This is a great time to be a muscle car enthusiast and it's not just about the production models, which are even stronger than the originals, or the wacky builds that keep showing up. You see, the rendering realm, which seems to gain traction with each new season, also has something to say about this. Case in point with the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona we have here.
If you happen to identify as a purist, you might not be so happy about this pixel portrait. Nevertheless, Karan Adivi, the digital artist behind the stunt, has a simple question for us all.
The pixel master has come up with what can be described as a restomod version of the Daytona and now has a question for us: does this look sweeter with the original wing or in shaved form? In fact, if you use the swipe feature of the Instagram post below, you can easily compare the two and pick the one that floats your boat (no Challenger pun intended).
Now, those of you who are tuned into our Speed Shot tales (there's a tag for that below) might be familiar to this creation.
That's because the said artist first showcased his work on the NASCAR icon that is the original Daytona (this set a 200 mph closed course record back in 1970, remember?) in March. Back then, the wing was still on, but, with or without the downforce hardware, there's another part of the Mopar toy that makes for the most controversial feature of the machine.
The said title has to go to the contents of the engine compartment, since we're talking about an 8.4-liter V10 borrowed from the Viper.
Come to think of it, a wingless Daytona shouldn't be that much of a problem, since Dodge itself offers this nowadays. We're talking about the 2020 Charger Hellcat Daytona - while paying homage to the original, this skips the nose cone and the said wing, due to pedestrian safety regulations. Of course, the rendering world has already addressed that matter.
