    Challenger SRT Demon To Come With Acknowledgement Agreement

      If you're ordering a Demon, you'll be signing one of these

    The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is one of the wildest vehicles ever to go on sale. Because of this, Dodge is having all of the buyers sign an acknowledgment form to know what they are getting themselves into. 

    Allpar obtained a copy of the form which requires a buyer to initial 15 lines and provide a signature. A dealership employee must witness the signing and provide their own signature. The form then has to be notarized before being sent off to FCA.

    The document has some items that are straightforward such as the buyer assuming all risks in driving a drag vehicle, not letting passengers ride in the vehicle without having the seats installed, and reading the owners manual. There are some other parts of the document that gives some idea of the restrictions being put on by Dodge.

    • Lines 6 through 8 deal with the Demon's tires - a set of Nitto NT05R drag radials. You are asked to avoid driving on the highway as the tires will wear quickly. You are also asked to not drive it in the rain due to hydroplaning. Line 8 is the most explicit, saying you should not move the Demon in temperatures below 15 degrees Fahrenheit, as the tires may crack from lack of flexibility.
    • Line 5 asks the customer to promise not to use any track-specific features, like launch control, on public roads.
    • Line 15 has the customer acknowledge that they either paid MSRP or higher. As we reported this week, dealers that price the Demon above MSRP will see their orders pushed to the back.

    Interesting Reading, so to pick up your demon, they will have to schedule to have a notary on site. Pretty much what I would expect for this type of auto with all the restrictions. I am surprised they do not state what type of street tires must be used.

    Overall very COOL! :metal: 

    Love that nothing says you cannot drag race the auto.

    Cool...but honestly I have more respect for people like Subaru who build mass market performance cars aimed at something other than drag racing.

    If you want to go drag racing, eighty five grand will buy you something faster than the Demon, a tow vehicle, an enclosed trailer, extra parts, and a year of fuel and entry fees.

    Lawyer mandated - absolutely.

    This is also general fare for risk and reputational management these days.

    Let's face it.  This car is NOT a daily driver at all.  It is a toy.

    The form is what the adults must sign to show that they will still be adults with their expensive toy.

    More troublesome is FCA mentally reverting to 1970 when it is 2017

    It is almost like watching a dying man have one last good Memory before he passes.

    FWIW back in the sixties people signed waiver also for car like this.

    • At the 2024 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, the Kia Design center of America brought to life two concept vehicles that provide the ultimate in capabilities, adaptability, utility and organization. These two lifestyle vehicles blend form and function into the machines designed for responsible engagement with nature. EV9 ADVNTR CONCEPT EV SUV – this truly unique all-electric 3-row SUV is designed to take life well beyond the beaten path.  And conquer it. Built for serious fun, this 2025 EV9 EV SUV has been refined into the most adventurous SUV Kia has ever imagined. With custom front and rear facias for a unique and rugged look – and a reinforced rocker panels for increased capability and character – the EV9 ADVNTR EV SUV also features a 3” lift compared to the standard EV9 and a rugged tire and wheel combination to maximize the vehicle’s off-road capability. A custom roof rack can handle everything from standard luggage containers to bespoke roof-mounted tents that transform the EV9 ADVNTR into a machine perfect for getaways in the great outdoors. Rough and ready, the EV9 ADVNTR EV SUV is Kia’s latest expression of a lifestyle utility vehicle ready for tomorrow’s adventures. PV5 WKNDR CONCEPT EV VAN – is based on Kia’s recently debuted line of EV PBVs, or Purpose Beyond Vehicles, designed for small business and delivery functionality. It is a highly capable van allowing expression of your lifestyle wherever it may take you. Lifted and equipped with off road tires, it is an ideal escape pod for extended weekends in nature. The PV5 WKNDR EV VAN features a highly flexible and adaptable modular interior that can be easily and efficiently customized to maximize space and function – akin to a Swiss Army Knife on wheels. The van’s “Gear Head” feature is the first-of-its-kind storage solution that provides an off-board, sheltered storage space for gear when the vehicle is stationary, allowing for maximum utilization of interior space while still offering easy access to gear outside. The PV5 WKNDR EV VAN’s “Gear Head” can also be transformed into a mobile pantry for cooking afficionados that want to “Cook with a View”. Truly self-sufficient, the PV5 WKNDR EV VAN features solar panels and unique hydro turbine wheels that can recharge the batteries for many uses.  As an example, Kia installed an onboard compressor to handle needs for inflation, from adjusting tire pressure when out on the trail to inflating space efficient mattresses when setting up camp for the night.  Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America had this to say at the reveal: “Kia’s rugged and capable utility vehicles have long been known for being versatile, adaptable and comfortable to suit the needs of a wide range of consumers. We wanted to ‘level up’ the functionality and capability by developing these concepts that take those legendary attributes to the next level. Our vehicles already help people live their active and adventurous lifestyles and it was fun to see just how far we could go with these latest concepts. The SEMA Show acts as a blank canvas for creativity and offers a glimpse into what Kia’s automotive future may hold.” Work or play these two EVs are ready to handle whatever you throw at them. Kia, get out and play!!! View full article
    • The redundancy isn't there yet. I have a bunch of other websites to restore. But it will be the first thing done when I'm done with those.
    • We'll this sucks, C&G went down causing headaches for Drew and we now have a Fascist in power. How folks can vote for a convicted rapist, convicted business fraud and not once but 6-time bankrupt businessperson all for his own personal gain is beyond me. I did read an interesting AP story that said in 2016 the bulk of Latino voted for Trump, then 2020 for Biden and now back to Trump. College education is low among Latino's and the bulk of these conservative folks have stated that they do not believe woman belong in politics or business and as such went with the guy to vote. Seeing so many immigrants supporting Corrupt 47 blows my mind. A coworker said a number of folks from Africa that he knows where he came from all voted for Trump as Economy was their number 1 concern. Yet we have a strong economy and low unemployment. He said they all were frustrated with how expensive things had become to buy and they said Trump will lower costs. I pointed out that Inflation is always here, and the first two years of a new president is dealing with what was left to them from the outgoing president. As such, the first two years of high inflation under Biden was due to the poor policies that Trump did while in office. Unfortunately, It is what it is and truly mind boggling that so many bought into the Trump Lie Machine. Hopefully the House will go Democrat to balance out a republican senate so crazy cannot go too crazy with stuff. Here is an interesting video to watch.

    • I agree, can imagine, and sympathize. The Dow may be up, but I wonder if that's because it foretells that the rich may get richer and the poor may get poorer.  I may benefit some when the market is up, but it's not all about me. At any rate, I'm glad we're back up and trust that some redundancy is there or will be bolstered to shore things up.
    • effing hell......   and nearly completely losing the C&G database wasn't even the worst thing to happen this week.
