Two SRT Demons didn\u2019t sell at $105,000 and $117,500. One sold at $126,500. Another sold for $132,000.&nbsp;Then this SRT Demon, built for IndyCar legend Michael Andretti, came up. We all wondered what his name may add to the price of the car. Turns out, nothing.

This yacht is powered by FOUR diesel engines generating close to 2,000 horsepower. It has FIVE staterooms. Mahogany wood and granite everywhere. It can even make its own fresh water while at sea. If it catches your eye, it\u2019s still available for sale! &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole time that was going on, thousands of speed junkies got their fix with our Dodge Thrill Rides; sliding 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats through a drifting course can get anyone\u2019s blood pumping.
