Some guy did beat Dodge's record with a (claimed) stock 170 running an 8.8. What's even crazier is that this car goes this fast....pulling the front end off ground. Truly an all-American car.
Way to go!! Under these conditions, you would smoke a Plaid and give a Lucid Air Sapphire a run for its money. The noise during those runs was awesome.
@@Timothy-f6c The D170 would win fairly easily vs. both of those cars if he could get it to hook. That's going to be the only issue, both of those cars can lay down super reliable times due to their incredibly sophisticated traction control systems. Unless your talking about completely and totally gutted MSPs, then yea, they are in the middle 8s. That being said, both of those cars are full on four door family sedans.
@@hdelano11 in a good DA with a good driver, or even with these numbers he got in the video, he would absolutly beat the plaid, the Lucid is a tie if we look at numbers.
Congrats! It's always great to break your own record, and be better (60 ft) or equal to the benchmark (so close to the Dodge time). You've got skills! Those wheelies would scare the poop out of most of us (my mind would say - lift lift lift!).
You should definitely be happy with the results! A 9.04 @150.45 in the quarter in the muggy Florida air is spectacular. Also, great job on sticking with things while the first engine was getting replaced under warranty. As you mentioned before, that was a tough time, but you stuck it out and now the car is running as close to perfect as possible!
It's not muggy in FL these days, we are getting hit by a cold front as well like 30 to 40 pct humidity, plus we have much lower elevation than Michigan, so this is about as good of a da you can get, maybe a little colder but not much
The track times Mopar claims their cars will run can easily be duplicated or even beat with ideal track conditions and good driving. RacerX just proved that. Many Challenger 1320 owners have as well. They were advertised to be 11.7 second cars. My bone stock '22 1320's best ET is 11.81 with a track DA of 2,000 on a hot summer day. That calculates to 11.5 at sea level, a full 2/10's faster than advertised. Way to go Dodge!
So glad you kept the 170! I do think you'd run even faster with Hoosier DBR's though, they are much lighter than the MT's (approx. 15 lbs. per tire lighter) and hook up way better as well. Great job driving RacerX, and thank you for the excellent video!
That's a fantastic video, seventeen and a half minutes of engineering insanity. Your enthusiasm is so infectious, and to see the speed the start line disappears behind you through the rear window is astonishing to say nothing of the wheelie...better then Dodge themselves were able to achieve, what an amazing still image that makes, mind blowing. I've followed your journey with this car, keep up the great content...
Props for not doing what tons of other people do...putting Cleetus in your title or thumbnail for clicks. Or posting his times. I respect that. Sweet car though. Something tells me that Dodge may have had some trans tuning to run that time. They were a 10th faster than you to the 1/8th with a slower 60ft.
Wow , I bet that made you happy after everything you’ve been through. Amazing runs, the wheelie was outstanding, I even showed my wife lol, I’m sure she didn’t care, lol
That was an amazing day, I shouted when you did your first wheelie! I'm impressed with your 9.04 time, much better than I expected, given you haven't tuned it yet. Florida Winter is here and hopefully you can easily get into the 8's!
Nice job Racer-x... you really yanked the front end on those last two passes... so close to the 8's... as you said some really good DA and you're there!
That is so BADASS!!!!!! Putting Micky Thomson radial front runners and demon air grabber hood on my RT. Looking forward to seeing if it makes a difference at the track.
Hey Congrats Paul that is awesome, very respectful pass i would be super proud of that . I am 1000 percent sure you will get an 8.90 pass in the near future . Can't wait to see you do it . Happy New Year Buddy !!
Thanks Racerx for this! Your 170 is a monster! I'd be very happy with those times! Especially bloody stock!😮 this engine likes the track! Hahaha 😆 lauches insane..
Man that looks like fun car sounds great pulling big wheelies that's got to put a massive smile on your face. Beating Dodge's 60 foot time step one for sure. You need to take it to Texas and race Herman. I would love to see that X. GO BUCKS!!
