks yelling at cops mid-chase and went viral for running over a traffic cone and calling it a “Karen.”
Every meet ended the same: cops, chaos, an ambulance. Once he clipped a Honda Civic and sent it through a bus stop. No one pressed charges. They were too scared. Or too entertained.
He had a sponsorship from a discount energy drink that gave him exactly zero dollars but reposted his crashes with the caption “UNREAL GRINDSET.” His followers were 90% bots and 10% underage boys who thought self-destruction was a lifestyle.
Eventually, the state caught up. Child services. Parking violations. Drugs. He didn’t even flinch when they came to take the car. He just asked if he could film it. When they refused, he kicked the tow truck and got tased. The video hit 1.2 million views. It was the last thing he ever uploaded.
No one remembers what happened to the Demon. It probably sits in a police impound lot, surrounded by forgotten dreams and impounded Hellcats, still stinking of chicken grease and sweat.
The Enthusiast[edit | edit source]
A man in his late 40s, with a garage full of brochures and a wristwatch that costs more than most cars. He test-drove the Demon once, out of curiosity. He wore gloves. He adjusted the mirrors with reverence.
After twenty minutes, he brought it back.
“It’s an animal,” he said flatly and bought a Porsche instead.
Something that hummed rather than screamed. Something that curved around corners like it understood geometry. But at night, alone in the garage, he watched videos — grainy street races, flame-spitting takeoffs, roll races at 3 a.m. on abandoned highways. He watched them like someone flipping through old love letters. He never smiled.
He didn’t need the Demon. But part of him wished he did.
