For Sale – Pro Street Turbo Charger – 700RWHP Street Weapon
My pride and joy for nearly 20 years. This is an immaculate, professionally built street car with serious horsepower and proven performance.
Built to handle 1,000HP, but intentionally tuned to 700RWHP to keep it street-driven and cage-free. It’s a genuine 9-second car, with a best ¼ mile of 9.8 @ 140mph but stopped adding boost due to no roll cage.
Despite its high performance, it drives incredibly well — smooth, responsive, and behaves like a stock car around town thanks to the turbo setup.
In 2019, the Charger underwent an extensive, professional bare-metal restoration and repaint.
✔ No rust
✔ No bog
✔ Bumpers re-chromed
✔ 4-inch reverse cowl bonnet added
✔ Presents in outstanding condition
