This Is A $1 Million Chevy Suburban

Icon, owned by Jonathan Ward, is a company that specializes in creating restomods with great attention to detail. Their Reformer series of vehicles takes that level of meticulousness to even greater heights. One of their latest creations is a 1970 Chevrolet Suburban that produces 1,000 horsepower at the wheels. This unique vehicle comes with a steep price tag of around $1 million.

The 1970 Suburban is part of the seventh generation of Suburbans, which was produced from 1967 to 1972. These vehicles were known for their sturdy body-on-frame chassis and the option of two-wheel or four-wheel drive. However, the buyer of this particular Reformer had a different vision for the vehicle. Rather than having off-road capability, they wanted a low, fast, and road-hugging Suburban, and that’s exactly what they got. This incredible machine delivers in all those areas.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat Puts High Performance Tires to the Test

In a unique tire review, Jonathan Benson of Tyre Reviews takes the powerful Dodge Challenger Hellcat to a small track to test a variety of ultra-high-performance all-season tires. The Challenger is fitted with seven different sets of tires, including new models from Pirelli and Falken. Benson evaluates the wet and dry handling, braking, comfort, and noise of each tire.

Tire Test Challenger Hellcat

Benson acknowledges the difficulty of determining tire noise in a powerful muscle car like the Hellcat, but he notes that Continental tires performed well in this aspect. In terms of wet handling and dry braking, Continental takes the top spot, while the new Pirelli tire excels in wet braking and dry handling. The Falken Azenis FK460 also performs impressively, ranking third overall. Benson concludes by considering factors such as treadwear, warranty, and cost to determine the best tires for individual needs.

Although the tire test pushed the limits of the Hellcat, this powerful car remains composed. Benson’s review provides valuable information for buyers looking for the best tires to complement the performance of their vehicles.
