Its all-motor combination uses dual four-barrel carburetors and a cross-ram intake—no supercharger and no nitrous. The Plymouth has run 8.98 seconds at nearly 150 MPH while maintaining the unmistakable appearance of a classic lightweight HEMI drag car.

Mopar Bro caught up with this incredible machine at Moparfest 2026 for a closer look at its history, construction and race-ready drivetrain.
