Apparently you've never been for a ride in Elgin’s car......let me tell you it is far from stock. The new SRT-4 has NOTHING on this guy.
To start with the motor has a completely aftermarket balanced rotating assembly with Keith Black flat top pistons, Eagle H-beam connecting rods and a Mopar high energy crankshaft. On the top end he has a custom head, intake and exhaust port matched with roller rockers and lifters and a set Indy stainless steel valves. Moving on the induction side of things we have a TB and head port matched intake manifold mated to a Hahn Racecraft 16G turbocharger making around 10psi of boost. This monster breaths through a custom fabricated cold air intake, capped off with a Green Filter conical air filter (no cheesy APC crap here). On the exhaust side we have a Borla tubular header paired up with a genuine Mopar exhaust system, including high flow Cat (keep it street legal
) . Upon further inspection of the interior, aside from the 200 shot ZEX nitrous system in the back, and nitrous controller (programmed by Tom Bottiglieri [195]), we can see some attempted weight reduction of the interior by apparent "gutting" of the dashboard and related components.
Ladies and gentlemen the numbers speak for themselves... the car will run 0-60 in 4.4 seconds (race fuel, race program), and do the 1/4 in the low 12s @ ~125mph. This car rips and the best part is, it's a complete sleeper. Pull up next to this at a red light, laugh at the drivers face and then prepare to get a whooping.
