It looks like there is already a lot of carbon fiber on the ordinary Hellcat. What else could they possibly carbonize?

Do you think they are going to add a bikini cowl or something?

’twas a sarcastic post, the wraith has an odd elegance that would be ruined (maybe) by this treatment. the hellcat is big and ugly, and better for it. I’ve admitted to my nastiness because it’s inappropriate and counterproductive (maybe stronger meds? finding a healthy outlet for my aggression?) the bike rocks, and as I indicated, an arm and leg would not be too high a price.

Kudos for Confederate
In this post, I noted that high-end bike builder Confederate Motorcycles was based in New Orleans, and was hard hit by Hurricane Katrina. I jokingly suggested that I would take up a collection from my readers,…

The Wraith isn’t actually fully production ready yet, some final design work is still taking place which obviously was interupted by Katrina. In fact, the Wraith that everyone sees in magazines and photos was luckily not in the New Orleans facility when the hurricane arrived. The Hellcat is a current production bike, hence the special HellKat which I think is a tremendous idea and will be a superb machine not to mention a huge morale boost for eveyone and a nice way to raise money for hurricane relief.

And yes, you are being a bit nasty. Cool it.

while i’m acting superior and posting nasty posts,(see “when you see high gas prices – smile) i might as well add this one to the tally

what? what a stupid idea! anyone could see that a wraith would make a better platform for this release, and that two turbos would be cooler. oh well, no-one’s perfect. can i bid my left arm and leg?
