Introducing The Juggernaut, by Nth Moto. This is the second complete build we've done for Will (Junkie), in addition to his 2016 ACR-E TT which is still the world's fastest Viper ACR at 222.9 mph in the standing 1/2 mile. With these roll race and drag race events getting faster and faster, and the purpose of the ACR (affectionately known as Colossus) to be a no compromises street car we set out to build something that can be both well used but also put performance first in every regard. With that said this car is intended to run on Hot Rod Drag Week later this year so long as the event is still going to be held, so hopefully we'll get to have it out to stretch it's legs again soon.
We debuted the car at TX2K20 a few weeks back with the sole intent of entering the roll race, in which we were DQ'd in tech over the front tire width which was not clearly defined in the rules. Unfortunately between that and the unfortunate mistake that we'd made it through tech on this same tire before caused confusion over the rule writing and played into the misinterpretation, which we respected the ruling and decided to just run in the exhibition drag racing class anyways to get some time on the car. Now, for those that have raced cars at this level getting the torque converter, suspension, tire, and power curve to all play nicely right out of the box is a challenging thing and we're proud to say that the first ever 1/4 mile pass on the car resulted in an 8.02 @ 190mph. It then went back to back 7.70's after that, and then a 7.51 @ 197.9 on the fourth pass so far. We're just starting to tickle this combination, so this thing is going to be really, really fast.![]()
Why is it in the Gen V section you ask? Well, because it's a Gen V engine stuffed into a Gen II chassis. The engine in the Juggernaut is a culmination of everything we've learned with our other Gen V builds and applied here, with the creative freedom to design a turbo system without as many chassis restrictions and with a focused intent on going fast. Which is great for our Gen V customers because this showcases the engine strength we're able to achieve as this is almost an identical combination of hard parts as what's in our big power Gen V's roaming around which is part of the reason they're able to rack up literally 10's of thousands of miles and abuse at 2000+ hp.
Enjoy the following teaser video and share with your friends and car enthusiasts in a time when everyone can use something to smile about! There will be a full feature film coming talking about more of the details on the car which will tell a lot more about the true design ideas and thought that went into this build. Make sure to watch this in 4k!
