Driver Does It Without Transbrake or Launch
A bone-stock 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 was recently filmed careening down the drag strip in an impressive 9.39-second quarter-mile run, boosted by the usage of ethanol. Although the performance-enhancing power of the effective fuel cannot be understated, it’s the points that make the record even more fascinating.
The four-hundred-meter blast, caught on tape by the proprietor and commander of the car, Stephen Rippa from Ripatuned, was attempted in a Demon 170 with barely six-seven miles registered on its odometer. As a result, Rippa was unable to access the vehicle’s start-up regulation which isn’t available until after 500 miles.
Until now, the TransBrake 2.0 system of the vehicle has been out of reach until a user has driven 500 miles. This system should make it possible to customize the torque and power performance to magnify traction.
As indicated by Rippa, he encountered a reduction in grip, yet he felt its commanding 1,025-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 produces more than suggested.
Despite Rippa’s Demon 170 not living up to its proclaimed 8.91-second quarter mile time, its present recorded score of 147 mph at the line isn’t vastly different. When the TransBrake and launch control components are added in, it’s likely that breaking the 9 second barrier can be attained.

It has become popular with thousands of people liking and commenting on it. The post has really caught the attentions of many with its message clearly standing out. It has helped to raise awareness about a vital topic that needs to be discussed.
The mechanic asserted that the car’s ZF 8HP90 eight-speed automatic transmission possesses ample torque management from the factory. Nonetheless, he remarked that the gear shifts were somewhat sluggish for his taste and that a brisk tune could open up the possibility for even swifter shifts.
Rippa and his business, Ripatuned, are now devising a suitable tuning program for the Dodge. To get an accurate baseline, they’ll first take the car over to the dyno. From there, they will design a Stage 1 package.
We are eagerly awaiting the results of this, as it is the same company that generated an incredible 1,000 horsepower from a twin-turbo and supercharged RAM TRX.
