INTRODUCTION: Scary fast & show quality! This SEMA car took 2,000 hours for professionals to build. At its heart is a supercharged Hemi Hellcat producing a bountiful 750 horsepower. Pushing the gas pedal feels like you are the projectile getting launched out of a blow gun at 400 feet per second flying past onlookers in a blur and not so silent whisper. This is a premium, this is uncompromised, and this is totally insane (but in a good way)!
EXTERIOR: Only 1,000 miles have been accumulated since completion so everything is super fresh and looking proper. I've never seen many of the finishes they chose for this build, but they all look amazing. Starting with the metal bumpers that were hydro dipped to look like carbon fiber. Additionally, all the brightwork was coated with a crinkle finish providing some unique texture and an unmistakably attractive look. The paint job itself looks like it costs more than a college education! It was applied with expert precision then polished to an extremely reflective finish you could read a diploma in. I really like the custom logos that were applied by airbrush and are seamless to the touch. All the panels are 100% laserbeam straight with smooth contours and sharp lines. They have been aligned by a master craftsman, square and flush, with gaps that are right on the money. All the glass is nice and clear with new rubber seals and fuzzy strips too. I thought it was really cool they used a GTS style hood with dual bulges and even retained the fender mounted turn signal indicators, which pay homage to a much more stock looking appearance. The custom made one-off wheels are equally impressive with their sleek mechanical aesthetic and staggered 18" front and 20" rear sizes. They are wrapped in a nice set of performance tires.
INTERIOR: This has been completely redone with some really nice finishing touches. My favorite part has to be the Kilduff Lightning Rod shifter. Even though it's just for decorative purposes I think it adds a really special visual that's extremely cool. The real shifter is to the far left and functions like any common automatic shifter. The gauge cluster has also been updated with a much more modern and practical unit that also lights up nicely. Another sweet upgrade is the modern stereo head unit which is both Bluetooth and Sirius XM capable. Additional speakers have been added to the kick panels and rear shelf. It has a full kit from Legendary Interior so everything has been replaced including the headliner, sun visors, seat upholstery, door panels, and carpeting. The Flaming River waterfall steering wheel was a very nice choice, and a modern electronic climate control was neatly mounted in the center console. Billet aluminum air vents were craftily incorporated into a custom wrapped dash and even the dome light is working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow, this 6.2 liter Hellcat Hemi with a polished Kenne Bell supercharger up top is nothing short of impressive. A custom fabricated cold air intake pumps the air in, and a nice set of TTI headers lets the exhaust flow out. Custom Kenny Bell fuel rails and a serpentine front runner system round off the nice clean look. A custom fabricated intercooler system keeps the supercharger nice and cool. It has a factory computer and wiring for practical reliability. The Wilwood dual reservoir master cylinder is a much appreciated upgrade and also has a proportioning valve. All the body panel hardware has been upgraded to stainless steel. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall have all been painted to the same quality as the impressive exterior. Mr Norms Resto Mod #002 fender tags are in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jambs, the paint is laid out real slick with a smooth glossy finish. The weatherstrip has been replaced as well. Inside, the compartment has been neatly boxed and carpeted for a clean custom appearance. The battery has also been relocated to the passenger side. Additionally an aluminum reservoir was added that pumps fluid to cool the supercharger and is cleverly hidden behind the drivers side panel.
UNDERSIDE: Up front is a Gerst/QA1 suspension system with a complete tubular engine cradle, tubular control arms, double adjustable coilover gas shocks, heavy duty sway bar, plus rack-and-pinion steering. Out back, it's upgraded with a four link system, adjustable tubular control arms, double adjustable coilovers, and another heavy duty sway bar. The fuel system has been completely updated for the fuel injected engine, and stopping power is handled by a Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted discs at all four wheels, along with a custom e-brake assembly. It has a great sounding dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and turned down tips at the rear. Looking up at the motor, you'll see an anodized extra capacity oil pan and high torque starter. The 4L80E overdrive automatic has been performance built to handle up to 1,000 horsepower, sending power through a custom aluminum driveshaft and a Strange Engineering 9-inch rear end that has 3.50 posi gears. The floors appear to be very solid originals, still wearing their factory undercoat.
