Hurst Honors the Late King of Pop with a New Challenger Special

Not really.

The Hurst gang is putting out an entry-level “Competition Plus” edition of the Dodge Challenger, for those unable or unwilling to fork over the heavy expense of higher models.  The Competition Plus is really an upgraded setup akin to what you saw with the Shelby GT: there’s a special Eibach suspension, a fierce Magnaflow exhaust, 20″ alloys, exclusive color schemes, blackened labeling, a large hood scoop, a short-throw shifter, and an embroidered interior matched to the exterior tone.

It may surprise you all to hear that this could be our favorite Challenger yet–we stress the word could.  The upgrades are practical and everything looks good, but we’ll hold off until we see final pricing.
