    Got a call from a good friend that works there... the bottom of the car is covered in rust, the hood has an 18” long scratch in the satin finish, the driver door has half dozen deep scratches in it, and the rear bumper looks to be cracked where it attaches to the body.

    She would not do that.... They already started the transport claim for warranty repairs. The body shop at this dealership sucks, so not interested if in needs to go there for rework.

    That said, she told me that it is by far the best looking Demon they have seen come off the truck.

    These cars were SPECIAL and SPECIAL ORDERED.

    I agree the cars should've been handled with kid gloves too!

    RUST on any part of that car is unbelieveably mind-blowing. :s

    Have one on the way.... Inside the driver's door opening, you can tell where someone at the factory went nuts with a buffer because the entire inside of the jamb is caked with compound residue. The scratches on the hood are very subtle, and the scratches on the door are just deep enough to need a respray. The underbody shows no rust, at least as I would describe it, but there is the type of oxidation you expect to see when aluminum is exposed to the elements. This can even be found on some components under the hood, such as the intake.

    Perhaps I am expecting far too much from the car, but I did drive it around the block, and all I can say is HOLY F...................................................................

    This thing is FAST, and DANGEROUS if you do not respect what this wild animal can do, and will do if you don't know what you are doing. You can have a grin like the Joker, or a couple shillings placed on your eyelids to give St. Peter when you meet him.

    How much do those tires run? I'd be scared to find out. I just took off my snow tires and put summer tires on, my set of summer tires were done. $58 a tire brand new, most expensive ones they had. :D

    That car is sex on wheels.

    Does it still have the helper springs installed for shipping or something? What's up with that ridiculous rear wheel gap?

    Extra room for when you stomp on it and the rear end squats down?

    Good theory, Google up classic Gasser Dragsters, they sit rather high on the axles. I'd surmise this to gain the most weight shift to the rear axle to provide as much traction as possible at launch.

    That is exactly right. This car transfers weight to the rear like no other factory car ever has. The car seems very compliant and easy to drive if you use featherweight pedal application, but if you think you can just drive it like a regular car and push the gas pedal like you would in a regular car, it will get away from you faster than you can blink.

    The car is fully optioned, including the sunroof. The only item I did not check off was the blackout on the roof and trunk.

    Not sure yet what direction it will take. The wife and I are going tommorow to see it in direct sunlight. The hood cannot be corrected without being painted. I also learned my car was one of the units that had rear main seal issues, which explains the nearly three month delay from build date to ship date.

    Very nice John. They should bend over backwards to make you 1000% satisfied. Can't blame you one bit for being upset.
