Back in 88 I was reading an article in Car and Driver about a Lamborghini, and they referred to the wing as the Hyundai wing. When I got to the end of the article I was looking at the cost breakdown for the car and I realized where the term came from; the wing costs as much as a Hyundai  :bigsmile:

Can't say I'm a fan of just the wing, but the wing and nose together make it look like a completely different car.  And the "Nitro" is because they filled the tires with nitrogen.  Race cars do it for scientific purposes but on a street car it's not worth it.  Especially at that price!
Yes I own a 1972 Dodge Challenger Convertible T/A S/E with a 440 Six Pak. Can it get any more wrong?

It's got a cop motor, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks...and a wooden spoiler.

When I worked at a Honda dealer in the 80s, their markup for work done in the service bay was 400%-800%.
