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

    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.

    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......

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
