According to the guys at RPM Performance, a Ridetech dealer in Warrendale, PA, the BOSS SNAKE was built completely in house by RPM and designed by Kaucher Kustoms. It features a 770 horsepower Jon Kaase built 520 cubic inch Boss Hemi, Ridetech suspension featuring Chris Alston components, PPG Goodguys Yellow Paint, Custom one off Intro Wheels, Baer 6 piston brakes with 14 inch rotors, Classic Instruments Gauges, Custom Interior by RPM, Custom exhaust by RPM and Stainless Works, Custom Flowmaster stainless exhaust, a Tremec Magnum 6 speed transmission, Centerforce clutch and hundreds of intricately fabricated parts and pieces by RPM.”
Obviously, RPM has put many of their own custom touches on this car to make it very unique. We took a minute to catch up with RPM owner and project lead, Curt Ukasik, to ask him about the role our suspension played in the build. “We wanted the Boss Snake to have great driveability, excellent handling, and to sit as low as possible,” said Ukasik. “So naturally we chose Ridetech for our suspension components.” The Snake features ShockWaves and (2) three gallon air tanks with compressors.
“The Ridetech stuff also saved us time on our build,” added Ukasik. “As usual everything shipped quickly, correctly, on time, and with quality packaging. Bret [Voelkel] and his crew always come through for us.” When asked how he thought the finished car compared to the concepts, Curt replied, “I think we beat the concepts drawings, and that doesn’t happen too often!”
The BOSS SNAKE will serve as the official grand prize giveaway vehicle for the Goodguys 2010 event season. It will be displayed at all Goodguys national events this year. More info on Boss Snake visit: good-guys.com or RPM-hotrods.com.
