After years of speculation today I finally received word from a unnamed but reliable source of mine that we will see a all new vehicle only available to SRT. The vehicle as you probably guessed it is the 2016 Cuda, the image above is the closest rendering to the actual production car. The Cuda will be roughly the same size as the 2015 Ford Mustang and will come in two engine choices. The first will be the standard choice, the 470-hp 392 6.4 L SRT8 Hemi V8, the second and more exciting engine choice will be the Supercharged Hellcat engine with a amazing 670-hp. As you may have noticed from the rendering above the Cuda has a more modern design, this is so the Challenger can keep the retro theme and we get a new vehicle that wont directly compete against it. Expect to see some spy shots of this beauty popping up in the next few months.
April Fools.
My name is John Hochenedel. I dragged this 74 Gold Duster out of a field in 1999, where the original owner had parked it in 1990. It was EW-1 in color with a tan snakeskin grain canopy roof and tan interior and a slant six engine. I built a 360 engine I got out of a Dodge motor-home, along with a 727. Rebuilt suspension with a P.S.T. master kit and used Shumaker mounts and Hedman Hedders. Engine has Competition Cams valve-train on the J heads, a .030 overbore, and 9 to 1 compression. T.C.I. Streetfighter converter. Edelbrock Performer intake, and Edelbrock carb. Lokar kickdown. Interior very spartan, needs redoing. Broke original 7&1/4 rear almost immediately, replaced with 742 case 8&3/4 from a 1968 Road Runner with 3.73 gears. Painted Torador Red metallic(ford color) in 2001, paint showing its age with peeling clear-coat. Shows its tail lights to lots of street cars here in Monroe, Louisiana. Going to be repainted and interior finished within the next year.
