invested. This car features XV Motorsports Level II Suspension front and back, Level II brakes, a new Indy
Cylinder Heads all aluminum 528 cubic inch Street Legend Hemi, functional T/A hood with factory air cleaner and a
host of unique features. This was a ground up restoration with a real 1970 Challenger body disassembled and strip
at the start of the build. Paint and body work on this car are show quality. The vehicle took three years to
build and has 900 miles since the build. Never been shown or presented in magazines.
Make no mistake, this isn’t an amateur build with a few bolt-ons, this is a high end custom build with best of
the best components and unmatched engineering to deliver ride quality on par with modern performance vehicles.
Started with a rust free 1970 original Dodge Challenger, removed all the glass and completely disassembled the
complete car. All the undercoating was stripped from the undercarriage. Then all the paint was removed and soda
blasted the complete body. Cars by Haines painted the complete car and undercarriage Dodge Hemi Orange Pearl. The
bottom of the car looks and shines like the top.
The car is powered by a balanced and blueprinted Indy Cylinder Heads all aluminum 528 cubic inch Street Legend
Hemi. The engine is topped with a 850 Mighty Demon which puts out 730HP @ 6600 RPM with 660 Torque @ 4800 RPM on
92 octane pump gas.
The engine is mated to a hydraulically actuated Keisler TKO 5-Speed transmission which transfers power via an
aluminum driveshaft to a built 8-3/4 rear with a limited slip differential, alloy axles and 3.90:1 gear set.
Exhaust is handled by a set of, custom built by hand by James Vega, headers with 3” pipe out of stainless steel
with electric cutouts. The complete exhaust system, from the headers to the exhaust tips are stainless steel and
the cutouts allow you to adjust the exhaust to the sound you want.
The engine bay also features a Be Cool aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, March Serpentine system with all
billet components including the hood and trunk hinges.
Crockett’s Automotive provided the fuel system starting with a custom made stainless race baffled fuel tank by
Rick’s Tanks, El Paso, Texas. The tank has a 450 LPH fuel pump located inside the tank. While at Crockett’s
all new glass was installed with electric windows and door locks and the rest of the body parts were hung and
aligned.

K-Member, billet Aluminum CNC’d upper control arms, forged aluminum spindles and lower control arms, quick ratio
variable rate power steering with adjustable bump steer, NASCAR style adjustable splined tubular sway bar with

aluminum trailing arms, adjustable third link and an adjustable splined tubular sway bar with billet arms mounted
through the frame rails.
Both front and rear shock absorbers are custom calved, single adjustable nitrogen charged monotube coil-overs. The
coil-over feature allows for adjustable ride height. These shocks are road race quality, custom valved by
application, with matching spring rates that have been professionally tested on the track and street.
To allow the suspension to work its fullest, the car has a XV Motorsports Chassis stiffening system installed. The
system includes laser cut sub frame connectors contoured to the floor pan, inner fender braces.
Brakes are road race quality featuring 14” 6-piston in front and 13” 2-piston in the rear. Rotors are true two
piece design with billet hats and slotted discs. The pistons are sized to the application including the matched
master cylinder and use of hydro-boost. Since the brakes were professionally engineered for this car the result is
a vehicle that brakes hard and flat. System is plumbed with braided stainless hoses, stainless hard lines and high
temp fluid.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery
Fri, 20 Jun 2014The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.
Will Dodge limit 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat to 1,200 units?
Sun, 20 Jul 2014With over 700 horsepower on tap and a price tag barely over $60k, Dodge appears on paper to have a winner on its hands with the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. But if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act quicker than this most powerful of muscle cars covers the quarter-mile.
That's because, according to our compatriots over at Edmunds, Dodge may limit production - in the first year, at least - to just 1,200 units. That would amount to barely a quarter of the Challengers that Dodge moves each month, and would also mean only one Hellcat for every two Dodge dealers in the US - which could lead to some serious contention over which stores and which customers can get their hands on the ultimate Challenger.
Reached for comment, SRT spokesman Dan Reid told Autoblog that "there is no plan to limit production of the Challenger Hellcat," echoing the words of Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis who told Edmunds: "We don't know what the market demand is." Which doesn't mean that it won't restrict production, but doesn't mean that it will, either. It just hasn't decided yet - or announced any such decision, at any rate - over what will be the final allocation strategy for what could be a game-changing muscle car. That is, at least, until new versions of the Mustang and Camaro come along in pursuit of Dodge's bragging rights...
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
