I'm well known to tell suppliers to bring in donuts. Even told my bosses bosses to do the same:p

That’s because it’s mandatory everyone at the factory has to fart in the seat for those sold at MSRP before it can leave the factory. That’s what all the signatures are on the window body sticker - everyone initials it after they fart in the drivers seat

Ron's asking price was pretty low comparatively.

@1971demon - twist my arm… I’ll take some pics and get them posted for you bud. If the weather is nice, I may have to roll up in a 170 for a group photo. I know a guy 😉

There are 3 guys in the background that appear to think your car is too loud? :unsure:

I find this confusing. Oh, yes, we ran right after the Pro Mods and I was the first pair of Demon 170's. Guess they were a little gun shy.

That’s 60’ on the back tire… and then some. Nice!

So @DRAGRCR, will the 315s/55s damage my car if I have the cradle locked out and spacers?

You have a narrow body. So, not really the same thing. That tire is 1.1" taller. I don't think I would even try them on a narrow body. It's up to you to look at your car and imagine and measure and consider any areas of contact compared to what you have now. Locking the cradle out has other uses. On the Demon 170 it calms down the violence during wheelhop quite a bit and it sure seems to do it less often. Without, it wheelhops every time it does not hook. And it seems abusive. For that reason I will not make one pass in a Demon 170 that is not locked out.

I know exactly what you mean. My car never went straight and always wheel hopped until I locked it out. Now it goes straight and only shakes the tires if the prep is horrible

No rusty suspension parts on this one. Dodge did an amazing job helping with this Demon 170 and for that I will be forever greatful. Glendale Dodge also gave me an amazing deal and took care of a detailed dealer prep and RF Hub Lockout and they covered the 3rd Key. They caught the oil overfill and we discussed it. It's all good.
