Should I Stop Racing my Demon 170? SELL IT INSTEAD?

- I give you my thoughts on racing my Demon 170 again after my original engine had to be replaced. Many have told me that they think I should sell the car and cut ties with Dodge and Stellantis altogether. Should I continue to drag race the car after what happened to the engine? Is there a design flaw? What do you think I should do with the car?

It's a factory drag car and that's why you bought it. That's also why I enjoy and follow RacerX. Race it again and we're here to see what happens.
The Challenger Drag Pak car from mopar is the factory drag car. Race prepped and not street legal. These were a marketing and cash grab car. Even in the warranty it states your warranty “ may” be voided if raced.
We all know it will be Sold soon
Race it. Break it. Fix it. Repeat.
Never give up. Never Surrender.
That sounds like a waste of Money actually lol
@@Martinezm0500 Taxes are a waste of money. Doing something that brings you joy is priceless
@elliott1289 I just locked up my supercharger yesterday on my redeye... only 3k miles on the build after waiting 2yrs the original shop was bought out now not sure if they will warranty the work. I am probably looking at the Gen 6 Whipple which is 10-12 weeks turn around
How many times do you think dodge will replace the engine lol...at some point racerx will see the engine blow again at the strip and will get a $50,000 bill next time
Been that way since the first drag race
Hey, I think you’re a great guy. I really enjoy your channel. Please take no offense to my suggestions. I am a master mechanic. I have built engines. After 500 miles change the oil and filter. Do not even think about racing it until you’ve got at least 1500 miles on it.. at that point change the oil and filter again. If you spend a day at the dragstrip, change the oil and filter each and every time before you go back to race it. Please understand that even though it has been modified to drag race, this is a very extreme hard service use of the vehicle. It wasn’t designed from the ground up to drag race. It has been modified to do that. If you continually race it on a regular basis, the engine and transmission are going to wear at a much higher rate than they normally would, if you were driving it on the street. After about 25,000 miles or sooner of hard use you’re going to have to plan to go through that motor again and possibly the tranny. Plan on it ahead and don’t be surprised. I’m glad for you that you’re having fun with it. That’s what it’s all about.😊
Please listen to this person, and save yourself a lot of headaches.
25,000 miles is a good estimate, say if it's driven normally a hemi can last 200-300k of easy miles before the lifter ticking gets unbearable. For example if 10,000 of those 25,000 miles are WOT (driving to the drag strip, and 1/4 mile back down the strip driving slowly), that will wear out the transmission clutches and engine very fast. On the 200-300k engine lets say the person does a wot pull every 10 miles up until highway speeds (~75mph). That should be about half the time down the drag strip with less wear, heat, and easier launch on the drivetrain components. Plus everything has time to cool down with fast flow coolant instead of almost idling after a 1/4 mile pull.
Back in the mid 60's my friend raced his 383 cu in. '65 Satellite everyday whenever he could -AND- Guess WHAT? He used to pull over a sewer grate and drain the "used" oil down the sewer and the he added fresh oil NO he didn't always change the filter to my knowledge!!
I wouldn't be scared to race it again. As long as you document the proper break in process, and any of the Stellantis advice to break it in. If it fails twice, then yeah, you may want to part with it.
Agree, He should give it one more shot , if it fails again then that’s sad .. and he needs to sell it Definitely
@@malik777able I hear that. However, I'd be tempted to keep racing it anyway and force Dodge to replace the engine every time it blows until they won't anymore at which time I would sue them for a 100% return on my purchase. I'd seriously like to see how long this car can be raced before it blows again, if it fails at all that is...
@@artillerybuff2000I was think the same , minus Sue them in the end .. I get a ton of new engines and then when they stop fix it , that's when I will rip that engine out and either rebuild it myself my way or find a differant powerplant if in fact it's the engine ... but from what I gather it's a helaphant base hopped the truck up ... idk if that's a fact or not but if that's the case .. then I would inspect why all the engines died , and try to make a billet or stronger part or some type of support to what keeps breaking and run it again ... cuz let's keep it 💯, the car it's self is a solid platform and a icon at that (from the past atleast) so if nothing else , the challenger and all it's hopped up body , wiring , ecu , braking , suspension, ect .. would still be a good use .. but I do get were you come from as they are not cheap lol .. peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z
We all know it will be sold soon
@@artillerybuff2000 Good point🤔 I mean that sounds like an option, but I’m sure a lot of people aren’t into the whole having to do the court stuff and suing . If this fails again I’m sure Racer X would just wanna get the engine replaced then get the thing off his hands asap
As long as you have your warranty, & enjoy racing. You only live once. Have fun.
