Super Cuda
Copied from the contour forums..
The G- Force Cuda has been under plans for a couple of years. This November it came to life at the 2005 SEMA Show. It was unveiled in Primedia's Booth and hosted by celebrity image Bill Goldberg. Multiple concepts were developed by Chris Ito throughout its development. Hundreds of body modifications were manipulated by the team of craftsman at Johnson's Hot Rod Shop. A lot of time and efforts went into the rear valance area of the G-Force Cuda. This is important since this would be the view the Cuda would primarily have fling by at 200 mph. The hood created challenges for the team.
The look while completely modern has the retro look of the early 70's Mopars. It houses a EFI 572 cubic inch all aluminum Hemi. It has a hand fabricated intake manifold mounting dual throttle bodies and NOS injection. The brushed aluminum and pewter accents contrast with the light weight carbon fiber close out panels. The natural finishes provide a blend of beauty and a sense of purpose and function. The cut outs in the fenders and hood gave them the ability to run 19" wheels custom made from Colorado Custom. The chassis is a purpose built platform with speed and handling set for priorities. From the milled engine plates to the 6 speed transaxle carrier. The chassis is a completely hand fabricated work of art and science. Alan spent countless hours creating the one off set of headers that gently flow from the 2.25" primaries to the 3.5" exhaust system mounted within the frame rails for clearance.he interior follows the theme from the exterior. A beautiful blend of highly polished carbon fiber brushed aluminum and graphite leather surface provides the driver with the serious feel of speed with a blend of high end luxury. The one off gauge design is finished with a silver and charcoal face with brushed aluminum bezels. This provides the driver central monitoring for critical engine functions such as RPM, oil pressure and temperature. The one off Colorado Custom wheels are true pin drive knock offs measuring 20" x 12" on the rear and 19" x 10" on the front. These super big hoops are required to cover the huge super trick Red Devil 16" titanium rotors.
The G - Force Cuda is truly a modern interpretation of the one year only billboard HEMI graphic along with its double headlight grille. It's a super car to set and take in all its subtle modifications. We welcome you to come by and take it in at the various events it will be at throughout the year.
