forty years after the film premiered, New Wilmington Dodge dealer and long-time fan Bob Frederick has unveiled a special edition model to celebrate this genre classic. All of the “Kowalski Edition” cars are based on the 2011 392 Inaugural Edition Challenger SRT8, as white was not available for standard SRT8s.

Frederick explains: “I met with the team and told them what I wanted: 2011 Challenger SRT8 392, six-speed manual, Bright White, stripe delete, Dark Slate SRT seats, WP3 Alcoa SRT aluminum [sic] 20-inch wheels, 730 Nav and SRT Option Group II…. I reminded them that the paint was already in the plant and that the unique SRT8 parts were already there in white as well, so it seemed logical that it could be done.”

 

Dodge-Challenger-RT-Vanishing Point - This was a shocking hot model with 375 hp, 440 cubic [7.2 liters] V8 playing probably the sweetest of the soundtrack of the vehicles. You can not find a better car to go to Kowalski from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours?

 

Welcome to our second installment of Freak of the Week, where for every weekend, Weimann, Chin, and I look for something balls off the wall crazy, weird, or just polarizing and worth talking about. I know it's Monday today, but bear with us...

In this week's freak, we introduce to you a Dodge Daytona, affectionately named "ANGRIER", that's been built for Pro Touring.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Pro Touring (as I was moments before writing this post), it is the act of building your muscle car for handling. No, not for drag racing. Not for turning left, either. Handling. Take a classic muscle car and upgrade it with performance parts that meet or exceed standards of a modern sports car-- this includes suspension components, modern braking systems and drive trains. 

These muscle cars are meant to be driven in what would have previously been less than familiar territory; the road course and the racing circuits that turn right too.
