wow, i love that hood!

makes me wonder, would it be possible to have an RT style hood and install throttle plates like that in the scoops?

some of the adds (hood, front bumper and grill) remind me of the 71-2 Road Runner

Nice car, but i would have loved to see the RT hood with the opening scoops

Love the hood, but don't care much for the grill and tail lights?

 :2thumbs: Alot of money, seems the speed numbers could be beat with less money don't you think? But the handling of the new suspension would out perform no doubt. Also I diagree with his last comment.............. It's a mopar, so there are NO other options.   :2cents:  :2thumbs:

Isn't 12.8 sec on the 1/4 mile rather high for a car with those HP and torquenumbers? :clueless:

When I first clicked the link I tough, "here we go, a Mustang-ed Challenger". But that hood is pretty trick.  The blower whine is cool ( I always like the sound of the '03 Cobra at WOT).

Price is high, but did I mention I like the hood? LOL

Thanks for the video.  Seen pics but never a video of the SMS car.  I agree, the hood, front/rear body work make it look way cool.

Ya I'd have to say I agree with you! I like the hood but the rest of it looks like a "tuner" car to me?
