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

go figure. Everyone paying more then msrp were suppose to be last to get theirs and the guy that did pay msrp actually was last

Same exact thing with my 18...early order..@ MSRP...was expecting a low (below 400 ser. #).. got #1444..and those with ADM orders..and ser. #'s in the 2000's got theirs before me...go figure..

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

@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?

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