What a beauty! Race it sir. Enjoy all the vids brother👊
Racer X- my suggestion is to drive the car as you did for the first break in on the original engine , however take several oil samples at maybe every 300/400 mile intervals. Replace the oil filter at 500 miles and check it thoroughly for metal particles. Just Sayin good luck and I’m glad I have a subscription to your sight.
Paul please keep it brother
Its still a masterpiece
Keep pushing
Race it. it is still under warranty.
I still think it needs that rear ended conversation to get a fatter tire on!
You bought it to run it... keep it an run it..!!! I'll keep watching.!!
Racerx don't let the negative comments get in your head... Do you and do it well.. Most of us appreciate the fact that you actually race yours cars....
I do appreciate you and the experience that of which you share.
I can't even imagine if the engine blew up on anyone else. They would be blaming the owner, it would be super difficult to get a hold of someone to help, they would make excuses not to look at it. Guy might never get it fixed or it would be down for like a year.
True Facts!
Everyone needs to start a CZcams channel these days to get taken care of.
I said the same thing in a post that i put up he knows Tim K and he is out now so no more help from the top . Anyone else car will still be in the shop
@@brentdecant9934 I was looking at Hellcats, but F that, I'm keeping my C7 Corvette!
@@failingup4907 if you want one get one build b4 2020 those things dont have the issue the new last call and covid ones do
@@failingup4907yall listen to the people who have had bad experiences but that’s truly a small percentage. Hellcat charger jailbreak with 15k miles on it so far only issue was a catalytic converter went bad definitely probably could’ve turned it on me but brought it in took then a few hours to look at it and about a week for the part to come in (got my car back for the week) dropped it off early in the morning and was able to pick it up around closing time same day no issues or questions whatsoever. Also car still runs great like the day I got it.
Keep it race it that's why you bought it.
RacerX,
Your Not fearful. Just NERVOUS. Here we go again, back to the flat track.
I’m sure all your subscribers want to see you push this MONSTER to the limit.
Change the oil after every trip to the flat track to strain and inspect for metal.
That’s still the only worry.
Hopefully not a worry with this MONSTER heart transplant.
Watched this video three times. Your content is never boring. Thx for the update.
If Stellantis cannot tell you what caused the first failure, I'd be concerned about the new engine having the same fate. If it happens again, I think they are going to push back on replacing the engine.
No chance, car is covered for five years as long as it is used as intended, and that is to race!
@@artillerybuff2000 maybe so but, the can drag hind tit getting around to it.
I doubt anyone works there that knows anything about these engines anymore
They have no choice but to stick with the warranty and replace it.Because he can make a big stink about it and they will do it.
So just because its under warranty, still run the risk? Sounds like some people who only lease... Imagine paying for something when YOU know it's going to break for its "intended purpose" & being okay with it because "warranty" 😂
Race it, enjoy it, it is a BA car, and they are masterpieces of history. It's really cool to see you in your Demon 170. Don't listen to the negative. You are doing it. ❤
It will be hard to enjoy, with the worry of an issue in the back of his mind.
It's like having a new car and wrecking it, then it getting fixed.. it's NEVER the same
@johnnyturbo8460 true, but that way of thinking is not good. I am an engineer and fabricator. Things break, and if you throw them away, that is your mindset, not everyone else's. I fix things that are broken, and things break.
@crebbsjd My way of thinking is perfectly clear. As an engineer who builds, races, owns, crashes, and repeats, I fully understand what I'm saying and double down on it.
No one is asking him to "throw it away." I'm simply stating that sometimes you have to know when it's best to walk away.
At this point, it may be best to walk away if he can make a profit or break even.
It WILL only go down from here no matter what for that car. It works great it has a replacement engine.. it lasts forever, it will never hold its value with a replacement engine. Not to mention the constant worrying if it will break again, and next time on his dime
@@johnnyturbo8460 Simply not true! Many very high value 1960's Mopar muscle cars have factory replacement engines in them! Even though its a replacement engine it is still considered as factory to his car!
@lisam4503 oh its true, and a big part of the issue is all this car's issue is on CZcams.
