In Ralph Gilles’s 1000-hp 'Hellucination' Dodge Charger, we fight temptation:
The car sits low like a channeled NASCAR racer, which gives it a wide stance, although the body lines are unchanged aside from frenching in the bumpers. The car's final weight is around 3990 pounds, with a 55/45 weight bias. The interior features leather-trimmed Recaro buckets and custom door panels, rear package tray, dash, and roof liner—all colors and materials approved by Gilles via Zoom calls and FedEx packages during the three-year build.
"I've never had an old car. I've always wanted one," said Gilles, quickly adding the caveat—after I made argumentative noises about his ownership of classic Giulias—that he has"never had an American beast." Like many Charger desirers of a certain age, Gilles got the bug for a Coke-bottle Dodge as a kid, watching."It's controversial now," he said,"the flag, but I don't think it came across that way back then.
Somewhere around this point, the truck in front of us turned off, and the next few minutes of the recording are just supercharger howl, various swear words and laughing, and finally Gilles saying,"Oh hey, I found this rattle that's been bugging me, it's the fire extinguisher pin."
