Stage kits

For what it’s worth I just talked to our Power broker here and Dodge has not released the stage kits as of Friday. What a fn fiasco.

Kinda makes ya wonder ...just how disorganized is this whole SRT division...(or what's left of it...)

F’em, me and a few others have made our own “stage” kits. I am tired of their broken promises and previews of fake bullshit we can’t see, touch or even buy for at least a year.

Can’t believe they would wait on EPA for Commieforina! It sounds like a cop out to me.

The new guys @ the helm..learned how to talk...now if they could only learn how to walk...

Wondering how many of those "special" cars they just announced that you can actually order and get delivery?

None. They will be sent to dealers and you will be able to track who has what

I mean the carbon fiber charger, the drag pack roller and the body in white car.

Local Power Broker texted me to come in and peruse their allocations for the 2023s. No ordering. Here they are. Take what we got. Sheesh. What a way to go out. At least 1971demon and I were able to live through both muscle car eras. 1960s-1970s and 2005-2023. Pitiful.

I remember when direct connection was real! And you actually could get real parts! Not these make believe shit they talk of!!

Right on! LOL

Their focus is EV and nothing else. We are on our own. We have an answer don't we @DGatzby ?

I fully agree with you guys on the Stage Kits and of course the unicorn Hellephant crate being a big fiasco thus far, but in the interest of fair reporting, at least some or all the mechanical parts are available, as I ordered two things back in July and got them right away.

True. There are myriad parts that are available from the direct connection catalog. Which furthers the mystery surrounding the lack of prestage and stage kits. I have a suspicion that there is a problem with the federal emission/milage regulations. Hard to believe that not passing California emissions would hold up the rest of the country. Just my thoughts.

All things considered, for those of us with Hellcats (not RE), especially for those out of warranty I see little advantage to the Stage kits.

Looks to me like they do the PCM unlock, provide a rebranded 180 deg. t-stat, K&N filter, Litens pulley/belt & Diablo tuner with a canned tune.
Betting you can get all that + a custom tune from Jon for about the same $$ and likely get more HP out of the deal too boot !

IMO DC screwed the pooch on this one, the window of interest has come & gone and there are better options out there for those of us no longer covered by the factory warranty (a group that gets larger by the day !).

I just asked about a shit Hornet. First lots of conversations to indicate I should be prepared to bend over, then the story to forget about seeing one for ONE YEAR TO EIGHTEEN MONTHS FROM NOW. And those seemed the most simple to get while we attempt to allow the electric grid and technology to catch up with the desires of our new Socialist Government. This other EV shit is not even made and is half conceivable at best.

Now concerning these Stage Kits. So WTF all kinds of people can modify the shit out of these tomorrow, no problem. Just why can’t Dodge do it? Was first promised a year ago. Then will be released this last spring. Then sometime in June. Now it is nearly fall in most parts of the country and we will put our toys to rest while the snow flies. Most of us are not interested. Hell Dodge, again Chevrolet has an exciting vehicle that is not only real, we can see them, touch them, hear them and get reviews from people who are actually driving them. I’ll save my big cash for one of those items. I got my Dodge done and it only will have maintenance dollars and dollars to the people who also race and have good ideas to share.

Oh, David you do know some of our buttons! Rant over for now.

Absolutely!

See above; @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC has the solution TODAY!

It's simple. Everything woke turns to shit. This is all fake.
I'm not sure about Dodge even being around in 24 months. They're killing the brand.

Go with @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC . He did my dog of a 2019 Redeye and my previously HHP tuned 2015 Hellcat and turned them both in the animals they should be. You will be very pleased.
