SEMA 2008: Mr. Norm's AAR 'Cuda redo

[Intrepidation]

The Dodge Challenger is offering tuners one of the hottest platforms to work with since the current-era Mustang arrived in 2003. And although this is supposed to be the year of the Camaro, there are tons of cool Challengers here at SEMA. One of our favorites is actually badged as a 'Cuda built by Mr. Norm's Garage. Yes, that Mr. Norm, the legendary owner of Grand Spaulding Dodge that was famous for building some of the fastest Mopars in the country during the muscle car glory days. The car you see here is one of two the company put together for this year's show. This one is made to replicate an AAR 'Cuda. It features a supercharged version of the 6.1L Hemi putting out 900 horsepower (!), forged wheels, Hotchkis suspension upgrades, massive SSBC brakes, and a custom front clip that makes it look more like a Plymouth. Very hot car.

900 horse in a package that looks like it can still take a corner without the blower flipping it-the-f*ck over.

It's on.

Anyone know anything about these wheels?

I love it..wonderfully retro modern...love the '71 Cuda style touches like the grille and taillights. An AAR style hood would have made it even cooler, though.

Anyone know anything about these wheels?

They look like a modern interpretation of Halibrands. They also look like something Intro would make ( I plan to use Intros on Project Camino).

And.. this car is incredibly sweet!
