    At 1:06 or there-a-bouts, the driver and steering wheel are on the right side.

    Just bought my widebody. Originally wasn't thinking about a widebody but my buddy had one coming in with all the other options (and color) I wanted except it was an A8. After test driving several standard Scat Packs with A8 and M6 I decided I could live with either option. When I went to test drive the car when it came in I was blown away by the difference between it and the non-widebody. SO glad he ordered a widebody! IMO, it's totally worth the extra money!

    I have to ask what do you find different between the 2 body types?

    I fell in love with the regular Scat Pack after driving 2 loaded examples at a local dealership. One was an A8 and the other an M6. I immediately started looking for one in Octane Red with a manual trans. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. As luck would have it my buddy had an Octane Red loaded Scat Pack coming in to his dealership. The only issue was it was a widebody. I'd never thought about a widebody because I didn't love the look and I was sure it would be more expensive. So, I started doing some research on the widebody. What I found is that everyone that reviewed it seemed to think it was the ultimate Challenger. So I began to get excited about the car and when it came in I ran over to check it out. As soon as I laid eyes on it I was done. Total love at first sight. But the best was yet to come. All through the test drive I just kept smiling more and more.
    It rides better than the standard Scat Pack. It handles better. It accelerates and stops better too. It's really incredible how this car drives. And even though I didn’t originally want a widebody, I gotta say it's got a presence that the standard car doesn't. It "looks" so much more muscular. I just love the car!
    Bottom line, if the widebody is in your budget, you just gotta try it. You won't be sorry.

    It's 2021 now almost 2 years later. Are you still happy with your SPWB? Or did you get the ZL1 rock guards and PPF (Expel) on all 4 wheel flares?:gr_grin::driver:

    Silver is also another low maintenance color like white.
