True but there's a wrinkle, and one I came across a lot after Go Man Go was stolen. A LOT of these cars are molested. I don't mind correctly done modifications, but cars I was seeing had stuff that just looked wrong had been through multiple owners and had less than 10K miles etc. Really eye opening.

Here's one example. See if you can tell me what's up: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/704884319?city=Murfreesboro&extColorSimple=ORANGE&listingType=NEW&listingType=USED&makeCode=DODGE&modelCode=CHALLENGER&newSearch=false&referrer=/cars-for-sale/orange/dodge/challenger/srt-hellcat-redeye/murfreesboro-tn?isNewSearch=false&listingTypes=NEW%2CUSED&searchRadius=0&zip=37127&searchRadius=0&state=TN&trimCode=CHALLENGER|SRT Hellcat Redeye&zip=37127&clickType=listing

This is one I looked at back in September....still on the market apparently.
It has the Demon switch panel.

But I thought Barth and HemiTuner offered a kit that they could duplicate the Demons 840 tune or custom tune with that switch panel.
But they had to do the install. I could be wrong.
Could only be done on 19s

It's at a Mitsubishi dealer. Enough said.

You are correct. I had my 19 charger almost there with the demon stack. Neither would help and the zauto guy Joe that did the body controller would not even talk to me. I couldnt get the center stack to talk over the communication can.

They gifted him a demon at msrp, surely they can honor his "warranty".

In all seriousness tho the whole racing voids warranty is dumb to me, many other manufacturers don't care if you race so long as it's not modified.

I don't believe racing voids the warranty on the Demon 170 similar to how the 2018 Demon was covered and the 1320 as well.

So from what I have seen there's three youtubers that basically "cried" their way into an allocation at msrp. (That was the joke here)

Ocmotivator (very annoying to watch)
Racerx ( don't know much about him)
Kevin van voris (indifferent to him)

There's a few others that got hooked up by Tim as well but it kinda just happened and they didn't really make any noise before or after.

Dodge loves it YT content.

Making sure these guys/gals get their cars is free advertising for them. Dodge would be stupid to not let these people get their cars for MSRP. Still selling the car and making money and then getting free advertising on top of it.

Chevy has done the same with the C8 and Z06.

Oh yeah, I 100% agree, it's smart on their part. No hate intended, I would do the same thing.

Only difference I saw was that who GM gave the cars to got some serious views, the dodge duds as I call em seem to not get so many views.

I think some of that is because Dodge. Age demographic is a thing when it comes to things like YT.
