Is that a stock front end except for the brakes? Looks light. I know the car is a pig front the factory but how much would this car weight as it sits?
Those look like the stock cast arms

I guess I never figured that the Viper engine would fit in those cars. It actually looks like it went in there fairly well but maybe there are some sheet metal mods.
It looks like a really nice package. Probably would've been fun to work on that project. Whoever ran that project for Mopar didn't feel a need to only use parts out of the MP catalog!
MPR did most of the design/fab work on the early ones and does the GM and ford ones also... I seen the ford at his shop not long ago but I cant say that

Look at that dash , Lads. A.C. ? A.C. ???? Can't be. If my pockets were deep enough , I'd own one and a wrecked 2010-11 Chally for the title. That would be one AWESOME streeter.

I was told this one was $100,000.
They were marking up all the street challengers at the dealers around here when they first released them. It's no shock to me.
At that rate, just buy a viper.
Nice car though. I like it. It's not about what brand parts it has in it. It is what it is. A race car.

IIRC when SRT was given the go ahead for the V10 Challenger concept car the rules from the head honchos were factory parts and no cutting of sheet metal. It fit so well and easy that they wanted to do a run of production V10 Challengers. In the end there was cancelled due to not having enough crumple zone from the bumper to the block.
