NZV8 #222

Jul/Aug 2024

NZV8 or is it NZV10? Whatever it may be, slapping you right in the face, this issue features one hell of a car. Not only is it the iconic ’68 Dodge Charger, but it's also been mashed up with a Viper V10, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder, there are not one but two turbos hanging off it! While the dyno left the chat at 750hp, believe us, there are a few more ponies in it. A stunning big block ’56 Ford F100, a tricked-out Chev Tahoe, and a Hemi-powered ’70 Plymouth Cuda are all joining it in the lineup for this issue. Don’t think we skimped on the events this time around either. Not only is the full coverage of the Repco Supercars Championship in here, but we also went from track to strip for the Nostalgia Drags at Meremere Dragway. And we didn't forget our southerners! The annual Twizel Show and Shine has a massive spread. Alongside all that good stuff, we have the regular "Straight Talk" with Tony Johnson (that will rattle a few), "Burnout Files" with Hayden Wilby, and a new segment called "Church of Speed" with its host Aaron Carson, who has deep roots in the hot rodding community. It’s an absolute ripper of an issue, so be sure to soak up all that V8 goodness this month — enjoy!
