Like a hotcake that's been sitting around for 4 years and lists at $99,000.

There is no demand for this one. Many threads about it and it's cousins since 2009, and very few people like them, or buy them.

Kind of neat.

I don't think they look bad and would drive one but for over $90,000 I would much rather buy a real wing car :Twocents:

wingcar

They had a silver "Daytona" on display at the SEMA show that looked pretty nice.....but it is a bit pricy and not for everyone, but then the original wingcars are not for everyone as far as that goes......

(If I win the lottery, I'll buy another Challenger and do it....but with my luck at the lottery you will not see one of these in my driveway anytime in the near future)

The shame of it all is-WHAT we WANT-we don't get (like they did in the 60's for the everyday man walking into ANY dealership and ordering a RACE car for the street ! If they did it again-NASCAR would do even better and we'd be Helping American business IMMENSELY !

We ( as in us on this website and other real car guys) are a minority in the new car market.  The stuff "we" want are made, but they cost an arm and a leg and loaded down with luxery junk so that they appeal to amatuer car guys.  Anything to make a buck

WINGIN IT

I applaud the effort, but not so keen on the design.
That side waffle-type exhaust, for example ...  :eek2:

What he said...
   I'm sure it looks better in person. Maybe it should be tried out in the ARCA series. Hpp could be today's Creative Industries......
Would probably look better after a race team got ahold of it and massaged it a bit for track duty. Be nice to see a Hemi powered Wingcar makin' laps again. The world wouldn't seem so crappy.

Heck with ARCA, run it in Nascar. :icon_smile_big:  Nothing wrong with ARCA.  Nascar runs imaginitive cars anyway, throw away the rulebook and let's see some real racing again

Ouch 90k

I thought that was a joke in the original post.

I think i'd take a real daytona in a box for 90k over the "new" winger.

Lets kick them out and do real racing-running Shine once again ! Yee Haw ! :cheers:  :scratchchin:

California doesn't listen to anybody, they set thier own standards. Then everyone else thinks they need to keep up with the Jones.

Hollywood is pretty much ground zero for recycling the past.

I was looking at the the one they had on display at sema last week and I really liked the quality of the wing. I think they should reproduce the real Superbird and Daytona wings. I would buy one of each if they weren't overpriced.

Exactly.  Go right to your Italian-owned Dodge dealership and order your Canadian-built Challenger.

I had to get my Canadian Built Challenger (2008) from North Carolina.... :lol:

Engine was from Mexico, transmission from Germany.
