Default Hurst Hemi Challenger

At SEMA last year, the legendary shifter company Hurst made huge waves with its Hemi Challenger. We've been following Hurst's progress of the cars ever since, and even got the chance to get behind the wheel of the prototype car for a brief stint. We recently made the trip down to Hurst Performance Vehicles' headquarters in Irvine, CA to see just how stock Challengers are transformed into one of their limited edition muscle cars.

The gold Viper that shows up on the photo header from Barrett Jackson Jan '09 is also a Hurst.

Nice to see someone concerned with build quality in this day and age...they should have picked a blue oval to do though

The one I saw was a white vert with gold stripes. I can't believe I didn't take pics. It's a local car I'm told so I'll see it again.
