    Actually, they COULD have a Garage Queen package!
    Royal purple interior, non-turning wheels to eliminate mileage and thus depreciation therefrom, and no gas tank.

    Imagine you're one of the lucky few to order the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. Looking at the build sheet, you're pouring over colors, graphics packages, and interior choices. Then you look at the options sheet and notice that a sunroof is $9,995. That's got to be a typo, right? Right?

    Order any other Challenger and the sunroof option only costs $1,295. That's not much on a SRT Hellcat costing over $70,000 and adds about two percent to the list price. However, the starting list price of the Demon 170 is $96,666, and the sunroof will increase the price by a full 10 percent.

    According to Dodge, “The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the most powerful muscle car in the world. A sunroof goes against the ethos of the vehicle, but we are making it available for customers who truly desire one.”

    In other words, Dodge really doesn't want to sell the Demon with a sunroof.

    Here is some Demon 170 alcohol-related trivia:

    1. The "170" in the Demon's name refers to 170 proof (E85 fuel is 85% alcohol).

    2. E85 fuel is used because of its higher 100-105 octane rating.

    3. All Demon 170 owners will receive whisky bar set in a wood box labeled with the owner's name and car VIN number. The set contains a decanter, two cocktail glasses, a stainless steel shot glass and coasters- all with the Demon likeness.

    4. The yellow Demon eye on the fender badge is a nod to most of the E85 fuel coming from corn.

    5. "Alcohol Injected" is etched on the hood scoop bezel and engine block.
