exterior with black racing bucket seats What you see here is the
"Shart Cat", the victor of reality television race between two
teams - Gas Monkey Garage and Roadkill. Teams from the two shows
agreed to construct two classic Mopar cars with Hellcat engines
then race them in a televised 1/8-mile drag race before an audience
of 10,000. The Gas Monkey Garage Dart beat a ?68 Charger named
General Mayhem from Roadkill by .6, turning in a 5.86-second
elapsed time. The car?s background information is that Gas Monkey
Garage?s founder Richard Rawlings recalled delivering newspaper
with his father in a beige 1967 Dodge Dart. He found a similar car
and originally planned on putting a 340 CID V-8 and a four-speed
manual transmission in it from a 1971 Challenger. The crew was a
week into putting that plan into reality when Roadkill issued its
challenge and it took priority. ?We decided that if we?re going to
build a car for this competition, we didn?t want to just drop in
the Hellcat motor and bolt up some slicks,? said parts manager
Jonathan Mansour. ?We wanted to do it right by back-halving the
car, installing a four-link and dropping in a Powerglide trans.
Everything was so off-the-fly.? In addition to back-halving the
Dart with a Chassisworks kit, a race-ready, four-link suspension
and coilovers, matching it with a Magnum Force K-member and front
suspension, Gas Monkey?s crew moved the firewall back six inches
and fabricated a new trans tunnel and driveshaft tunnel. The tight
timeline notwithstanding, everything appeared to be on schedule
after dropping in the Hellcat Hemi, Powerglide and nine-inch rear.
The car also has Wilwood 11.75-inch discs with four-piston calipers
all around. Under that stock hood is a Chrysler 376 CID Gen III
?Hellcat? Hemi V-8 engine with a factory 4.09-inch bore and
3.58-inch steel crank and rods with forged 9.5:1 pistons. It has
aluminum cylinder heads, hydraulic roller camshafts and a factory
IHI 2.4L twin-screw supercharger. The engine breathes via an
American Racing two-inch exhaust with long-tube headers and custom
3.5-inch turndowns. A Ron Davis radiator with electric fan handles
the cooling duties. Backing this engine is an ATI Powerglide
two-speed automatic transmission and a 3,500-stall convertor, a
nine-inch rear end with 35-spline axles, 4.30:1 gearing and a
Detroit Locker differential. In the trunk is an Aeromotive fuel
tank, pump and pressure regulator. Transferring motive power to the
pavement are Mickey Thompson ET tires, 29.5x10.5.15 in back and
25x4.5x15 in front, mounted on Centerline Elite wheels, 15x10 in
back and 15x4 in front. If you?re a fan of Gas Monkey Garage?s
