DRAGRCR ONESEAT DEMON WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

[DRAGRCR]

Went to Red List last Saturday. Not really sure but thinking this P O S S I B L Y might be my last event with this car...........

Drove really well and still got beat by 1 point. Spun 3 times and that is likely what handed me the loss..........$1000 cash down the drain. Dammit.

Put more fuel in tank.
I leave at idle.
17psi
Good burn out.
Mickeys 18”

That’s a decent 60’

Car had 5/8 tank on the first pass. I was leaving from 800 RPM Foot Brake (all passes).

 

[Unholy707]

Leaving off idle I can’t get past a 1.50 with 315s and beadlocks

 

[Unholy707]

Only trap a bit higher than you, 141-142. Best is 9.8, 300lbs out of the car. I’d say those a great times back to back like that

 

[Unholy707]

Need to modify it (I wouldn’t it’s a demon) or race something else if you’re trying to faster. If stock demon with just a little weight reduction those are great times

Until you get 3.09s in it is really hard to compare. Heck I'm running 2.62s

 

[Unholy707]

I just need those 315/55s!!

 

[Unholy707]

Or 325/60r15s… 3.70 is on its way out anyway, sounds horrible

 

[DRAGRCR]

I just wanted to say that a SRT Demon 170 purchase M I G H T necessitate me selling 1660. It is a great car, so I hate to let it go. But if I get a 170 it will lessen the pain.

Yeah for a 170 definitely. All around better car

So a 170 is in the crosshairs?

I am going to move forward and do whatever it takes to get one.

Good luck on your mission.

What was the gist of the internal email and what do you mean it was "harsh"? To who, the dealer potential buyers?

"I talked to the Owner of my preferred and trusted Dealer this morning on the phone and he read verbatim from an internal email/memo and it was really harsh on the allocations and how they were distributed and the availability of them. Really harsh. Kind of unbelievable."

 

[DRAGRCR]

It was from Stillantis or his area Rep and it was making it very clear you got what allocations you got and that is it. We don't want to have you asking for more, period. But it was really harsh, is all I can say.

That's very interesting since that was NOT the case in 2017 with the Demon OG. Many dealerships got ADDITIONAL allocations later in the process. The messaging you described suggests that Dodge went through what they could make and THAT WAS IT. No chance to add capacity beyond these 2806 cars it seems (or 3081 if you add 275 for Canada). And on the US side at least we are VERY close to 2806 right now that have already been ordered (using the DD numbers that have posted this week). Many of those could be dealer stock but that doesn't matter. Dealer stock = $300K+ once they arrive in the late fall to a showroom near you...

FYI- I have been battling obtaining race parts for years. Try obtaining one of the race motors or race parts in the Direct Connection catalog. Apparently, some parts for Vipers are not available.

Well that’s not good to hear. Wonder if the hellcat crate engines are the same way. I know they’re going to shut down production of the cars, but I wonder about the crates
