Jovita Torok, aka @SRTJovita<\/a>, is the President of the Canadian Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> Club and the proud owner of five SRT\u00ae<\/sup> products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightning speed, high horsepower and classic heritage:\nthese are the three most popular qualities of Mopar vehicles. However, at ten\nyears old, the \u201cbright colors and cartoon characters, like the Road Runner\u201d\nwere the most attractive qualities to Torok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in British Columbia, Canada, Torok hails from a life of\nmuscle. Growing up, her grandfather was a mechanic and her father\u2019s favorite\nhobby was tinkering with whatever he could under the hood. From a young age,\nshe held a fascination with muscle cars and their aesthetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torok\u2019s first Mopar vehicle was a 2006 Dodge Charger SXT\u00ae<\/sup> that had the style but not the ponies, so her first upgrade was to the Charger Rallye. The Charger Rallye allowed for more personalization, which ultimately led to Torok\u2019s involvement in the Mopar community, most notably the establishment of the Canadian Mopar Club. In a little over five years, the Canadian Mopar Club has gained over 1,600 members and has grown two additional chapters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her obsession intensified when the announcement was made\nthat a special-edition car was heading to her local dealership from an estate\nsale. She immediately put down a deposit despite not knowing the exact model,\ncondition or color. All she knew was that the car was special. It turns\nout, it would exceed her wildest dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the estate sale ended, Torok became the owner of a rare\n2014 SRT8\u00ae<\/sup> Superbee with only 10 Satin Vapors of this spec ever produced. Distinguishing features of Torok\u2019s Charger\ninclude leather seats, satin trimmings and a grey 392 badge. Torok also\nmodified the Vapor Superbee with custom forged wheels by Adventus, a Borla\nexhaust and some extra bling under the hood. She describes the car as\nsensational and maintains that it will be a part of her permanent collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Torok crafted her dream Superbee, she was also\nsimultaneously collecting SRT4\u00ae<\/sup> Dodge Neons. Unlike the Superbee, her favorite\naspect of the Neon is that \u201cnobody ever knows what kind of punch that little 4-cylinder turbo is packing under the hood.\u201d Her SRT4 Neon collection varies\nfrom a clean stage-one car to multiple renovation projects that will bring them\nback to their former glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to collecting full-size Mopar vehicles, Torok collects\nMopar memorabilia, die cast cars and tin signs. In sharing her personal\ncollection, as well as her knowledge, Torok has transcended what once was a\nfamily hobby into an international community. She organizes and attends shows\nregularly, including in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 marked Torok\u2019s fourth consecutive year at the SEMA\nShow, an event she describes as exceptionally exciting as she was able to\nwitness the reveal of the Drag Pak Challenger, and meet her favorite builder\nMark Worman, as well as her favorite Drag Racer, Leah Pritchett. When asked\nwhat she thinks of when she considers her future with Mopar vehicles, she quickly answered\nwith one word: \u201cracing\u201d. In the next decade, Torok dreams of learning from and\nracing alongside Pritchett. Torok is jumpstarting this plan by dedicating one\nof her SRT4 projects for track use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she isn\u2019t ready to commit to any particular aspect of the auto industry just yet, Torok is looking to make a career out her love for Mopar vehicles and FCA products by expanding her collection. Soon, she\u2019ll acquire a new 50th Anniversary Charger Daytona SRT Hellcat Widebody, and something tells us that she\u2019ll add at least one other Neon along the way. You\u2019ll want to keep an eye on this Mopar fan in 2020<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
