I wonder how reliable this engine is now though....
It's also a $100k (after gas guzzler and transport fee) before you add options. Dodge is doing an interesting and great finally run for sure. But are taking everyone to the bank doing so.

The new Demon broke several engines in development, that's not a bad thing, that just means Dodge was testing its limits I'm sure to determine how strong certain parts needed to be. Some reports of the new Z06 destroying engines within the first 2k miles but do I believe that's a widespread problem that I should be worried about if I were to buy one? No, not at all. The media loves clickbait and headlines and spreads information quickly even if its a small percentage. The original Demon was near bulletproof, I have no reason to believe the new Demon 170 will not be also. The SRT team really knows how to overbuild a vehicle. Comparing a COPO Camaro to a Demon 170 is not the same, a COPO Camaro would be compared to a Dodge Challenger Drag Pack.
