NEW "1970" DODGE CHALLENGER XV Model

[Ragamuffin]

Aug. 14 (Jason Harper for Bloomberg [ w/ additions & tweaking by] ) -- Not good: flashing police lights in my rear-view mirror . Understandable, one might think, considering I'm driving a yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 5.7-liter Hemi under the hood, which makes a vroom-inducing 440 horsepower. However, I'm under the speed limit, so what gives?
The officer edges his cruiser alongside and suddenly I understand.
``You want to look at the car, don't you?'' I say through my open window.
``Yeah, pull over.''

The car-mad state trooper recognized at a glance that the Dodge is unique. And it is: A product of XV (Xtreme Velocity) Motorsports, this Challenger costs $176,000 and is actually very new. A muscle car reborn, if you will.
An XV Motorsports-modified 1970 Dodge Challenger XV001 The 1970 XV Challenger at a Glance
Power: 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 with 440 horsepower.
Drive train: Five-speed manual.
Price as tested: $176,000.
Best features: The sound of the roaring engine; first-class handling.
Worst feature: The sound of the roaring engine if you're trying to talk to a passenger; the spine-punishing ride.
Target buyer: The muscle-car lover who wants performance in a classic package. Ok;Ok: http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news...d=aWNEg_Nzvug8 .... Uuut-ohhh ; XV's model is loud and brash, the definition of a muscle car. And I'm betting that its XV ilk will almost surely be able to spank Dodge's brand-new Challenger up and down the road and back again. Yes, again --- Shhhhh

That's an awesome car. It probably would spank the 6.1 Hemi. However, I think that the 500+ hp 6.4 Hemi would give it a good run!

Have you seen any 1/4 mile times on it?

Yeah , probably and maybe !! No, no info stated for this stat, but with 440hp it ought to be at least up to the 2006 Concept's. I'm just wondering how it feels and how it handles ... in regard to the latest trend ;drifting ! !! Click >HERE
