Dodge Demon 170: Its 1.66s 0-60 Starts Rolling — RedlineArchive

Dodge says the Challenger SRT Demon 170 reaches 60 mph in 1.66 s; Jalopnik reports that figure used a one-foot rollout. Our math, if that rollout is one foot: at least 1.83 s from a true standstill. Honest Math · Ep. 3. Dodge's own releases give the Challenger SRT Demon 170's 1.66-second 0-60 (a split from its NHRA-certified 8.91-second quarter mile) and its 2.004 g. Jalopnik reports the 1.66 used a one-foot rollout, and that Dodge says the time from a standstill is still under 2 seconds. Our floor: covering that first foot at 2.004 g takes at least 0.176 s, so at least 1.83 s from a standstill. Narration: AI voice (ElevenLabs). Music: made for this video (ElevenLabs Music).
