As the RTR stands for Road, Track & Racing the project can´t only focus on performance and cool design without attending the safety matters in a serious way. One of the most important features is the roll cage. It is designed to fit and work as the ultimate protection against outer impacts in case of the worst to happend. Let´s hope it never needs to come in use but with the power this car will produce it feels good to add the safety features we can.
In a small town in the middle of Sweden where the snow lay white and sub zero temperatures is the reality outside, Power By Johan gives birth to a uniqe beast, the Dodge Charger RTR by PbJ. If the team isn´t satisfied with the progress of todays work, they stay during the late hours just to keep the build on track and as sheduled. Still a lot of focus on fitting and style in the engine room is taking place. But in order to stay ahead all other tasks to ready make the build is also attended by the team. Since a time ago we have really shifted up in to top gear to be able to show you the progress from last year on the Bilsport Performance & Custom show in Jönköping, Sweden the 25-28th of march 2016.
Welcome to Turtle Wax stand on the show to say hello and check out our work!
As the Dodge Viper V10 is a pretty fullsize engine from the beginning the clearence space rapidly vanish in the same pace as more custom parts are mounted. All the modifications and one of a kind solutions on the RTR project will eventually create a high performance beast of machine perfectly suited to the RTR emblem. This weeks challenge is to solve that the headers will fit perfectly in order to be able to take the next step.
Dodge Charger RTR by Powered by Johan/ Johan Eriksson
Along with the sponsors this is a project Johan has nursed to do since childhood. A heavy modified classic muscle car with top level performance, handling and design in all details. The project has developed in the hidden for a few years now in different volume off speed. But now the build is on 24/7, seven days a week to reach the finishline in 2016.
The goal is a one of a kind car that suites both on the street and on the track with both attitude, power beyond enough, and even more…..
