Dodge Redeyes

[Jimmy N.]

The 6 cylinder done right doesn't sound bad at all.

Agree. The Cummins in my 3500 doesn't sound bad, and the Cat in the Pete sounded really good.

Here is a shot of the inline 6 with a police escort

Well maybe its not a 6

GTA = Grand Theft Auto...

I would imagine they sell both, maybe even all 3 if they develop a redeye in response to the raptor R.

There's a large portion of raptor 3.5 owners that love their sound and fuel economy.

The 6 cylinder done right doesn't sound bad at all.

Inline 6's can sound pretty good actually.

Assuming Dodge gets invoice price (or thereabouts) I cannot understand how they can pay back the development costs of the 170 with just 3k (or less) units. Just like most things in this Brave New Woke World, I don't understand...

The other thing, with so many unique new parts, will these collectibles be maintainable in 10 years? It might end up costing more than the selling price to get replacement parts!

Most of the dev cost is in the crate setups outside of programming, which can be used for future race EVs

In yet another installment of history repeating itself...people make a run on all the leftover Hellcat/Redeye/Demon OEM parts in the next few years and stash them away, then in 10-20 years the NOS stuff will be super expensive for restorations!

 

[Unholy707]

The parts will probably eventually be direct connection parts as wel

Yep. It’s going to be bad

Ahhh, so that's where they will make back the development costs!

This is the future of Dodge, and all EV's, looks like this was in a dealer's lot too!

I bet the protocol will eventually be, let it burn, protect nearby structures.

 

[2ndAmend]

Also, will EV fires be covered under the 5/60 warranty? And what will this do to insurance rates?

Not too many options
CF wheels that are not available
Useless sunroof
Interior which includes all kinds of shit
Stripes
Nav

I d guess north of 120K if you include the sunroof

Sunroof is the biggest rip off in these cars...would rather have a gator in my back seat then a sunroof...yeah David you heard that right...

So, if we need to do another D-Day somewhere, we will need to ship and transport electrons to the front lines to keep the offense going. It's a mental disease...

I can't be a hypocrite now can I, if I'm getting angry at all these dealers for holding onto their demons for 100k adms and their redeyes for 20k over but then I'm going and ordering multiple of each cars It would be like the pot calling the kettle black.

Yer BLACK????

 

[Unholy707]

I heard the used car batteries are going to the same place the losing teams Super Bowl t shirts go

The Demon flips happened quickly.
But by 2019, the Demon market had cooled. There was one on BAT that sold for 105k or something in 2019. A loaded Demon OTD was probably 105k depending on taxes etc.

As for the motor company, I disagree. They should be involved because when a dealer does bad, it looks bad on the manufacturer.

The more press about markups and bad dealer tactics get out, that reflects on Dodge. And if you listen to Timmy talk, they are watching what is being said about their company. Dodge doesn't want these practices in place because it drives away customers.

Lets say you buy a Demon 170 and love the thing. You take it to the track to race it. But realize, its not a car its a toy. You need a truck. Its likely you are going to go back and buy a Ram truck.
Now, your wife or kids want a car. Back to that same dealer for a Wagoneer or Pacifica for the wife and a Wrangler for the kid.

But if you pissed off that buyer they might go and order a Mustang Dark Horse at MSRP. Now they buy a F150, Bronco, and Expedition.
And all the oil changes, tire rotations, brake jobs, service intervals etc that come with it.
And its likely they become repeat customers in 3-5 years.

I know several people who are brand loyal based off of their first transaction being so great.

I remember talking to a gentlemen at the drag strip that got big into Chevys because of the Z/28. He raced a 911 for years. But then got jerked around when he wanted to step up to the GT3.
Chevy announced the Z/28 and he bought it and never looked back.
Bought a 2500 Silverado.
Wife got a Caddy
And he was drag racing a 6th gen ZL1 at the time I was talking to him.

Hard times will return, it will be nice to have loyal customers to get you through those moments.

But we all have learned, these dealers don't give a fuck about any of that.

There is a certain segment of customers that are loyal....most are bottom feeders and shop dealer to dealer trying to wring the last dollar outta a deal...the dealer network is no different..some good...some not so good...both groups are exceptional people...and unfortunately in the minority...
