we are not on dodgetalk, but we are on srtconnection.com, challengertalk.com and a few others. that daytona platform can be pretty fun, ive seen a few with blowers on them that kicked some ass.

anyways, right now we're probably looking at doing either a '68 charger, or road runner. once we get a car and get crackin ill be sure to start a build thread.


edit: just saw i have a whole 3 posts since i joined the site in 07....thats just sad....
Very cool!! I have to check out srtconnection.com
I wouldn't mind owning a SRT 8 Jeep!! AWD and some balls to back it up. I saw some on your website that absolutely KILLED!! Like the murdered out one. VERY NICE!
Please post pics of the build when you guys start. :lateral: :cheers:

a Viper motor in a late model would get a little attention, say at like SEMA- BUT if you put a that around classic sheet metal- it would have way more impact

If you're going with a new Challenger why not try to get a body in white ? Then you can go full custom in & out without tossing a lot of stuff....

These cars are not street legal and do not come with VIN's just an FYI:thumbsup:

i'm not too sure any '09 challenger with a viper motor is going to be street legal here in southern cali. thats one of the pluses to an old car, smog isnt as much of an issue.

I thought that you would only haveto pass the emmissions for the car not the motor in it. I could be wrong

i'll have to look into it a bit, but here in california, they dont really like you doing anything to your car that make it more fun. i think the only way to really do a legal engine swap it to replace it with a newer engine that was available in the car its going in. but i could be wrong.

anyways, if we go old school, it wont be as much of a problem.

we should have an idea next week what kind of car were gonna use, then its just a matter of finding one....

Neither of those are a real problem. Kit car type VIN and in Florida we can pretty much drive what we want ie: race cars with plates posing as "pro streeters" :unibrow: :D
