Under the hood of the 1970 Dodge Challenger sample mounted cast-iron Hemi 426 big block; with the diameter of the cylinders and pistons during the 107, 95 x 95, 25 mm (4 x 25 3, 75 inches) of its working volume amounted to 6974 "cubes". Compression ratio 10, 25; with a pair of 4-chamber carburetor engine gave out 430 hp at 5 th. of turns and could disperse massive muscle car from zero to 96, 5 km / h (60 miles) of 5, 5 sec. Challenger Hemi took 1/4 mile (402 m) from the place in less than 14 seconds.! Colossal "eight", but there hp - And hp Nowadays, the engine power is measured in American standard SAE «Net" (the net return on the flywheel - after all the losses of power and selection of units-consumers). While 3-4 decades ago it was assessed (in the interests of the advertising) of SAE «Gross" - excluding losses from vozduhofiltra, silencers, fan and pump cooling system, electric and so on. So what causes the once awe Hemi 426 today shows the brake stand only 340-350 hp Well performed by Foose (spetsgolovkami cylinders with Indy and tuned exhaust manifolds Hooker) - nearly 550 forces. "Net".
Tyuning- "eight" is docked with a manual 5-speed gearbox and the rear suspension Keisler TKO (all the same beam axle on longitudinal leaf springs) finalized at Unique Performance. Sportrezina BFGoodrich (front rear irregular size) 245/40 / 19ZR and 295/40 / 20ZR mounted on stylish 18-inch wheels from Foose. The steering mechanism "gear-rack", the brakes Wilwood Engineering ventilated perforated discs with a diameter of 355, 6 mm in front and 304 mm at the rear 8. Optima battery is referred back - to improve the "weight distribution" of the axes.
"Cockpit" is protected by a built-in safety cage, the driver and passengers are accommodated in individual sports seats. Air Conditioning even "regular" (carefully renovated), but the "music" is quite modern - from Kenwood.
Cool machine - for an amateur enthusiast. Mad linear dynamics, although the road holding and handling him - after all the improvements - hardly drawn to the level of a "golf" or "Civic". Still enviable prize.
