I've been looking at this car pretty much day in and day out and I'm already currently set on buying one when the Hurricane powered variants come out. I think for me, the biggest thing with this car is the potential for what this car can be. I think Stellantis would do better to offer both the sedan & coupe with both engine options because again, with this car already being extremely controversial, it would benefit the brand to give this thing everything in every body style. Focusing on the six pack here, since that the only model I'm interested in, I'm just looking at certain aspects of this car and wondering if Direct Connect, or aftermarket companies, like Vicrez, could offer the much needed styling cues that would make this car what it needs to be. One of the glaring things that needs to be addressed is, in fact, the hood. Understandably the I-6 may be a bit tall which explains the bulge, but a 68-70 style heat extractor hood would actually go great with the styling the car has. The bulge might be slightly wider, vaguely similar to some of the Jeep Wrangler hoods but without all of the louvers. We can only hope that Vicrez (or another reputable aftermarket company) will address the doors and somewhere soon, someone is going to make a practical Daytona wing which will probably end up being more like the wing that was on the Shelby GT350 mustang, and not a giant 4ft tall wing. A modern retro version of both the Go-Wing and Gull-Wing should make their way into production either Direct Connection or aftermarket. I figure at some point Vicrez will have variations of the current wheels available for the new car along with replicas of the new wheels in different sizes for both the new cars and the previous gen L-platform cars. We may even see some of the aftermarket lighting companies surprise us with some modern retro headlamps similar to what the Challenger had as it would look closer to the 68-70 Charger. As far as power wise, I can see Direct Connection offering Stage kits for the SO Hurricane which would not only offer a tune (pre-kit) but also some of the parts from the HO Hurricane that would be essentially bolt on upgrades with the second kit putting power around the 490hp mark, keeping it well below the 550hp of the Six pack high output variant. There are always going to be a plethora of turbo back and catback aftermarket exhaust systems, bolt on aftermarket performance upgrades, suspension upgrades and everything else so for me, that's really the driving point of what i see for this thing
