XV CHallenger on Cover of PHR!

[dqhemi]

I finally 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:

“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:

Yeah congratulations. The article is great. I wished I had a Challanger so I could buy your products. Do you think you will ever make parts for chevrolet?

[Rybar]

Just got mine as well, congrats to you guys at XV, you are putting together some awesome cars and parts!

congrats john just got my issue this morning done read alot of articles in it ..you guys are rocking the mopar scene..great job!!

I'm really happy you guys are liking what we are doing!

People that have seen our stuff first have have been pretty blown away. We've met with many of the high end builders doing Mopars now and all of them want to run our setup.

Re: doing other platforms - we have a few more tricks up our sleeves for the Mopars, but after that we'll have to see....
We've had a lot of people contact us asking for us to do other platforms. If the demand is there no reason for us not to go and do it.

Very well done car, John! :cool:

I was somewhat disappointed by the article. With PHRs focus on handling and suspension tech, they basically breezed over the core of the concept.

On the other hand, the car is very, very nice.

:cool: I would like to say that it came out nice but, I would of liked to have seen your rear set-up on the car.

I am building a 68 charger, and was trying to figure out what set-up to run in the rear. Since the article fully explianed how you guys do your R+D, I really don't think you have any compition on modern mopar suspensions.
I am sure whatever you guys have up your sleeve for the b bodys will be as impressive as the challenger.

Great work. I have your next candidate to work on...my 2005 Honda Accord LX! :) I could see some 18x12's in the rear :)

Manny, we're building a 68 Charger right now - should be done in Sept. It will be maxed out like the Challenger.

I will try and get some pics up of the 3-link rear. We built a display setup of it, but I haven't had an opportunity to photograph it as of yet.

Bad Chariot, re: your Accord - How could we possibly improve upon perfection :hmm:
