Back in october, my friend and myself went with my uncle to Maxton NC for a standing mile land speed event to run his 2009 challenger srt8 6 speed (full exhuast,intake,tune,6 pt cage) and saw this creation. from a distance, i saw the one long valve cover and thought "oh he put an old Z motor in it" then i got closer and shat myself.

Pics are courtesy of my friend.---thing sounded awesome. fully built and dry sumped. ran a best of 167mph but has having trouble that day.

This car was covered in Speedhunters. It was built with that motor to run in a specific class at the Salt Flats.
