I wouldn't want to drive a Demon or 911 Turbo S as a daily driver.

Both have the same race only qualities that would eventually make them a chore to drive, in my opinion.
I had a 2015 Challenger, drove it a good bit and loved it. Had a 2017, ditto. Have a 2022 Challenger Redeye, ditto. I would love to try a Demon 170, but after contacting almost a 100 dealers, zip, nada, none. I'm not paying 100k+ over, for a D170. I think about the Demon, too much. There is always the next lifetime...

Damn things sit outside in all types of weather and then it's brought to you like it's a precious baby...🤣🤣🤣

Then people say that their car has never seen rain.
FYI: My Challenger Redeye has never seen snow/ice...

True, not everyday, but many days, it's hard NOT to drive, it's so enjoyable...

Mine never saw a hurricane or a tornado… but it did survive damn near everything else.

I've gotten caught in downpours in both the Charger and Challenger that we had with 555R2s on them.

It was a real treat when there's standing water in the road.

So apparently there are 2 170s set to cross the block at Mecum this weekend, one red and one black. Just funny because you know Dodge said the first deliveries are going to be sold orders at MSRP, and they know for sure so don’t tell us otherwise LOL

Here they are on the auction block while the car is still in production! It’s actually been the worst ADM and flip feat for a new car probably ever, and Dodge seems like the only entity not aware of that?

The problem is
Everyone lied about the MSRP 3 seconds after Dodge said MSRP was first
The dealer fills out a form & you check 1 of these boxes
Car was purchased at
Below MSRP
At MSRP
About MSRP

Who the phack checks off above MSRP after Dodge says back of line

Dodge s MSRP policy is about as thorough as Bidens immigration policy

And all those VIN matched cars were right up there at the front of the line too LOLOLOLOLOL

Even the guys at the plant don t know how they schedule these cars

Blind Monkey with a dart board does it

There are 170s for sale all over the place now. Sad really.

I'm betting they literally put VONs in a hat and randomly picked for build. That's the only thing that makes sense.

Pretty much.
Car was designed to showcase the DC catalog.

Going to laugh when the 3.0L blower is available in the parts book with e85 tune and it makes 1075-1100hp.
Well duh. of course you can BUILD just about anything u want. its like saying a 340 1970 cuda with a swapped out and massaged hemi is "better" than a 1 of 50 matching numbers unmodified 4speed hemi cuda...apples, cumquats...

I'm surprised, thought the price would have been higher.

It was. Buyer paid 247.5K

125-135K over sticker sounds about right....

Ya sorry
I m thinking its the same dude

His post Speedy



Here's an updated 60-130 time.
First attempt as it came off the transport 5.7
Second attempt ran a 5.33
Latest attempt ran a 5.07 - still struggling for traction rolling into it.
I'm sure there is more with better traction. Car is running with One Ethanol and ethanol content is e73, 150ish miles on the car.
His name is Zach. He is in the 4s now

One Ethanol content up to e86. Dropped tire pressure slightly. There's still more in it.

Too bad these cars didn't hit a month or 2 earlier, sure there would have been some at the track this fall. Still lots of areas someone will get them to the track

And the seller only took home 202.5 - assuming there was a reserve. That’s only 80 over sticker. Tough to have any sympathy for them.
