Last Hemi V8 Howls with 1,025 HP of Alcohol-Fueled Fury in the SRT Demon 170

For better or worse, we are witnessing a major shift in the auto industry since… well, since the creation of the automobile; whether we like it or not, the automakers are going electric. I consider myself the most liberal car guy I’ve ever met, I have no problem with the EV, I just don’t like the way it has been shoved down our throats. We don’t have the necessary infrastructure for this change yet and the mining process to get the precious battery materials has proved a social and environmental calamity.  In my opinion, the government and the industry are putting the cart in front of the horse.

But enough with all this blah blah blah, the reason for this article is to talk about one of the first victims of this electrification, the muscle car. We have seen the rise, the fall, the almost extinction, and the renaissance of this beloved movement. But now, after an unimaginable amount of rubber and premium gas burned throughout more than 50 years since its creation, the most thrilling chapter in the history of the auto industry has officially come to an end.

Mopar has always prided itself on producing the most badass muscle car ever and they wouldn’t let us down in this time of need. They will leave the party in great style. Dodge is releasing a couple of special edition Challengers to mark the end of the production and it is a very important occasion to be taken lightly. I am not a writer by any stretch of the imagination and for that reason, I am republishing an article I saw in the Jesus Behind the Wheel . The author, Jesus Garcia, is a real auto journalist and I like his style very much. He captured the essence of the last Chally like no other. Enjoy it.

The seventh and final Last Call edition Dodge is the 8-second 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 featuring a 1,025 HP supercharged V8 Hemi.
