Just some more SHAKER Challenger history: the N96 option was postponed because Dodge was forced to design crumple zones into the hood. A Challenger has no header panel like a 'Cuda (or a '69 Camaro), and it overhangs the grille on the same plane as the bumper. So in a front-end collision a hood without a crumple zone is going straight back towards the driver and passenger, through the windshield like a guillotine. The other hoods either already had crumples or were easier to figure out a design for. The SHAKER took a little longer.
