At last year’s SEMA show, Richard Petty launched Petty’s Garage<\/a>, a new enterprise to build street vehicles. Now Petty\u2019s Garage has teamed up with engine builder Arrington Performance to produce its first line of custom vehicles, dubbed the Signature Series. Over the next five years, Petty will release 200 Signature Series vehicles: 43 this year, then 50 per year through the end of the production run. For those doing the math at home, that means the group will build just seven vehicles in its last year\u2014one for each of Petty\u2019s NASCAR Cup championship wins.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s car is a modified Dodge Challenger. Petty starts with an R\/T model, fitted with a 5.7-liter Hemi engine and six-speed manual, and makes substantial modifications. Engine internals are replaced with tougher forged parts to handle 9 psi of boost from a Magnuson supercharger. The upgrades should be good for 600 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n

Petty also bolts up a Hurst short-throw shifter, a Pedders coil-over suspension, Brembo brakes, and BFGoodrich tires wrapped around five-spoke Forgeline SP3S wheels. The Signature Series Challenger gets an all-black exterior treatment, with an optional functional shaker hood and non-functional racing stripe. The interior receives special leather seats and Petty\u2019s signature on the instrument cluster.<\/p>\n

The first Signature Series Challengers should be delivered next month. If you want one, plan on spending $34,930 on top of the cost of a stock Challenger R\/T.<\/p>\n
