Dave,
Those are new he got sponsored by HRE way before the shoot....actually about two weeks after your SC was installed.

Props to Mr. Mitch "Flash" Gordon and his ride. Very nice ride, I can't imagine what a rush it must be to have that power on hand in the GS. Congrats to SRT as well, second time getting a nice write-up in Autoweek. Now the other auto mags need to quit sleeping and get some SRT cars in their aftermarket comparison tests. Anyway, great job guys 
What size are the 547 HRE's on the car BTW? Looks sweet!

I'd never realized this, but this car is the ultimate sleeper, even wth the HRE's. it has such a subtle outer appearance, yet it can probably accerlerate with more sport bikes! Very nice, once again
