I didn't know what I'd think, but I really like that car! It's the Daytona Dodge should have built. I bet the aerodynamics are far superior.

I'm kinda torn either way, I guess it would depend on the cost for the parts

No thanks, Richard's Charger was slick as heck as it is without all that add-on weight slowing it down.

Pretty cool I have to admit, I like them!!

Having put the 71 superbird model kit together in the 80's I've always liked the idea.

Exactly, and that's why they re-styled the 71 b-bodies from the prior gen brick-on-wheels. This gen Charger was the best just as it sits.

Adding the wing & nosecone from a Daytona to a later model car is just ruining a good thing.

Nay also.

[DeltaV]

Aw hell naw.

I never liked the originals. It always looked like a modern ricer boy car to me. Just missing a fart pipe and Type R decals. So nay.

The issue with aerodynamics is you end up with the cars we have today. There’s only one way to cheat the wind in a 4 wheeled vehicle. To me it just takes any kind of artistic thought out of car design. The federal regs did the same.
