Jay Leno finds time to drive and give his thoughts on a custom 1970 Hotchkis Dodge Challenger 340 T/A six-pack.  Joining him in the video is John Hotchkis who dishes on the custom Challenger built by his company.

The Hotchkis Challenger uses the factory 340 engine with a few modifications but the real work has been done to the interior, exterior and suspension of the car.  The major modifications have been done to the suspension where Hotchkis went to work adding tubular A-arms, front and rear sport sway bars, subframe connectors, sport springs, adjustable steering rods, adjustable strut rods and a new power steering unit.  Other goodies found on the Hotchkis Challenger include classic 5-speed Tremec TKO transmission, Flowmaster exhaust, Stoptech brakes, Forgeline wheels with Yokohama rubber and a Hurst shifter.  All modifications done to the car are bolt-on except for the subframe connectors which had to be welded.

Check out the video below and find out if Leno answers his most important question "Will It Do A Burnout"?
