Don't let the car sit with E85 in the tank.

Also not bad to run some 91/93 in it every once in awhile.
Ethanol attracts moisture which can damage shit.
If you are constantly driving the car on e85, likely fine. I wouldn't park it all winter with e85 in the tank.

The manual says 3,000 mile or 6mos oil change which ever comes first. Says not to store car with E85.

Demon 170 front runners are made in China

Better reduce that limiter from 149 to 49

I can clearly remember when the wide body came out, lots of negative comments. As I recall more disliked it and now it seems more inverse. I guess it has grown on most not all. Personally I like the widebody and liked the 170 rear only wheel flare when it first appeared. lucky me for its eye candy, one man’s poison is another’s pleasure. One thing is a given certainty I will not shit on nor will I ruin it for someone else with unwarranted undertones for their preference. Of course we all like to bust on one another ie: Taxi Cab doors and the like but hasn’t there been enough negative vibe associated with this Swan Song Ice car, not to mention the cost even if ones lucky enough to score one @ MSRP. Personally if I could buy a170 at a reasonable price I would be all over it “yesterday” but I won’t bend over and spread them for it.

One more thing as far as rear tires and ride quality I have a very similar set up out back for tires. 2 years ago I went with custom rear 17” wheels with MT 315/50R17 ET Street R. Yes I chew through them, yes I mind my P’s and Q’s when driving at low temps and potential in coming rain storms. But ride quality isn’t bad. I think a Red Eye with this tire wheel combo would be at least similar to a 170. Of course the suspension tune would be slightly different for achieving optimized weight transfer on dig-launch in a 170 but I would say at least close.

Speed rating on tires, yes mine has seen far more than 149 for very short bursts. Certainly not long sustained runs. Common sense prevails. As far as 149 speed governed, I know it to be true with a caveat, that being a 149 speed cap plus a timer embedded in logic allowing for additional speed for a given time once 149 has been achieved, intentionally engineered for a greater top speed run in track mode for a quarter mile run. Certainly not advised for a high way high speed sustained runs. Anyone contemplating a 170 purchase should factor this in and decide if it is show stopper. If so don’t purchase. For me no prob I would purchase, just not with a FAT ADM.
