Not the old one...a regurgitated name on a mini version of the new Charger.
Probably something on Allpar about it but here's a link to it on

Jon, a good racing buddy of mine has both a Daytona and an Avenger (original
one) with the RWD conversion. The Daytona still has a full interior and is
occasionally driven on the street. No need for a turbo in this as a single
4-bbl, LA 360 has taken it to 10.60's @ 128 in the quarter. His Avenger is
built lighter and runs high 9's with the same engine. Write me privately
if you want more details.
