Doug;
They had black ones, silver, and the orange. They have a carbon fiber insert in the hood. I thought the silver with the insert looked the best.
When Ford heard what was going on they sent that guy out with the Super Snake.
They came out from the track and pulled into our place to ask if we thought they could get away with drag racing each other on Rosemond Blvd in front of our place. I told them if CHP came by, they would be toast. However they were unaware theyt the entrance road to the track was private, so they went over there to do it.
We didn't go watch ( had to get my guys back to work ), but I think it would have been pretty even. The Stang had the Challenger covered by about 120 hp, but it was way over powering the street out here.
Very cool being at the track. We see cars that most people only see in magazines. We have the only full on machine shop out here, so we have had people like Penske Racing come in and ask us to machine something for their Americam Lemans Porsche Spyder team that is up there testing. I have actually met Dan Gurney out here.

I could be way behind the curve and just noticing this now. But assuming the challenger is stock -- do we get hood struts instead of the hood prop bar as a stock feature of the Chally SRT8? If so, rock on. Always sad to see manufacturers leave out that cheap/simple feature -- case in point, that stang.
