Going by the drivers head, it looks like a scaled down charger, perhaps 7/10's normal size so maybe those tires aren't as big as they seem  :Twocents:

Yeah, I don't think this one is fake... I've seen YouTube videos of it backing out of parking spaces and other spots.

I'm going to try to find them.

Absolutely ridiculous.  :eek2:

Okay now I'm confused. Fake or not fake :shruggy:

With the new added pictures it seems real :shruggy:

I guess I will look for the YouTube videos as MxRacer855 mentioned.

Wow, what a badass with good taste that owns that car.
I could do without the hood emblem though.

But the dog's head (in the passenger seat) looks normal.  :shruggy:

Wheels/tires like that belong on a street rod, not a muscle car.

Contrary to reports, the car is not fake or the photo modified. There was a similar built Charger at the MATS last year (not quite as radical) and there are a couple of cars in my area with the same style of crazy-overtired-jacked-to-moon build. It reminds me of the 70's monster car t-shirts. They just need a 6-71 blower and shift handle sticking out through the roof.

It might be a new trend..... we better put in our orders for MT Sportmans and 12" shackles  :lol:

Thanks for posting this link!

I think I came across it when I was researching 572 Hemi's at one point.

Car is begging for side pipes and a paint job with those large metal flakes.
If your wheels ain't spinn'n you ain't got no traction.

Wheels are most likely 15x15 or so. Definetely 15" diameter.

Tires look like Hoosier Pro Streets, 31x16.50R-15LT or 31x18.50R-15LT is my guess.

Your car looks good. You tubbed your car and gave it a proper stance. If going with fat rears and skinny fronts then it should be done like yours.  :Twocents:   It should never be lifted completely over the tires for clearance the way I do on a mud truck.   :brickwall:    That thing couldn't drive and handle good.  :shruggy:
