I always loved "Safari " windshields !
I used to race class 9 " Challenger " buggys which is this in a tube frame , my ass still hurts 32 years later !
Moving up to 1/2 1600 felt like a Fleetwood Formal limousine by comparison .
Not pics but an awesome video

At $200 a "toof", he's still saving up for one more.
Edit; I think we've been looking at this all wrong. That's clearly a KeN cold air intake.

I was reading about the new Charger and found this little gem;
"Perhaps the most controversial feature of the 2022 SRT Daytona Concept was the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. It’s an actual exhaust chamber that functions as a resonator for sound generated by speakers. The noise, Dodge says, will meet or exceed current Hellcat decibel levels and is engineered to mimic the cadence of a Hemi V-8.
We didn’t get to hear it at the Charger’s reveal event, a withholding which felt deliberate given the media’s unfavorable reaction to the initial sound back in 2022. Since then, Kuniskis said, the engineering team has worked through “hundreds” of iterations to get the sound just right. Chief Engineer Audrey Moore told Hagerty that for her it was the most fun part of the Charger project. (The toughest? Minimizing complexity and maximizing shared componentry between the two- and four-door Charger variants.)"

Seems like V8 sounds from a speaker might be a factory installed item.
The stupidity surrounding EV is the #2 thing that makes me hate them so much.

Just read an article on that one not too long ago revealing some of the things they did to pump-up that straight 8 flattie. Cool little car!

I remember watching a video some months back with some bigwig from Dodge and they had the EV on stage to show off the sound it was going to make. I didn't think it sounded like a Hemi...
That's because it has a Eemi. I think it's something like an enema.
I did pick something else out of that article I linked, “They told us we couldn’t sell Hemis,” Kuniskis said in a promotional video, shown to journalists at a Detroit location requested we keep secret, “but they never said they had to be boring and slow.”.
Who is "they" dictating that HEMIs can't be sold? I'd guess the fed boys. Just another reason the agencies need to be gutted before they take us back to Pintos and 80 mph speedometers.
