The first gen Durango was great, but the second gen was a Daimler-led abomination. It looked like a sad hippopotamus. I actually like that the current gen takes cues from the original. Let's just forget about everything Daimler did. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

I'm waiting to be the 3rd owner of a Hellcat, but the 2nd owner of a Durango ain't bad either. Actually the Durangos sell pretty well, but are capacity constrained so you don't find as many on dealer lots. They're built in the same plant as the Grand Cherokee, and they build as many of those as possible. Not as many Durango’s come off the line. Which is too bad, because it's probably one of our best cars. It even won a Car and Driver SUV comparison last year, which is a big deal for our cars! Lol Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Our cars have standard cruise and ACC. You can use either one if your car has ACC. Not all companies do that. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It's optional. Press photos are usually fully optioned vehicles. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It's optional, for now. You can always turn it off, even if you do have it. In the near future AEB will be on most/all cars; it's essentially mandated at this point buy almost all OEM's announced fitment ahead of a mandate. A good ACC system is wonderful to drive with. A crappy one is annoying. Not all are tuned equally. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

That is probably the number 1 "complaint" with this (and our competitors) system. There is a lot of work to tune for this, but there if that car does come to a stop then it may be too late to brake. If you look at the data there is virtually no difference between a stopping and a vehicle slowing down for a turn, up until the time of the warning. I know that's not the best explanation, but we're working on it ~everyday. If you get them a lot and find them annoying you can adjust the sensitivity through the UConnect settings.

Yup, it's the radar sensor for Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation System, etc. It's a Bosch sensor that you'll also find on the front of Audi and Porsche. It does have a heated lens, so snow and ice should melt off but there are a lot of variables. The sensor can detect when it's blocked and shut the system down, so not sure what Toyota's issue was.

Grand Cherokee is 2 row, 5 pass...Durango is 3 row, 6 or 7 pass (middle row can be two captains chairs or bench) Hang in there. The Scat Packs are basically the old "SRT Core" model, they aren't base cars with a bigger engine. Not sure when they'll announce prices but a Citadel Anodized Platinum AWD starts at $47,700. You can load it up with another $10k in options, so I would think $55-60k is not out of the question. I was at a Buick/GMC dealer last night and a new Acadia SLT 1 with few options, FWD, V6 was $44k, so I don't think the Durango pricing is unreasonable. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

I don't think there is any Hell-rango in the cards, but they have said there will be a Jeep... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

And a claimed 0-60 of 4.4 sec Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

For when the Jeep SRT is just a bit too small... 476 HP 470 LB FT AWD Adaptive damping 6-piston, 15 Inch Brembo's on front 4-piston, 13.8 inch Brembo's on rear 12.90 in the 1/4 mile 8600 lb towing capacity Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Nice Jeep! Thanks so for supporting the team! Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Those were my words not Dodge's, and I said it like that because I don't know if it will be faster than the Drag Pak cars (including the COPO Camaro and Mustang.) But Drag Paks are not street legal, don't meet emissions, don't have airbags, windshield wipers, etc. The Demon is the only car to ever come from the factory with drag radials, with a special compound developed for the Demon. It meets emissions, safety, and noise regulations, comes with a warranty, etc. It will be the quickest 1/4 mile factory car, period. Some people think that means low 10's, other rumors put it solidly in the 9's. You won't have to create a special category to call it fast. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'm sure it will be up there, but not sure about starting price. Hellcat's start at $60k, so not sure if Demon alone will command a $30k price bump. According to the latest info on AllPar, the Demon can be ordered with or without a passenger seat or the crate of tools/skinnies, which will add to the price. There is a HP upgrade, gearing change, race gas (E85) tune, line lock, additional charge air cooling, special drag settings through the radio, revised launch control, shift lights in cluster, and supposedly an auto and a manual version. This will be the fastest factory built street legal drag car ever produced. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Everything I've heard is it will be very limited in numbers and higher in price. Not sure if it will command more than $90k, but I assume the $70-80k range is an easy assumption. I think there will be ones that see the track and others that only see Cars and Coffee parking lots. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Sounds like the one seat thing is somewhat optional, if you believe AllPar. Sounds like you'll be able to check a box for a passenger seat. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The next video came out today The car comes with a crate the has 18 components that maximize the Demon's flexibility, exclusivity, and collectability. This includes Demon Branded track tools, matching spare wheels (skinnies for the front), and Demon Track Pack System. Each crate has a personalized plate. Some are already claiming the numbers on the plate are a hint at 757 ft lbs and 1121 HP...but who knows. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Why does GM get special treatment? That's F'd up. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The car is ridiculously loud. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

One theory seen in the forums is that 35 in Hg = 17.2 psi, so they think it means a 2576 cc s/c @ 17.2 psi. Stock Hellcat is a 2380 cc s/c @ 11.6 psi. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It's a hint for something, but your guess is as good as mine. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

01.26.2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. Where there’s smoke, there’s tire. This fact will be confirmed when the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon roars into its New York City debut in April, ahead of the New York International Auto Show. The third teaser video, unlocked January 26, reveals that the Challenger SRT Demon rolls on upgraded lightweight 18 x 11-inch wheels and “Demon Branded” 315/40R18 Nitto NT05R tires front and rear, making Demon the first-ever factory production car built with drag radials. The new “Demon Branded” Nitto NT05R drag radial tires were specifically designed and developed exclusively for the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon using a new compound and specific tire construction. The new Challenger Demon wide-body is laser clearanced, and the entire chassis is e-coated for durability before final assembly. The combination of the 11-inch-wide wheels, high-profile drag radials and integrated fender flares adds 3.5 inches to the overall width of the Challenger SRT Demon for an intimidating, purposeful stance. Fans should visit http://www.ifyouknowyouknow.com to binge on the 27-second “Wide Body” video multiple times, along with other teaser videos, to learn about what’s next from Dodge and SRT.

Understood. The early Volts (beginning of the first model year) had some known issues with the chargers. I was told all 110V chargers were being replaced with a later hardware revision. Pretty much all the early ones would fry after a while. It was a supplier design issue that was changed (Lear). Take the charger issues away and I had a seat heater module go bad. Big deal. Covered under warranty. Nothing like the laundry list posted above.
