Pro-Built 600hp Pro Touring Challenger 6.1L HEMI V8 5-speed A/C

The vision was a car that looks fairly stock aside from the rolling stock, but moves like a modern supercar with all the creature comforts. In short, it's the pure essence of pro-touring, Mopar style.

Respecting the original design was paramount on this build, so inside you'll find a set of custom buckets reupholstered to look like stock Challenger seats, complete with horizontal pleats. The stock center console remains in place and the back seat was reupholstered with restoration-grade seat covers for a totally original look. New carpets, fresh door panels, and DynaMat underneath give it a factory-fresh look and a new car feel. There's a killer AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo system hidden out of sight, and the original A/C controls still manage the system, which blows ice cold today. Carbon-fiber accents on the dash, console, and pistol-grip shifter.

The engine is a Gen III HEMI stroked to a legit 426 cubic inches by Muscle Motors, noted Hemi builders with a serious reputation. With close to 600 horsepower on pump gas. There's sequential fuel injection living under a custom billet aluminum air cleaner that simulates the original dual-quad look but with modern day performance and reliability.

It's backed by a Keisler/Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission that's more than willing to handle the massive torque moving through it. A custom driveshaft was fabricated to withstand the force and feeds a built Dana 60 rear end filled with 3.73 gears on a Sure Grip limited slip. The original suspension is replaced with a tubular subframe and a full Reilly Motorsports Alter-K-Tion front suspension with tubular A-arms, coil-over shocks, and a fat sway bar. There's also power rack-and-pinion steering and giant Wilwood brakes with 6-piston calipers in front and 4-pistons in back, all supported by a Hydro-Boost power assist.Custom Boze 2-piece wheels measuring 19x8 up front and 19x10 in back were fitted with Mickey Thompson street performance tires that do their best to hook it up.
