2023 Dodge Challenger Last Call Shakedown Review


Anna Kendrick is probably not the first celebrity you associate with the Dodge Challenger.


The year is 2012. The Portland native is enjoying a big career boost with Pitch Perfect, even if she’s been putting in solid work for a few years already. The Challenger’s been doing the same: it’s entered its fifth model year already, and the second with the 392-cubic-inch V8. “Cups” enjoys massive play, and it’s the “you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone” refrain that’s playing in my head over a decade later, behind the wheel of the 2023 Dodge Challenger Last Call Shakedown. Well, when the V8 isn’t drowning out any other thoughts.

2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Revealed

The 60-foot time is just 1.2 seconds. From a standstill, 60 mph is reached in a mere 1.66 seconds. The quarter miles flashes by in 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph.

These are the certified stats of the outrageous 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, a real car consumers will be able to purchase later this year. It’s the final send-off of the Challenger lineup, and it looks to redefine the term going out with a bang.

Before we get into the meat and bones of the Demon 170, let’s back things up a little and explain how such a purpose-built, street-legal dragster came to be. The car is a special project that began during the COVID lockdowns. See, the Challenger should already be dead. The Demon was supposed to be the final hurrah for the model, as the ultimate Challenger.

2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Jailbreak

In a world obsessed with weight savings, efficiency, and electrification, there are always rebels.

The vehicles that do not submit to modern conventions. The ones flying the flag of old-school ideals. The 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Jailbreak is one of these such vehicles.

It flips a big supercharged middle finger at conformity. In a world where most vehicles are trying to be all things to all people, the Jailbreak is comfortable in its singular mission; raw, unrelenting levels of fuel burning horsepower. The Challenger’s days may be numbered, but the Jailbreak is ready to go out in cloud of tire smoke and V8 thunder.

Anyone with a casual interest in automobiles should be aware of the Dodge Challenger by now. The same basic car has been on sale since 2008 and it’s not hard to miss it on the road. With an overall length of 197.5 inches (5,017 mm) and width of 78.3 inches (1,990 mm) for widebody versions, it’s longer than a three-row Toyota 4Runner and wider than the 8-passenger Nissan Pathfinder.

2021 Dodge Challenger GT AWD Review: It’s All In the Name

Gran Turismo. It’s more than a video game: clocking “GT” on the back of a car brings with it certain expectations.

There’s speed, of course, but grand tourers deliver it with added comfort over some hyperactive track toy. A good GT is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove.

That brings us to this, the 2021 Dodge Challenger GT AWD. An automotive curio, this model sends power to both axles of Dodge’s venerable pony car. The result isn’t just an all-weather option you won’t find at the Ford or Chevy dealerships, but a unique, affordable grand tourer with a distinctive American flavor.

2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody Review

There’s one in every crowd.

I’m talking about that friend who defies convention, eschews cultural norms. He’s loud, rude and often quite crude, unafraid of cracking a dirty joke in mixed company. Almost certainly not the person you’d take to a fancy restaurant, he’s nonetheless a one-man carnival and the guy everyone else wants to hang out with.

In many ways, the Dodge Challenger is that sort of rowdy companion. With Hemi power under the hood, this old-school coupe is boisterous and bellicose, but also an absolute blast, whether you’re ripping down a country two-lane, lighting up the rear skins or just blipping the throttle while sitting in rush-hour traffic.

    I agree with your assessment of the Dodge Challenger. I own a 2018 R/T Scat Pack with the Dynamics package and the car is a hoot to drive. I also have the 8.4" infotainment system which I like a well. I liked taking the car to various Cars & Coffee events and kicking tires with other owner's. Sadly, it looks like these activities will not take place as numerous car events have been cancelled due to the Corona Virus. Hopefully, I still plan on taking my Challenger out for a brief weekend ride just to give it some exercise and to enjoy the driving experience. By the way, I am 77 years old & this car reminds of the cars of the 1960's that I used to play around with, but the Challenger is much more refined and a better driving experience.