From not getting great times to a complete engine failure. (Related or not) It's a known "problem car"
Bottom line, it won't get more valuable. It's only going to deprecate, and at a more rapid rate than usual.
You may believe it's normal, but most 170 buyers won't. Lots of them want a low mile, non abused car they can put in their car collection and just look at it.
Only time will tell, but that's my opinion.
I say keep it and make it your own. Even if you end up modding it. But if you decide to sell it, I totally understand. No matter what choice you make, I'm here for the channel either way! 💯🔥🤛
Mod it? It's already ready to blow up straight from the factory.
Exactly , the warranty is done if you mod it?
I would not mod it until at least the warranty runs out
@@windwalker121 Mods like 15" conversion...
@@edwardqueffelec9815 15" conversion. Mods that don't void a warranty and can be undone... ect.
I watch your channel because you use your cars, so keep doing what you do, Break it in and don’t baby it. 👍
Yes racerx dont just quit the demon 170 a real racer wont do that and you are a real racer!!!!
Hey RacerX,I doubt I will ever be able to own and drive the machines you have had so I live vicariously through you. That is why I watch your channel.
I appreciate that you are so transparent when it comes to the car world, I agree I think some people only show when they have a good day on the track. Never when it's a bad day..
I’m glad to hear you plan on keeping it and racing it more. I really want to see more content with the Demon 170. Even if there are more issues with the car you’re one of the few that’s pushing it to its limits and sharing what could happen with it. I appreciate what you do RacerX.
Enjoy the car as u please..Racer X, we R living vicariously through u since most cannot afford a Demon 170....💪✌️..
7/10 people will leave negative comments because they are bitter about their own life
Keep at it!!
Not even a dodge guy but I so appreciate you owning one and using it to its potential
I’m $150k into a Supra, at least you have a new car to show for it 😂
Wow.. I bet that’s a wicked Supra 👍
Keep up the good content. Good luck with the new engine. FYI we're in the Jegs All Star race at the Fall Nat's this year in Ennis.
I have followed you for a long time and I knew you wouldn’t give up on the Demon 170. Keep up the great content and let’s see some awesome races.
Yay, glad you got it back. I'm ready for your next drag strip videos 🙂.
I love all your videos thanks for everything if it wasn't for you guys I would be lost thanks to all my car guys out there sharing videos
Follow your heart and stay true to what you love brother! Hammer down. Love the content. Keep it coming.
Don't sell it, please RACE IT! If that car cannot be raced it is worthless in my mind. If it cannot be used as intended and stay together then it is also worthless. Stay with it and let's see how it does. This car is the reason I came back to your channel!
Brother no if it breaks again it needs to go . How does an engine give up under 10k?
It’s not a normal Engine. It’s 1000 hp flex fuel monster. That does wheelies for chrissakes. Anything pumping out 1000 horses can blow on day one. Any motor can blow on day one.
@@williamrose7184 there are motors making more living everyday getting beat on you tell me this fully fresh engine can’t survive a few hits like any other fully loaded motor ?
@@demarkisdinkins2737 Ha, really? As a retired dealership technician I can tell you I've seen just about every major drivetrain component fail in a vehicle within the first 12 months in just about every make and model out there, and we're not talking high horsepower supercars either. Any mechanical device can and does fail. The test for this car will be if the replacement engine holds up. If it, and other Demon's like it, keep turning up blown when raced, then we'll know. Until then we need to make some popcorn, sit back, and watch the show...
First off, you can drive don’t pay attention to the inter web.
Second it’s a first year production car there’s no way to foresee all the issues that may arise that’s why you hear a lot of people say don’t but a first year “anything”
Personally I think it’s an oiling issue it launches so hard oil is removed from key areas, now if a person could come up with an oil system to counter that launch force and market it …but who knows if that’s really the issue.
I would like to see you continue running the car maybe it breaks maybe it doesn’t maybe dodge gains knowledge through breakage who knows?
It should be a wild ride going forward!!
Glad you don't sugar coat your content X. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for keeping us updated and I’m definitely gonna say keep the demon and full send. If it breaks it breaks.
Race it my friend!
RacerX You're the Man to get her done! 💪😁
You are a True Authentic man…thanks for taking us along on the ride with you. I appreciate your true honesty.
Real life is NOT perfection & winning 100% of the time…anyone who has any smarts should already know & realize this…A lot of other CZcams channels are Very fake.
