Shortly after the ordering window opened for the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, rumors about a secret Jailbreak option for the 1,025-horsepower muscle car began floating around. Details, none confirmed by Dodge, suggested that a small number of “select individuals” were invited to pick an exterior color from a list of options not in the standard 2023 color palate. Some claimed that 20 people were invited, while others claimed that 50 or more would be given this opportunity. Everyone agreed that the price of this custom paint option was a lofty $30,000.
