    Interesting motor choice. The smaller v6 225 rather than the v8 from the looks of it. I dont know the weight difference but I bet it performs pretty good still

    I didn’t even catch that the first time I saw it. I’d sure like to see some performance numbers from the v6 & v8, my brain says the v8 would be faster; but....225hp is 225 hp. Maybe it’s in the holeshot.

    The Pro XS is going to hit the 10% SAE variance limit. The regular 225 is around 225 actual hp. Nice looking 198. If I won the drawing I would get it.

    I wonder why he got the 225 four stroke V-6 over the 225 Pro XS four stroke V-8? Is there a big price difference that would exceed the performance difference?

    Not the motor of choice for the customer. Ulrich is using it as a loner until the V8 is available

    Ulrich certainly went the extra mile for their customer. Kudos to them. That is a great looking Charger, congrats to the new owner.
