Demon 170, will any be 100k, probably not

[Bowtie Guy]

Thats good being most are not even driving them

I remember back in 1998 I think it was
I bought a Dodge RT extended with a 360
2 years later I get a notice in the mail because Dodge F D up the towing limit
There was a few options offered
They bought the truck back in full to the penny
Crazy

Buying a 1,025 HP car that is speed limited to 149 mph is flawed as it limits all types of racing and also caps the 1/4 mile performance. That is the bottom line. I have no desire to modify it as I have a hellcat for that and pro mod (that is still no finished). If I would have had that information 11 months ago I would have never chased down an allocation.

Again it doesn't cap at 149. It will exceed it briefly as speedy pointed out during the 1/4 mile. Unless you are in really good da, it won't even come up

Plenty of people that will buy it from you so either way you lose nothing

So it will hit 151 (maybe) then drop down to 149 mph, that is ridiculous. What happened to the 215 MPH?

Maybe you should address SRT? Wait, are they still available?

Not sure what your point is, there is nothing to address with SRT. It is crystal clear that the car is speed limited to 149 and it is also clear that the advertising said otherwise.

No one here has the solution to your problem.

Don't buy the car. Seems simple if it bothers you.

I agree, that is probably where I am headed.

Not just my problem, watch it unfold.

I doubt enough people even drive these cars to care. I've been driving mine around getting the break in miles on it and it drives awesome though. Way better than I expected.

Some nice sidewalls for a smother ride
They sit nicer then the 2018 & the wheel tire combo looks better ( size wise ) in my opinion

 

[Speedy!]

I honestly didn't think I'd like the flares only on the back, but seeing it in person it looks a lot different than pictures for some reason. Looks pretty mean actually. I really love the 3.09 gears. Keeps things peppy.

Jim Wilder says the tires were custom made by Mickey Thompson for the 170 and will last 10,000 miles. I'll be shocked if that's true.

Gone like a fart in the wind.

Mine will never see 10,000 miles...not in my life time anyway...

 

[Speedy!]

That's too bad. I love driving mine.

That's too bad. I love driving mine.

I know I will too...but still workin..grandkids..still ride... motorcycles..my cars and bikes don't get wet,,(ever)..plus summers are too short up here..kinda limits the mileage...but I'm okay with that when I do get to use em...theres nowhere I'd rather be...

Takes some getting used to, the rear flare only. At the very least, it instantly lets you know what car it is

What's the D170 owners manual say about using E85 in regard to maintenance? Anything about differing maintenance intervals vs 93? Any special procedures required? E85 tends to dilute engine oil more than 93, I've heard. It also attracts water more readily, corrosion? Shelf life of E85 vs 93?

I have heard about the oil thing too and had sent my oil in after going to it. Nothing showed up. When e85 came out so many things were said because people didn't know what it would do and a lot of bad info went out there. Some cars did have some issues but being they were not e85 compatible people think every car will have issues. I know people that have been running e85 since the mid 2000s and have no issues because they made sure everything would work with it
