On the flip side there will be plenty of coin to be made off the repairs for crashing the car. The other 95% of the drivers have probably never drove a car with drag radials, they will hook and hit a wall or drive it in the rain like a jackass. I'm curious as to how dodge was able to sell a car with DRs? I know they are DOT complaint but the amount of accidents this car will have due to the tires will probably be high. That tire, power and rain do not mix well.
Isn't there some issue with tires on a ZL1 related to winter/summer tires? What's the difference? Tires don't cause accidents, clueless wreckless drivers cause accidents. AND, you can legally run to 10 flat in the Demon. I'm in the middle of licensing in my Chevelle. Gotta jump through some hoops to make nhra happy. I'd rather be safe than not so I jump through the hoops. It's a pita but if ya wanna play ya gotta pay.
