Along with Barack Obama, the Cubs, Al Capone and the Sears Tower, Chicago is home to the world's most famous Mopar dealer, Mr. Norm's legendary Grand Spaulding Dodge. While Mr. Norm sold the dealership in the late 1970's, the Mopar Hall of Famer has recently made a resurgence, officially introducing the 1968 Dodge GSS Hemi Dart last year in Chicago as well as the Super Cuda and Challenger at SEMA just a few months ago. The Challenger is making an appearance here in Chicago as well, with a slick new two-tone paint scheme and 900 supercharged horsepower underneath the hood. Other features include a carbon fiber front and rear spoiler, Katzkin leather interior, SSBC eight-piston front brakes, and a Hurst pistol grip shifter. Like the Hurst and its HEMI Challenger, Mr. Norm is selling a production version of the car with a a variety of styling options and performance levels ranging from 600 to 900 horsepower.

They look like a custom version of the old "sprint star" wheels that are co coveted in watercooled VW circles -

Scratch that - brain was saying one thing and hands typed a different thing...
They look more like the old Empi Rader wheels. Mainly seen on old V-dubs and datsuns.

For God's sake, how many different "specialty" versions of the Challenger and Mustang does the world need?
I mean c'mon 1 or 2 specialty vehicles are enough for 1 model. One for the high-end performance crowd that don't want to skimp on features and One for the Racing crowd that want bare-bones. The challenger has like atleast a couple of dozen of these vendors producing what is almost the same package minus the different colour combos (that could be done by anybody for under $1000)

Heres a strange new concept -> if you don't like, don't let yourself get bothered with it!
Also known as the "Change the Channel" Protocol, or CCP for short.

Hey moron, guess what? I got a strange concept that I'd like to share with you too, Don't knock on people because they state opinion.
P.S. Heres an acronym that even YOU could understand....STFU

I like the paint job. What's sad about some of the comments is that most of you have no clue who Mr. Norm is and why a Mr. Norm custom Mopar is worth more than most of the other specialty cars.

900 hp would be much better in a different car....this car is heavy and does not like the track and it's no where being aerodynamic.....
