[QUOTE="fumanchu182 Z bought car, Z fixes car, other guy buys car back. done... guy has no obligation to pump Z's work at all.
. True, but….. this guy is promoting his shop as who is responsible for the performance of that car. Watching it live… he says that he had sold the car after the event last year and then bought it back needing work to make it what they had now. It sounded to me like he was saying it needed to be fixed. Now I don’t know all the inside info on this but when he said that live on the interview I just went wtf did he just say! Dodge presents that grudge thing by choosing certain social media influencers to build a car with a Redeye engine and $15k in build money to put it together ($35k total). That way they can promote the build on their U-tube channel or whatever and then compete against the others at the event. That’s what Herman and Bailey’s did. This guy didn’t do shit. Same car as last year with a trans change that Z did (I saw a video on suspension setup using that car with Z doing the work). There are so many shops that take credit for other peoples work and sometimes one just can’t help call BS when they see it. That’s all[/QUOTE]
The quote was corrupted so I never got a notification. I get what your saying but he paid him, that's it, end of transaction.
@zhc does excellent work no doubt and he is a great person to work on the forums. Even more fun when you push his Charger for him at MIR
In regards to these D170 cars. I had money ready to go. Was even going to use my own car as a trade. I called three dealerships in MD, 50k sticker easily. When I was in NJ during thanksgiving. Went to look at one and it just sold before I got there in Brick, NJ for 180k. It is complete "bullshit" that Dodge claims price gouging isn't happening and the little guys will get a chance to buy them. It's all shit. Although he doesn't post here SRT Mush got his for MSRP, RacerX MSRP... all these youtube guys. But yet me, who gets little views on Youtube, can't do internet marketing for Dodge but will be foaming at the mouth to do hotlaps at the track in any car gets told to he's not cool enough to play.
That's why Stellantis has the highest # of inventory of cars left on the lots. They turned their back on their loyal customers and now they are giving them the middle finger.
If you don't believe me, Stellantis record profits don't turn to employee buyouts at all. They lied to someone, most likely share holders and will probably reap what they sow.
