Well, it seems he hasn't gotten his answer back from Dodge.

@DodgeCares what's taking so long for @RacerX to get an answer back from his Star report?

Curious why he doesn’t data log during his passes, can’t see what the car is doing under those conditions, and u fortunately a time slip and video doesn’t really help much for diagnoses. Neither do the codes unless they’re able to see a freeze frame of what other conditions were when the faults set. The dealer will take the micropod (which has built in data logging storage) and try to replicate the conditions, but I doubt they’re taking his car down the track lol

There is a video posted of what happened
I assume its in full detail Its 90 min long
I don t plan to watch it but I m sure it has some answers

These cars are heavy & violent off the line
I m sure there will be more getting damaged
Not to mention the technology is pretty wild leaving the door open for anything to happen

Maybe RacerX will get get fed up with Dodge and just buy a Honda. When he changes his name to RicerX we will all know the Demon is about to be sold.

Long story short he said the oil had metal shaving in it and he is around 2,000 miles on the car. Said Dodge is going to replace the engine and diagnose his. His new block will be fast tracked to get him up and running.

I know from behind the scenes the replacement blocks just became available a couple weeks ago as I've been working with someone that has been waiting since Jan. for a block

Needs oil change every half hour
Even if you don’t drive it.

So... $150k car, and won't spend $150 for an oil change. 0.1% is damn cheap insurance. $75 if DIY... even cheaper.
