    I learn something new all the time. I never heard of it. it's a dealer add-on package but I do like the pistol grip shifter. I'm sure NONE of the 10 made are being driven and are just holed up in various collections around the country.

    I don't see why it would be holed-up in a collection? There's nothing desirable about dealer modified vehicles. Had this been a factory production vehicle, sure! The model isn't even correct. The Kowalski Challenger was an R/T. A properly done "Kowalski" model should look something like this... The color is wrong, of course... but, this is a properly done "retro" R/T.

    ^^ I agree. If I owned one it would be driven, but I know the 'types' that buy these at inflated prices. They rarely are driven and generally put away. That's fine, it's their choice.

    Damn Straight. Drive it, FAST. That is what they were built for.

    I did always want to BUY TWO of the same car.
    But one like a 4wd GT and the other a DEMON.
    Painted the same, same wheels, same hood.
    And go out and look for some street racing.
    Guess that would only work in a small town.

    Boy that narrator is really hyping up how rare and valuable this Challenger is with add ons you can do in your garage.
    It makes me want to search out and buy a bunch of totaled Camaros, leave 'em smashed up, paint 'em white and call them Kowalski Camaro tribute cars.

    You never know how cars will be valued down the road. Dealer-modded cars from dealers like Yenkos, Baldwin-Motion, and Grand Spaulding are some of the most sought after.

    Granted this 2011 car is just a white Challenger SRT8 with a drop-in air filter and a pistol grip shifter, and not a performance-driven dealer-modded car ... but collectors love to play on hype and sell to an unsuspecting shopper.