Keep being you X.👍
Looking forward to more race content with your Challenger Demon 170💪🤩💪👍👍
FACTS BRO THATS WHY I LOVE THIS CHANNEL💯U 1 OF THE ONLY PPL WIT A DEMON WHO REALLY BE RACING🤩🤩
Wit?
Check out Ron Silva. He raced the 2018 Demons for years (and tons of other stuff years before that), and is now racing the 170 Demon and setting records. In fact, he owned two 170 Demons and has raced them both with zero issues. He recently sold the red one and kept the blue one.
AwesomeX《☆》Kudos for being Honest about Your experience with the 170. I hope You'll continue Racing it. Hopefully it will do well on the Track and be the Boost to Your Channel that it was intended to be✌🏼😎☯️
Hats off to racer x atleast he post the reality of car and shows everyone the pros and cons of it not like other CZcamsrs. He knows how to own a drag race car and not make a garage queen
I would just keep it, enjoy it, and drive it. No need to necessarily race it. Maybe once a year race her. I have a Raptor R but that does t mean that I should take it down and go through Baja regularly. It can be a special occasion…I am a big believer in having your dream car if you can afford it.
Facts the young people want to beat up and race their cars every day
you are doing a great job with the channel. I can't wait for you to hit the track again. Are you considering a 15 inch conversion or will that void the warranty?
Id keep it until the banshee comes out, buy a banshee for content.
Whatever you decide, we will still stay tuned in. One of my favorite channels on youtube!
Race, have fun with it, do cool mods. I'm looking forward to seeing the seats you swap out with. Also be cool if you did a rear seat delete video...I want to do that with my 1320.
RacerX !! Race the car until they make until it breaks!! Iron men in wooden ships….not wooden men in iron ships!! They must make a car for a guy like You!!
Hey Mr.X I love the Dodge videos keep doing you brother follow and feel what YOU want to do,like you said you gotta take risks and never quit something you just started we are just here to watch your journey and for you to educate us if we want to get in on it as well you’re the captain of your course keep the charter going! love watching your vids! 🔥
Mopar or no car boys!! -melch🗿
Keep up the content thank you sir
Keep it, break in the engine and continue bringing is great videos and content from the track.
Definitely enjoy having fun driving one of the best drag racing cars of all time.
RacerX I hope you race it like you wanted to. Lots of haters and people hiding behind youtube profiles. You are an up-front guy who I'm glad I found before buying my Scat Pack.
Put a dry sump oil system on it. Keep fresh oil in it while you are racing it, have the oil analyzed, and have fun.
Buy a $75K purpose built race car and you have to change the oil system to race it? WTF?
I would see if it's possible to simply install a Moroso Oil Accumulator. Might do the trick for preventing oil starvation at around $300. However I could imagine that being used as a poor excuse to void the warranty.

@@robertbriggs4176
Where can you buy a Demon 170 for $75,000? That would be without an engine.
@@johnmcmullen456
Milodon makes a pan that is supposed to contain the oil and not let it sling away from the pickup. But I would get an okay from Dodge before I installed it, for warranty issues. A dry sump is the only 100% cure. Poor design for the launch this car has.
Awesome content buddy 🙏👍💪
Keep it and do what you set out to do!
Its great content and full of knowledge
Continue to race it, in fact being the car up north here to Canada for an event like in the fall and i promise you will run an 8.9 at Toronto motor sports park with the CJR performance prep it’s always spot on !
Race it. I love your channel. you're a great, guy! I wish you all the luck and happiness with car.
If you ever want to sell down the road, I'd be interested in buying from you.
Thank you kindly, and happy racing RACERX!
Run it!!! If anyone deserves to run this car, it's you!! Love your channel!!! Enjoy!!!!
keep it brother! dial it in, and go after that high 8 :P
Racer X friend I'm glad you get your Dodge Demon 170 Muscle Car back !! And that's what the Warrentines are fou !! So keep up your great work OK 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
Keep that bad azz machine
Goin to be worth major bucks. Rock on 🤘
Too many people way overpaid. Up to a quarter million above MSRP. Nearly all are in a hermetically sealed climate controlled chamber with only delivery miles. I imagine that sitting idle for 5-20 years won't do the car any good. Nearly all will be sold with near 0 miles. It would be much harder to turn a profit if your Demon has thousands of miles on it.
