Hopefully, he sees this post. Would be a big loss to the hobby imo.

Unfortunately Ron is just 1 on the long list of people selling Demons.
The working assumption right now is that Dodge isn't standing behind "a lot" of warranty claims and it is scaring people away from their cars.
I hope Ron moves on to the next best thing and keeps doing his best to make the platform a success.

That's not encouraging. Can you provide any specifics, examples? I'd like to know, esp since I have an extended 8 yr b2b MaxCare warrantee.

Never thought "warranty" was that big of a deal. I didn't buy my first new car until I was 42. Before that if I broke something racing I just fixed it. Most Demon owners will not push their cars to break them anyway

My '13 Mustang {which was my first new car} bought in August of 2012, had a supercharger on it in March of '13. Still can't understand why people say "I'll modify it when the warranty is up" I'm sure glad I didn't. With my mods it was making 200hp more which was way more fun!

I am selling my Demon for various reasons. But I have absolutely NO rumors or inclinations that something better is coming out. I wish there were but that is not it.

The #1 event that I loved and waited all year to go to was the Legion of Demons. But they have no rules or standards, and so 2 people that severly lightened their cars took the top supposed stock times. That can never be reversed. I will never gut my interior. I just do not roll that way. So, I will forever be #3. Oh shucks. Here is the 71 Demon I built and the 67 Valiant that I built. Both amazing cars. Notice anything?

I have the hookup for warranty claims. So that is not it. Besides , NOT even one demon Diff broke this year at ROTD (that I know of). So that is not even on my radar any more.

He bought a car, enjoyed the shit out of it for nearly 2 years and is probably going to sell it for close to what he paid.


Why are we asking why he is selling? That’s the perfect scenario anyone could ask for.

Someone has to show those guys how to drive!

FWIW @DRAGRCR , I noticed you liked “green” interiors. ;)
I completely understand where you’re coming from. You were at the top for a while and everyone was chasing you.
The rumor stemmed from the broken diffs at the one event. Weird thing is that a couple of the other Demons that have been in the market lately were owned by guys that would also have no problem getting warranty work done, lol.

That is the Demon Dodge advertised, the one we all desired - and only 16 (ish) people got right. When history looks back at these cars - the single seater no option cars are going to be the coveted ones.
