Hurst To Offer Competition/Plus Package for Dodge Challenger - Dodge Challenger Forum: Challenger & SRT8 Forums

Those shifter experts at Hurst have just announced that they will offer a new modification package for the Dodge Challenger … and the real surprise is that it is available for Challengers of all colors.

Hurst is well-known for its either white/gold or black/gold paint schemes, but that certainly limits the company's customer group. This new setup, the Competition/Plus package, will be available for any Challenger, be it B5 Blue, Hemi Orange, TorRed or any other color.

Along with appealing to a broader audience, the new kit is designed to offer performance at an affordable price. It includes Eibach springs, a Magnaflow exhaust, 20-inch Hurst wheels, color-matched leather seat inserts and stitching and a Competition/Plus shifter with a classic white shift knob ball.

Hurst just announced the new Competition/Plus package for the Challenger at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, CA.The Competition/Plus package is available for the RT and SRT8 Dodge Challenger at Hurst Dodge Dealers at cost of $18,495 above the factory Challenger price.

$18.5 sounds like a lot of money for that package.............IMHO.

Purchase a Kenne Bell and a nice set of 22's and save the other $8500 for fuel and tires!!

It is awful expensive for an 'appearance' package with maybe an exhaust?

That price sounds more like teh price of the first hurst editions released. This package is suppose to be more affordable, so I doubt the 18k is accurate.

at least they got the look right.... the gold versions just didn't do it for me...
flat black hood with color stripes... nice touch!!
still waiting for my Hurst shifter from HHP... a savings of $17,700.

Hey, I like that look. Matte black hood with the red racing stripes. Hmmmmm. Man, with these cars, there is no end! Now my mind is thinking AGAIN! I wanted to do a '71 CUDA front grill and now this hood combo.
