Shaq Upgrades His Dodge Challenger With Red Eyes

shaq-1Though he hung up his jersey years ago, Shaquille O’Neal, AKA Shaq, has remained in the public eye, a larger-than-life figure who has become something of a pop culture icon. Whether it be movie cameos or Buick commercials, Shaq’s unbelievable size is a huge factor in his success, but it can prove somewhat limiting when it comes to purchasing a new car. Just how does a man as big as Shaq get around?

shaq-2A Dodge Challenger, as it turns out, and like any good car guy, he isn’t satisfied with the stock look, so he turned to CSC Customs to give his 392  Hemi-powered Challenger a unique, and mean look courtesy of some red LED headlights and underglow. The “Shaqcat” isn’t the only Mopar in Superman’s garage though.

Earlier this year, Shaq bought himself one of the first Dodge Charger Hellcats, and while his white Challenger Scat Pack 392 “only” packs 485 horsepower, it shares the oversized LX platform with the Charger. That means lots and lots of interior space for the extra-large former NBA star, who stands at 7 feet 1 inch and weighs over 300 pounds. As you can see from some of this other instagram shops, the Shaqcat also had new, bigger wheels installed, as well as red LED lighting in the wheel wells to provide a sort of backlit look to the Challenger.

Shaq’s car collection extends well beyond Mopar though, with the superstar having approximately 30 custom cars on hand at any time. This includes huge vehicles like Cadillac Escalades and Ford F-350s that you’d expect from a man of Shaq’s stature, as well as a Smart ForTwo convertible that demonstrates his more playful side.
