What kind of dog are you going to put in it?

This is so crazy that this is coming up. My wife and I named our car and dash plaque after our rescue dog . Below is a picture of Zoomi Johnson. I will send the dash plaque picture once I receive it.
I will say Zoomi was very upset hearing that his motor will blow up!

It would scare even the toughest ones out there. At least Zoomi knows his limitations unlike some other Demon 170 owners. Cool dog!

My Hellcat Charger Widebody 2021 has 19108 and had a fuel pump replaced under warranty. Not been run really hard at all but has been stomped and romped on a few times not any other problems and runs like a bandit! I most certainly have no complaints whatsoever!
Nice. But I think you installed the SRT puddle light upside down(or switched passenger and driver side)
BTW which ones are those they are clean. I’ve seen the ones with the cat heads but that’s too much for me.

Love the never fade. They most certainly will after enough time.
Lots of funny stuff in here. So much BS and click bait on YT and people believe it. Seems to me yes there are some QC issues, bad plugs from factory, and I am told running 93 Octane is a huge no due to a tuning issue by Dodge. So I only run mine on E85 now. I factory ordered mine from a dealer who was somewhat reasonable about his markup. I don’t care what anybody thinks they are worth because I love mine and won’t ever be selling it anyway. Just going for my 500 mile oil change tomorrow and zero issues so far. Still have 114 months of warranty left so not overly concerned about my car, and I have followed the break in procedures in the manual. But really now I have 500 miles and after an oil change tomorrow, I am free to do as I please except for no track use until 1500 miles.

I have 2300 KM, Canada car and we do not have E85 at any gas stations here. I run 91 or 93 octane and no issues. Car is great. I did the first oil change at my local dealer at 1000 km also no issues. No track time but street use is wonderful. These cars will last forever.
Then turn it off. Simple. Done.
Be careful on 91 or 93 octane.
It’s your car and do as you please. But I would not run 93 octane in it. Either 91 with no ethanol or E85 is what I was told due to a tuning issue when you have 93 octane in it that allows too much boost. I am not an expert in this by any means but don’t want to hurt my motor even if it is under warranty. So I just run E85 now and buy it by the drum. I don’t drive it that much and can get almost 400 miles to a drum.

If you are up in the north like me and store your car for the winter you do not want to store it with E85. Too much water content.
I know these are the greatest creation by mankind but I for one am glad I didnt get one. After reading through the pro’s and cons they are way too temperamental for someone like me who will never see the strip. Cant romp it on pump gas, need to find E85 but cant store it with E85. For me it’s a little TOO track focused for someone who just wants to go get some gas up the street and go for a romp, and then park it for a while without worrying about what’s in the tank. My Redeye is perfection for me.
To stretch out your E85 by the drum try a 50/50 93 & E85 tank. The flex fuel tune is real good in these cars & run good showing around E40 / 960 horsepower on the dash. Also they make full power at E65 not E85. 91 octane, Rec 90, high octane race gas, octane boosters or any low E content fuel is suicide IMO.
