Vehicle Story

By combining the timeless lines of the ’70 Challenger, the track proven Viper chassis and suspension, and the Hellcat 6.2 HEMI; we aim to create a vehicle that turns, stops and accelerates on a world class level.

On track and the street, at shows and conventions, there can be no better way to showcase YOUR

products and what they are capable of.

SEMA 2020 is just the beginning!

Upon completion we will be racing this car on a national level with the OPTIMA’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car Series, where with YOUR SUPPORT, we intend to rove that this car is one of, if not the fastest, street legal and street driven classic cars in the country and the world.
