Outlaw 10.5 Drag car runs 3.85 1/8th mile with a V6 Hemi

[JR]

Ok this is hard to explain, but basically a race team from Quatar has chopped the front two cylinders off a Billet Hemi block, (ending up with a 9 Liter turbo V6) and recently ran a 3.85 1/8th mile with the thing. Here's a quote from the article explaining it.

What started life as an AJPE 5300 Hemi Billet Block V8 was transformed into a 559ci (around 9.0 litres) V6 by removing the front two cylinders.

The now six-cylinder block was mated to a custom 5.3 bore space cylinder head and a Speedtech intake. I believe the reason behind running a six cylinder in the first place is to take advantage of a rule which allows non-intercooled six cylinder 'alcohol' cars to have no minimum weight limit.




I'm not a drag racing guy, so I'll let the article and the video explain the rest. This thing is wild. And the exhaust note is crazy.
