Here’s a sneak peek at Street Outlaws Star Robin Roberts’ new 1968 Pontiac Firebird built by RJ Race Cars using a plethora of Quartermax components.
This two-year project will be powered by a ProLine Racing Hemi boosted by a Hart’s Charger centrifugal supercharger run through a FuelTech ECU.
“I met Robin four years ago at the PRI Show, and we got to talking,” said Rickie Jones of RJ Race Cars. “We got to be good friends and started working with him, and in the years since, we’ve pretty much redone everything on his old Firebird — we’ve front-halved it, mostly back-halved it, put all-new suspension and four-link in it, new housing, anti-roll bar, redone the pedals, the seat, some of the roll cage stuff. So that car is about 75-percent RJ. He went out and was doing well and winning races, and every time we did work to it, he saw that it was going faster, so when it came time for a new one, he turned to us.”
