What a cool moment at 16:35

[@vonbogroff]

Mopar!.

[@rachelvanvoris]

To be a part of history and the brotherhood of muscle, thank you Dodge and MotorTrend.

[@KevinVanVoris]

You’re hot 🥵

[@mr.christensen2760]

Dodge understands the heart of the Muscle Car Fan!!!

[@306Nation]

You guys at Dodge are killing it. That’s one CRAZY car.

[@PerrynBecky]

I'll be 63 this next month, so I'm old enough to love the original muscle car era, and as Jay Leno said: "The 60's isn't the golden age of the muscle cars, we're living in it now. I was so sad to see the 2018 Demon fade away as fast as it came out, but this Demon is even better. A 5 year period to respawn was worth the wait. Congratulations, Dodge. You really went all out with this one.

[@joejoe-qn4hu]

Mopar going out like the way they came in like a Boss.

[@normp3273]

Chrysler Dodge. From the 1st Gen 426 Hemi to the 340 Demon, to the Hellephant and now the 170 Demon. Take a bow. Man what a life, and it's a great time to be alive!! Thank you for these beastly machines and resurrecting the muscle car era. 👍Salute and ✌

Was an honor to be invited to the event and get an interview 😬😬😬

And then get bent over and told you can’t have one unless you want to let the dealership stick it to you with no Vaseline!

[@troyburns6971]

The parachute would come In handy when the cops start chasing ya 🤣🤣 , I respect Mr Leno , but the 60s & early 70s was the Golden age for the muscle car !! Without the first Demon produced in the seventies , the Dodge Demon 340 , the new Demon wouldn't exist !! Props to Dodge for keeping Drag racing alive 💯👍

[@ChristopherGuilday]

I ain’t gonna lie, I was smilin and mirin the whole time and dodge is probably my least favorite car brand in general, but you can’t deny what an awesome car that is. Absolutely incredible.

Way to go Dodge again!

[@frankmmiii]

I purchased a 2021 Dodge Challenger Widebody R/T Scat Pack 392 T/A edition. I bought it this past July, used with only 3,000 miles on it. It is in brand new condition. The previous owner took very good care of it adding an aftermarket AWE Track Edition Quad tipped Black Diamond cat-back exhaust, doing a stripe delete which eliminates the black T/A stripe on the sides, a spare tire delete for the sub-woofer for the Harmon Kardon stereo, choosing to do the calipers in red, 6-piston up front and 4-piston in the back, and getting the 6-speed Tremec manual. 485 horsepower(maybe more with the aftermarket exhaust) and 475 ft. lbs. of torque. I don't have the supercharger whine, the horsepower and torque, but for my 54 year old body, it is more than enough and she sounds beautiful. Minus the supercharger whine. Oh, it is in the only for 2021 color, Gold Rush.

[@scottsummers4154]

The Yellow Demon couple. You can see the man’s soul die a little whenever his girl talks, lol.

Fantastic insight. Thanks for this. Mopar or no car. But what was with the Tractor during Tim's speech???

[@ronniemullis8717]

Thank you Dodge, it’s been a wonderful ride. You have always been the leader in the muscle car field. It’s ashamed that the woke politicians are ending it.

They should up grade it even more. Make it even faster the top speed and improve some of the road speed handling somehow and come out with verson called the Dodge Demon "Devil" as another upgrade.

[@StonedAF87]

Dodge is Great.

[@powerwagon3731]

Sorry Mr. Leno your wrong about the Golden age of muscle cars unless you have your own gold mine. I’m old enough to remember when GIs would come back from Viet Nam and buy a Hemi Cuda, SS Chevelle etc and be able to afford them and still buy a a house on a workman’s wage.

[@prawnstar9213]

Makes me wonder what SRT had in mind for these cars if the feds hadn't put all these EPA requirements on the auto industry 🤔 way too go Dodge , What a Savage noble beast 🤨

[@esaireyna899]

This final last call challenger the demon 170 has gotten so demonic of power it will have you smiling eventho it’s the last time will ever see the charger and challenger with the various V8 power plants the possession is already winding down as we are 6 months away from the ending of these stories muscles cars from Dodge

if anyone has a connection on how to get one of these please let me know!

If Mopar was to have came out with the EV version a few years sooner this car wouldn't be going away. This is why Ford is still building muscle cars cause the Mach e reset the EPA mpg

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

Dodge has been setting the standards for muscle cars for almost 60 years & all other brands have been struggling to keep up & be able to compete with the best! So sad to see all these wonderful machines going to the wayside soon & everything will be electrified which is not exciting at all to me because they can never compare to all the aspects of an internal combustion engine ESPECIALLY the rumble of those V8s! So glad that I am not a millennial or Gen Z that has to conform to these regulations, I am old & will keep all my muscle cars & trucks with NO electric vehicles around plus there are no charging stations or an electrical grid that could handle the power out in the country anyway so even better! Brotherhood of muscle ✌💖☮

The stealership markup on this car ruins any of its hype. $350k for a Challenger is insane. Nope. After dealing with multiple Dodge Stealerships I’m done with the brand.

[@davidhillman3410]

It’s too bad Dodge has ripped so many honest people off on these cars with such huge markups. Even selling cars that were pre-ordered and paid for two people who are willing to pay huge markups!

[@Seventh7Art]

Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 outputs 1,025HP at the crank...... Meanwhile, Tesla Model S Plaid was put on a dyno. The results? 1100 wheel horsepower.... in real life! IF you put this Demon 170 on the dyno, you should get around 900 wheel horsepower.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

and I would STILL choose that Demon

[@brianenochs]

The only thing cool about a Tesla is that they sell directly to the consumer... no greedy dealer network to mark them up over MSRP... If you're into electric performance, just wait for the 2024 Charger SRT Banshee to smoke the Plaids doors off!!