I’m happy for you that you got a “stock” untuned 170 to run that quick and consistent with your last 2 runs. I had stopped following everyone who was trying to get their 170’s within a half second of the 170 that Dodge used in their advertisement. It seems as all the cars launched the same, a initial hit with the wheels up and as soon as they landed it instant wheel spin. You looked like you’ve got the tune that the new motor likes. Maybe 8’s next time, keep at it.
I would say great run. I have a couple of friends with Demon 170's. The fastest times so far have been in the 9.14 and 9.19. Good job on the 9.04 @150. I run at Bradenton and the DA being good is only a few days in the winter.
Great job Racer X. I can't wait to test out my Demon 170 up here in Canada at either Cayuga or Mosport speedway to see if I can get in the low 9's as well. Keep up the good work!
@@RacerX9 Can't wait. Just need to get my hands on E85 gas to get max horsepower without having to cross the border. E85 is no longer available in Canada and right now I'm only getting 670hp on 94 Octane up here. The boys over at Radford Racing (was there in Dec for the 2 day Demon course) said that I need to get it checked out since they think it's too low for 94 Octane (shows E9% on the dash). Perhaps due to a cross border adjustment to make it street legal up here? Not sure but I'll have to investigate further. Curious - have you heard about this from other Canadian 170 owners?
Your final pass was great. I feel like you'd be all over 8.90's if the transmission would hold 4th gear another hundred feet or so as long as you get the 60' goals. Adjustable shocks and a transmission tune would be next before a pulley swap. Enjoy the car.
Amazing!!! I use to live at the drag strip in the late 80's early 90's (and drink beer with the late Bullet Bob Reed). And back then to hit the 5 sec. in an 8th was sweet back then. If someone had told me a Stock OEM car would run 5 sec. I would have laughed in their face.
Congrats, I'd be very pleased with those runs. The car is picking up a solid 30 mph in the back half, and the 60' is there, the 330' in better DA is where you are going to drop your et to the 1/8 mile. Would you mind sharing what your IC cluster showed for the ethanol content on these passes, and what was the injector duty cycle, and did it go into cat over temp. Maybe try a second gear launch next time, that will slow down the 60' a little, however it may tame the wheel stand and net a faster et. Thanks
Agreed the car was almost doing too big of a wheelie, which might be hurting my time to the 330.. just trying to gather up momentum after the rebound. Unfortunately I can do a second gear launch without tuning it.. the 170 kicks you out of 2nd in track mode. Ethanol was reading 78% but I didn’t check the log for injector duty cycle .. I am fairly certain based on how it was running that it did not go into cat over temp
@@RacerX9 As I understand it, just before you pre stage activate the line lock while in track mode, paddle shift into second gear, then release the OK button, creep forward and stage the car. It should then think it's doing a burnout and will stay in second gear. I haven't tried it yet in mine as it's in storage, however I'm sure it will work, you can try it on the street to test the theory.
Racer X ! looked at my prior comment , had so many errors , I’m keying it again ! L Time was 3xcellent , difference 8n weight from you to didgevdriver had to make a little difference , you made I think. 9.04 screaming ! Great driving as well ! Very impressive !
Congratulations!! That’s a fantastic PB… if possible I think getting your hands on the carbon fiber rims would be worth it just to get rid of any asterisks people will want to put on your times.

Correct .. not stock though 😉
So happy for you. That 60’ is great! Finally your car is ready to put the Plaid away. I definitely want to see a rematch with Brooks.

got Damn that launch is brutal!🔥🔥
Did you notice with the Demon 170 advertisement. It says "with roll out" that Demon was rolling in that quarter mile run💯💯
Meaning it wasn't a dead stop take off!!!
The track uses rollout also
@jeffstephenson4156 then to me that's not a actual quarter mile time..... That rolling start gives you at least a 10th on your time.
@ that’s why car magazines use the roll out to match track times
Rollout was only subtracted for the 0-60 time of 1.66 seconds. Quarter mile run was from a dead stop
Outstanding brother!
