XV Challenger on Cover of Popular Hot Rodding!

I just got my hands on a copy of the latest issue of Popular Hot Rodding and the XV Motorsports 70 Challenger made the cover with a seven page feature article on the car and what we are doing. 

I'm really psyched how the article turned out and especially how impressed PHR was with what we've done. 

Best part to me is the quote they highlighted from Johnny Hunkins, the editor of the magazine:

"When Chrysler builds the new Challenger in 2008, they'd be well-served to look this car over carefully.  The ride and handling on this is better than anything Chrysler's doing now."

I was pretty blown away when I first read that. 
Well we really tried to take it to a different level. 
I'm really happy people are recognizing just how far we've pushed the envelope.

Hope you all get to check out the article!

Here's a link to the cover:

I just got my copy yesterday in the mail & skimmed it a bit last night.
That's about 10 huge leaps forward for the Mopar hobbyists! :2thumbs:


Now if I could only afford to play too. ;D

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. :)

I subscribe to PHR as I think it has the best tech articles and is not just Mopar related. Don't get me wrong I love Mopars but I am not into the numbers matching concourse trailer queen cars. Great magazine, great article. Good job on the suspension parts. Would definitly be something I would buy if I had the $$$.

Keep up the good work.
