A Pair of Matching Dodge Challenger SRT Demons Heads to Auction Soon, if You're Into That
A Pair of Matching Dodge Challenger SRT Demons Heads to Auction Soon, if You're Into That-October 2024

Have you ever dreamed of having not one, but two, big, overpriced , so powerful that somebody had to sign off on their potential danger upon buying them? Maybe one for yourself and one for your significant other, or one for yourself and another one for yourself?

Well, you’re in luck. Two are heading to auction with Mecum later this month as a pair, with an estimated sale price of between $250,000 and whatever some other wealthy person is willing to pay.

Mecum calls the “The SRT Demon Offering,” which sounds slightly satanic and highly terrifying. Look, Mecum, we know , but let’s not make any rash decisions on blood sacrifices or anything. Everybody needs time to think on those before they go through with them.

Aside from the disturbing subliminal messages, someone out there is probably willing to pay quite a bit for the Demon pair. They’ve got a factory-rated 1,680 horsepower combined with their supercharged Hemi V8s, and Dodge only made 3,300 of the street-legal drag cars before stopping production and finding a way to on its other models to keep demand high on both.

The Demon’s base MSRP was reasonable on the supercar spectrum at $84,995, but most didn’t go for anywhere near that. Dealers put on their meager inventories with , and the —most Demons hover at or under $200,000 each, but some owners have listed theirs for .

The Demon, essentially, became a prime social experiment for the question of, “How many people will pay way too much for a Dodge?”

The Mecum listing said these two Demons each still have the plastic on them from the dealer, and, as you could probably tell from the burning feeling in your eyes, they also still have on. One of the cars has 43 miles on it and the other has 77, according to the listing, which is higher than some of the listed with single digits on the odometer.

But that’s only a few extra miles, and someone’s going to go home soon with two identically terrifying production cars. Maybe they’ll use them to challenge people straight up at the drag strip. Maybe they won’t let anyone touch them, and will instead decide whether they feel like a red hood or a matte-black hood each day. Maybe they’re just for Instagram. Maybe a couple will buy the cars, in a show of affection for each other and American muscle. Maybe somebody will just drive one and hang the second as home decor. It .

Either way, here’s hoping they .

And in the meantime, all the rest of us can dream about more reasonable pairs we could find happiness in buying—a nice pair of shoes, a pair of sunglasses we don’t break immediately, actual pears. You know, stuff we can really splurge on.

The 103-Year-Old Mr. K Upon Hearing A Datsun 510 Was Named A Jalopnik 'Best Drive'
It's starting to feel like the main reason publications indulge in Car Of The Year awards is so the winning automaker will put their name in a bunch of advertisements, making the publication feel like a big shot. At Jalopnik, we don't buy in to this. We receive hand jobs...

For $7,995, Is This Laforza To Be Reckoned With?
For $7,995, Is This Laforza To Be Reckoned With?
La Forza del Destino is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi that features love, death, betrayal. . . and gypsies! Less dramatic is today's Laforza, but will its price have you wishing the fat lady would sing? You know why even minor highway accidents can back up traffic for miles? It's...

For $4,100, You Rock!
To drive in the International Race of Champions, you need to be at a winner. To drive today's IROC-Z you need only have the necessary cash. The question is, will its price have you saying ROC-on? Dropping a Skyline engine into damn near anything usually makes the recipient magically propitious,...

For $13,000, You Will Never Lose Money On Replica
The title for today's was pulled straight from the ad for this Mitsubishi 3000GT modified to look like a Ferrari. Lose money or not, that bold pronouncement of course leads to the question: is the price for this replica reprehensible? Dust off your Whitesnake cassettes and slap some neon spandex...

The Best And Worst Cars I’ve Driven This Year
It's been a real juicy peach of a year for sports cars. And I don't just mean the ones that feel like you're driving with oven mitts on. I mean the ones that have the crackly goodness a sports car should have. And that's been kind of surprising, in an...

Three hundred eighteen corners. Eleven miles. Two states. Practically zero guard rails. Highway 129, also known as the Tail of the Dragon, is one of the greatest roads in all of North America. It's also one of the most dangerous. Since it's in the middle of nowhere, it takes forever...
