    HPP (Detroit) converted a Challenger into a Superbird for a customer in Wyoming. While I am impressed with the quality of the work, I don't like turning a Challenger into something that it is not. What do you guys think? Thumbs up or down?

    I'm a huge believer in 'to each his own'...

    that said...

    it looks more like an F-body TransAm from the early 80s than a bird.
    IMO.

    I agree with that term also. I think its something different and cool looking too. Its not the baddest thing out there, but its does look pretty good.

    Richard Petty's Garage has done 2 so far. They are much cooler in person. I call it thinking outside the box.

    I don't think I want it for a daily driver but, it would turn some heads at the shows.