By the way, love these cars. If I had a choice, I would prefer an older 6 speed manual Hellcat or Demon.
Far more likely to spike in value, since manual cars are nearly nonexistent in today's market.
Racer X great channel and just go ahead and race your Demon. There are car makers out there who will say you drove your car too hard or something and void your warranty. I have seen that a couple of times over the years. So I would not feel to bad right now because Dodge did fix your Demon. If something else were to happen who knows but I think in your case for the content you will get it's worth taking the risk! Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to seeing you race your Demon!
Dodge sold it to rich ppl that will just keep it in a garage instead of selling it to ppl that actually race their cars. They marked them up like $50k-100k over sticker 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. But hey do whatever is good for you man. There’s always more options out there for sure. Keep that fire 🔥 content coming
Perhaps that's what they were counting on. Shame on them if true. I'd make them replace the engine after every race if it keeps failing until they got sick of me and bought it back at the full over inflated marked up price!
Keep it bro!!!! Please keep it.
Hi RX, you've already made the commitment. No turning back now. 😁 Change the oil and filter after every time at the drag strip. Maybe check with someone knowlegable in that transmission and if there is better trans fluid you can use. See you in your next episode when you're back at the track!
Whatever you choose to do, it will be a choice that suits your needs and desires. Best to you brother.
Man keep that car! Dodge took care of you and you got a BRAND NEW engine. KEEP IT!!
Damn bro has the most beautiful eyes i have ever seen, i am jealous! Enjoy your car brother, don't sell it
🗿
Yooo...keep your eye's on the car sir.
They should take care of you since you bought their top level car. Nice to see you put it to the test.
Haters are gonna hate. Keep it! Race it! We should all race for the fun and love of racing. Awesome channel.
Keep it have fun with it.
Your a real car guy no drama no bs nuff said race it…That’s why you bought it!!
You’re living the dream of many of us! Don’t sell the car, live out our dream and take us along the ride with you, no matter how it goes!
It hurts when it's your pride and joy and it needs to be wrenched on. I have a '23 Scat TA and I don't like people looking at it let alone touching it. It's painful, especially an engine. I know how you feel. Been thru that with my Trans am. Hope everything goes well from now on. 👍
Good for you. Keep it and have fun! Really, what do you have to lose? Car still under warranty and you have their support. On losing one race... the best lose here and there. That's the nature of it. Racing is an odd thing. So much has to come together for that perfect run. I don't think there is anyone in sports that has a spotless record. Keep it coming. Great Fidel. Good luck with the new motor.
Great video good information, you shouldnt be scared you have warranty and you are using it for what they made it for.. Also cover tim kuniskis leaving us 😢
Keep it. You bought it for the sole purpose of racing. I wanna see you race it. Most of the people that say sell it prolly don’t realize the pros and cons of racing. Things break period. But love the channel and im here for it.
Sounds healthy. The pops and gurgles. Yeah take it easy this time. Low rpm's can never HURT
I found your channel when you had a 392 Scat Pack, and I really enjoyed all the fun races you did in that beast.
Do not, and I repeat *"DO NOT"* get rid of your Demon 170. Keep that beast alive. You're channel was the main reason why I own a beautiful 2022 Dodge Challenger 392 R/T Scat Pack finished in Smoke Show Gray with Red Calipers and a Sunroof. I even got the beautiful Alcantara Ruby Red Seats with red doors and the red stitching.
But you do what makes you happy. Don't listen to others when it comes to negativity. Just remember that smile you had when that beast got to come home with you.
I have people telling me all the time that I should lock my car up when I hit 30K miles. Nope, I got this car to drive, and I'm gonna drive the heck out of it, lol.
I’m sorry this happened to your car, but the truth is is that you have such a voice out there and so many people watch you that in retrospect it was almost a good situation that this happened to you being one of the most watched CZcams channels of the brotherhood because now you can give us guidance you can talk about it What you’re doing to break in the car and it’s probably actually the best thing to happen for your CZcams channel because people are watching and pay attention. I myself am still in the break-in period for my demon 170 and yeah I’m watching your channel every time you put out a video and I’m doing researchmyself so I can do everything right with my car, but it was actually probably a blessing in disguise and I believe that that demon 170 will keep your channel very hot for many years to come so definitely do not sell it
The fact that it has had an issue has actually made the channel even more interesting to watch and has kept the audience engaged
The challenger is and will always look and be the best muscle car of our time total bad ass wheels ✊🔥
RacerX you need to listen to Deep Purple, Highway Star and take on the motto “Ain’t nobody gonna drive my car, gonna race it to the ground.” That’s my best advice.
