What car at SEMA reminded Brangeta of the early 4th gens?

This one...

Love it.




It's the HPP Dodge Challenger Daytona.

I want one without the 600 horsepower. I could never afford a car with that...

It'd be fun to have as a daily driver. Insane looks without the horrible length of the original Charger Daytonas and Plymouth Superbirds. The overhangs really aren't all that big. I think it'd be easy to park, and because of the huge spoiler, you'd never have a truck back into you because they couldn't see your car... make mine light metallic blue.

Dodge didn't make that car. A company called HPP made it for SEMA.

Charger... Challenger... I don't care. It looks good, and that's all that matters.

JMO, but I think it looks incredibly UGGGGGGGGLYY!!!! From the front it looks like a Pontiac, not a Dodge. All the scoops, etc. look like they were just glued on, the side one is particularly bad. And then you have 345ci. on the hood, how lame!!!

Well, aside from the Charger/Challenger thing, I don't agree with the wide blackouts over the headlights. Those were only on the Superbird, never the Daytona.

That's true, but the current Charger is a four door car. The Challenger is the only thing Dodge has that's in the same realm as the Chargers in '69, that being a two-door car muscle car.

It's a throwback to the old days of stock car racing. They would put the displacement on the hood then as well.

Who the hell would want to recreate that monstrosity? The Daytona was the beginning of the downward spiral of NASCAR.

I know! I'm referring to the 345ci. being lame, as the originals were 426's.
