Like every year, getting a car built for SEMA can be very overwhelming and stressful. This year is no different and the Challenger is appropriately named. Chris and I have been working on the G5 Challenger program for almost 2 years now.
What really kicked things off was the discussions we had on our five hour trip back to Phoenix leaving Las Vegas. We kicked around ideas for the name and I sketched while we talked. That's when the G5/S and G5/R direction was developed. Then the concept of doing a Sam Posey car came into the mix! We knew right away that that would be the car, if we built it, that could possibly steal the show LOL! We were excited. Next thing you know Sam Posey was on board 100% - WOW - what and opportunity of a lifetime!
Fastforward to today, the car is mostly back together, the paint is about done, wheels are on their way, and parts are showing up and sponsors are coming through! It's a lot of hard work, sleepless nights, but also exciting at the same time. I thought I'd share a couple of pics during the build. For now this is what I am able to post. I'll continue to post more pics as we get closer to SEMA.
The Sam Posey G5 Challenger will be in the Group Five Limited Booth #23679 located in Hot Rod Alley. Sam Posey will be there with the car so make sure you come by and relive some old racing memories or come meet Sam for the first time and make some new ones. We'd also love to give you a tour of the Sam Posey car as well as talk to you about what Group 5 has planned for production G5 Challengers.
The G5/R Twin Turbo Challenger will be located in the Snow Performance Booth #25157 located in the Racing and Performance Section. Team Performance really stepped up and helped us out with one of their Challengers. If you really wanna see one sinister looking Challenger producing tons of boosted performance you need to stop by and check this bad boy out. This car is a pretty good indication of what a top of the line G5/R Challenger can be.
