Samuel Hubinette's Still-Born Mopar Challenger 850hp Formula Drift Car

[xknowonex]

The Challenger was built to replace Samuel Hubinette's Formula Drift Viper. Sadly, it never saw any action due to delays and Mopar's abrupt sponsorship termination.

Some Engine Specs: Mopar A8 aluminum engine built by Gary Stanton Racing Engines, with Mopar W9 raised port heads, pumping out an estimated 850 hp and 849 lb-ft of torque to BFGoodrich tires. Additional Mopar components include Mopar front and rear sway bars on the suspension.

Hehe, not anymore. ;)

[Cool Cat Racing]

Cool technology but that car is absolutely hideous.

[FoolsDrifFWD]

Damn

[Doppelgänger]

I'm about to just start deleting these posts since the OP has no use for this forum other than to dump pics and not contribute to the forum in any other way whatsoever......

[Nemesis]

I truly hope it lasts longer on the track than the Charger did. What a freaking disappointment.

[PURP]

I'm about to just start deleting these posts since the OP has no use for this forum other than to dump pics and not contribute to the forum in any other way whatsoever......

WHY?!?!?

atleast he is posting car pics in the car pics section on a car related site..

Maybe you should start banning the WL crowd ... you know, since they don't contribute to this CAR FORUM either...

Pics are crispy as always, man. Motor is badass... Mopars theme is not very appealing tho...lolol..

What the fuck. Wow, that's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. BAN some1 b/c he shared a drift car on IA IN the car pics section? JITB makes a thread or 10 of these a day. There are hundreds of members on here that do NOTHING. Stop focusing on one person.

-Ant.

[KevinT707]

WOW that car is amazing, I can't wait to see it in action!!

[Doppelgänger]

lulz

This is IA... it's easy to watch people go if they read a fe wlittle blotches of type hahahaha

Thanks guys for the support and kind words :)

I don't think Hubinette's Team, NuFormz Racing, will ever race it or anything else in the near future. From what I have heard, the Challenger isn't the greatest platform for drifting due to its length. Mopar paid for it to promote the Challenger line and that is all there is to it. They have drifted the 4-door Charger as well and the same thing happened. The Viper will remain their main car even after Mopar dropped them.

I'm with you. If this dude would participate on the forums, I'd welcome him in. Instead, he is just promoting himself. -48 for the OP. Again. Later, QD.

[Doppelgänger]

BTW, the skate wheels are to reduce friction when rubbing up against another car or a wall. No shit.

I wouldn't ban and delete. I just -rep the dude, lolol. But I'd be down with banning and deleting WL-lifers, though. Later, QD.

And I believe this is about the first time you've ever made a post in a thread you have started.

wall rides

Where the hell did I say anything about banning?

[VickNotic]

[Glides]

lulz

This is IA... it's easy to watch people go if they read a fe wlittle blotches of type hahahaha

It's funny to watch people pedal backwards too.

[Doppelgänger]

:rolleyes:

[JITB]

me and him have had short words back and forth. you have people posting up his pictures all on IA, so why not allow him to post his own.

[PreludeVTEC01]

Keep posting!! I check your blog anyways. Great pictures as always.

[pimpdaddy]

Cool technology but that car is absolutely hideous.

100% agree


I truly hope it lasts longer on the track than the Charger did. What a freaking disappointment.

same platform, same fail...of course mopar is just a five letter spelling for fail.


I wouldn't ban and delete. I just -rep the dude, lolol. But I'd be down with banning and deleting WL-lifers, though. Later, QD.


I know who I'd want ban. :rolleyes:

[JDMGRNAV6]

[On_Her_Face]

I love it!

[quickdodge®]

I know who I'd want ban. :rolleyes:

Me too. Wanna see who can get it done first? Later, QD.

[JEY$JDM]

Oh QD, have you seen this? http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/1521289666.html

I do not like the looks of the car, but its still BAD ASS!!!!

[Black4DrEK]

Nice find JEY!

[.gauge.]

The lips on the wheels should be blue. Reddoesn't go with the whole scheme of things.

[eraser4g63]

This reminds me of NASCAR, yeah it kinda looks like a challenger but it is really just a tube chassis that you could bold any body panel so your good for when dodge goes belly.

[Genji-Sama]

Lol, my hater senses are tinglin'. But on the flip side, gotta love the roller blade wheels, beast can even drive on the wall now!

[pimpdaddy]

Me too. Wanna see who can get it done first? Later, QueerDouche.

Whooptie do, I want to be cool enough to have 60,000+ posts, drive a wal-mart truck, and control what goes on in a forum...wait going places in life and using this forum for entertainment sounds much better.

I've been many places, my friend. Done many things.

And please don't take a shot at my (past) job. It's never been done before. No one has ever told me trucker jokes before, lolol. But the money I make for the work I do, I'm extremely good, man. Good try, homeboy.

But it's all good. Later, QD.

[xknowonex]

Another very remarkable feature of this car is that the car is very modular. Most of the panels can be very quickly replaced within a matter of minutes with sockets or screwdrivers.

[bdydrpdmazda]

hmmm...

rollerblade wheels...

[DustnU]

Damn I can't wait to see that BEAST in action!! Great post!!

[cpearson]

Killer engine setup! Nice pics.