These are hard to get , frustrating at first now you thought it over I’d say keep it man break it in a bit longer
It's all about having fun X! You got a warranty so RUN IT
I say an I quote (At the end of the day!) If it has left a bad taste in your mouth spit it out an sell it. But if it taste sweet eat it an keep it! No matter what you chose my friend we are gonna keep watching your awesome content. Good luck on another crazy journey in life🤪💯
Never sell it, man!!! This is the single most badass car on the planet!
It has been a great experience and you have learned and taught a lot with this car in a short period. What else could you possibly need or want from it at this point? I mean, you ordered it, had it delivered, raced it, and showed us what happens when they break and you got it fixed. You also showed us the process of the warranty and dealing with the dealership and Stellantis. That is the circle of life with a car, and you showed us the entire thing in a matter of a few months. Well done, Sir. I would sell it and move on. 💪🇺🇸
Thank God you'll never own a Demon.
@@Sub-Zero-392 Race X was asking for opinions, and I gave mine. So why are you triggered by my respectful and complimentary comment/suggestion? Seriously, what got you all upset?
🏆Racer X🏆very 🍀cool 👀✌️
RacerX, You should dyno it to compare. Also how much power does it make on 93?
Thanks for being real. And impartial
On break in I'd be avoiding high way miles and consistent RPM's, On my old professionally built 440 the builder told me that. Also to change the oil at 500 miles. Also warned me it would be hard to seat the moly rings. After the 500 miles I took a very serious and long desolate desert rump in the 3 digit speed range. That finally sealed the rings.
I ran that car as a daily driver and weekly drag racer for several years. Never hurt the engine till the end. Broke lots of 8 3/4 ring and pinions from the hard launches and shifts. When I did finally hurt the engine I didn't blow it. I seized the number two cylinder wrist pin. I'd ran it hard and didn't give it a long enough cool down run out.
I'd keep the Demon and keep on racing! Having the warranty is a great thing! Maybe trade it in down the road when the Charger Banshee shows up at the dealer lot! I am betting the Banshee will consistently out run the Demon 170 when it arrives! You know they are going to want the Banshee to grab some attention and to put those still crying about the death of the Hemi to eating some crow followed by a slice of humble pie!
I kinda wonder if the oil they call for from the factory isn't quite thick enough for actually racing these cars. I believe boosted Coyotes usually call for 5w 50 full synthetic. When oil gets hot, it thins out and lubricates less. Which leads to bearing damage.
RacerX seen on other channels where they do an oil analysis after the break in oil change. Have you considered it?
Race your car.
Sometimes new cars have a factory defect,
I bought a new 2001 2500 H.D and the Transmission went out at 1,800 miles,
Truck was perfect after that.
Hell no! Don't sell it! Take us on your journey to the 8s!!!
Rad brotha ... if it breaks this time , utalize the body and do a swap you have ran b4 and made reliable... or get u bread back , cuz lets face it .. they are not cheap by any means , and dealership markups 😢.. anyways peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z famz and i am curious to see it run on the new engine
Best video to date imo
Definitely still in the camp that you should split the difference between speed and who can work on it and go back to a Hellcat after Tim K left the picture, but best of luck for sure if you choose to keep it. I'll be watching either way.
Change the oil after you run E85 is what another CZcamsr said. After every event.
Milodon makes a front sump oil pan that is supposed to keep the oil at the pickup during hard takeoffs. Might want to inquire about it. I would see what I could do about the oiling problem before I raced it. Best of luck.
Your car sounds real strong even in the video. My opinion is you should keep it, even if you dont race. Its still a cool car.
That’s great. Everyone wants to know what happened to engine?
I wouldn't blame you if you never tracked it again. The days of these type of cars has come to an end...and you are in possession of arguably the most badass stock car ever built. Personally, I might do a few more passes but, that car is potentially a 7 digit car in the future. Just cruising it would be a hoot. Either way that is one sweet car.
It would be cool to do a road trip in that thing...a$$ kicking CAR...good to see ya get the car back. Enjoy that beast.
I would try a oil reserve tank. might fix the problem
