DC member's car? Arizona '68 Charger (500ci hemi on juice)

[bee_fishy_6869]

I  stop by casually at a mercedes benz forum (don't own one just read around) and would see this guy regularily. He owns a boatload of exotics. Porsche Carrera GT, Bentley Continental, Mercedes SL600 Renntech V12 (675hp, 910 ft lbs tq), porsche gt2 (778hp),  but his best car is his '68 Charger (hemi 500ci). Some serious play toys. I believe he runs the Scottsdale Exotic Car Club SECC...

Video @ the bottom of the linked page ; Ran a 9.62 @ 139mph.

if i ever am able to save the money for one his sounds like the best gine for the money as far as hemi builders go anyway!

This dude has some serious coin. A few million in exotic cars not to mention most of them have aftermarket engine upgrades added on. Charger has the best components money can buy, FHO motor, Strange rear end setup,etc...  Must be nice!

That's my baby! Thanks for all of the kind words! I just got her back from having the rings re-gapped to be able to accomodate a 300 shot of nitrous, the 9.62 pass was made on a 275 shot. It's got a hood now and is going to the interior shop on Monday to get the treatment I'm going with a full leather(black) interior, suede headliner and carbon fiber dash (to replace all of the black ribbed plastic). I'm also doing black Mercedes carpet throughout including the trunk. I have also recently replaced all of the glass, which made a huge difference. Here are some new shots:

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Here's another video of the me driving the car at Speedworld (pre-hood). This is when we jetted the car up to 275 from 230. When I hit the gas, it scared me so bad that I lifted, then got back in it again

   Damn dude, where's the parachute?    When do you hit the laughing gas?

Tim @ FHO took good care of you by the looks of it.  If I open mine back up, he'll be the one doing it.   

[Mefirst]

Its gonna be interesting to see if I can pull the same kind of times with my "Junk" without breaking anything in the process...

The engine setup is similar to yours (engine is a old Pro Stock Hemi) HP should be around 700, only difference is that I'm gonna run it with a Fogger system.

Hey NOS (renntechv12). I figured the pic links from your site would lead you here. I remember seeing pics of your charger a few years ago before I got huge into muscle cars and it always blew my mind. Good to see she still has a spot in the stable with the modern exotics. Keep the pics coming! Cheers. Bee
