Here is a link to the website of XV Motorsports, the company that was featured briefly on Dream Car Garage last night.

Looks interesting and I would like to see / test drive one of their finished products.

On second thought, maybe I better focus on finishing mine so I can drive it first!

Certainly a nice shape Challenger shell they are starting with.

The website looks awesome if nothing else. So how are they getting the 6.1 Hemis? I thought they were unavailable in crate form?

That's what I was thinking too! The floorpans on that seem to be the ones it was born with.

Can't wait to see some progress pics on that baby. :boogie:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

There will be a segment on the engineering of our cars on each episode of Dream Car Garage this year.
We are completely re-engineering Mopar B and E body cars and all is being done using state of the art technology and engineering.

We are doing two levels of suspensions that will really make these cars into corner carvers.  Level II is basically a full on road race suspension. 
Check out the engineering section of our website, under suspension development and click on the descriptions. You can see we are using some really cutting edge technology to develop our stuff.

Dream Car Garage filmed the entire development process - engines, suspension, brakes, efi fuel system, driveline, track testing and more.
Should make for some interesting TV if you like to see how it gets done. 
Much of what we are using, especially on the suspensions,  is typically only available at the OE manufacturer level and professional race teams.

We also have a full engine development program for the 5.7 and 6.1 HEMI - many parts coming for these.

Let me know if you'd like me to keep you updated.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Hi John,

Good to see you stop by.  I know you spend some time over at the '70 site, when you are posting updates, please post them here also.  I for one think this project is very cool.

dqhemi

Thaks for the warm welcome! 

I'll definitely keep you posted as things happen.

The third or fourth car we are building is a 68 Charger (I also have a 69 for a later build).

It will be the first one we do with a supercharged 6.1 Hemi. 
We're doing a twin screw supercharger kit for the 6.1 Hemi. 
It will sit on an intake with integrated air to water intercooler - to make packaging in any car easy.
