2017 Viper ACR

With its powerful namesake, it’s easy to see how the 2017 Viper ACR could find itself on our list of Dodges with the most horsepower. This supercar boasts 645 hp and can reach 100 mph in just 7.5 seconds. With a pushrod 20-valve V-10 and 600 lb-ft of torque, there’s no doubt about it. This car is fast.

Although production of the Viper was retired in 2017, there is hope that new models will be revealed in the years to come. However, for now, there are pre-owned options available.

• Horsepower: Up to 645.
• 1/4 mile: 11.5 seconds at 126 mph.
• Engine Type: 8.4-liter V-10.
• MSRP: Starting at $118,795.

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is mightier than the Hellcat model and can reach up to 840 hp. Although production of this specific model ceased after 2018, it remains one of the most powerful cars ever produced by Dodge. Many of its transmission and engine perks are still available on the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.

The heart of this Challenger is its 808 hp supercharged Hemi V-8, which can only reach that 840 hp pinnacle if you fill the tank with 100-plus-octane racing fuel. Along with a purchase of the $1 Demon Crate package, which adds a unique extra controller for your engine, this demonic Challenger could cover a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds.

Its many other enhancements make this car a true speed demon. Some of these save and redistribute weight, such as adjustable dampers to help transfer the load to the back end of the car. The eight-speed transmission includes a trans brake that helps your car launch harder off the starting line. Rounding out the list is a set of flared fenders that cover tires with enhanced traction. With all these upgrades, the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is sure to make all your horsepower dreams come true.

• Horsepower: Up to 840.
• 1/4 mile: 9.65 seconds at 152 mph.
• Engine Type: 6.2-liter V-8.
• MSRP: Starting at $86,390.

2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock

With the retirement of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon came the rise of the new Super Stock model. Although it helps to fill the void left behind by the Demon, you lose out on one horsepower, which leaves it with a whopping 807 hp. With the ability to go from zero to 60 in just 3.25 seconds, you’re sure to turn heads on the quarter mile in a Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock.

In contrast to just 3,300 units for the 2018 Demon, the 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock lived up to its name with no limits on production. This makes the 2020 and newer models much more widely available.

• Horsepower: Up to 807.
• 1/4 mile: 11.5 seconds at 126 mph.
• Engine Type: 6.2-liter V-8.
• MSRP: Starting at $75,820.

2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody

Thanks to the telltale roar of the engine, everyone will hear you coming in your 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. As its name suggests, this model boasts a wider body to improve stability and provide a more menacing stance. With its Supercharged 6.2-Liter Hemi V-8 engine, this powerful sedan can unleash a whopping 797 hp. With some personalization, you could even reach up to 807 hp, as it has similar features to the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon.

While this model could outperform most others at the racetrack, it’s also nimble and practical enough to tote your family and their gear. Just make sure you let the kids out well before you see that checkered flag waving.

• Horsepower: Up to 807.
• 1/4 mile: 10.81 seconds at 130 mph.
• Engine Type: 6.2-liter V-8.
• MSRP: Starting at $87,335.

2023 Dodge Challenger

The newest Challenger offers various engines, making it a great choice as your daily vehicle or for racing at a track. The base engine, a V-6, outputs just over 300 hp, which is perfect for city driving. However, as you move up through the trim options, you can opt for larger engines and switch up to a V-8.

If you’re itching for speed, you’ll want to go for a Hellcat engine. This supercharged V-8 ranges from 717 hp to a whopping 807 hp. Few competitors come close to matching that level of power, and no one tops it. The closest is the Ford Mustang, which only puts out 760 hp.

Whether you opt for the base V-6 model or the supercharged V-8, you may have fuel economy in mind. The rear-wheel drive V-6 engine model will get 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. As you move up through the trims, your gas mileage will drop, but if you opt for the supercharged V-8, fuel economy probably isn’t top of your list of concerns. Nevertheless, the supercharged V-8 Hellcat engine will get 13 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway.

• Horsepower: Up to 807.
• 1/4 mile: 10.8 seconds at 131 mph.
• Engine Type: Supercharged 6.2-liter V-8.
• MSRP: Starting at $32,025.
