Yes they were (finally painted my SS396 after 13 years of yellow, if I remember right the color was a Cadillac dark red):

Great looking car. My dad had 2 66 396's, a beige one that got totaled and a dark blue one he kept through college. The blue one was a 375 hp 4 spd.

It is. Well, technically it's the "Sport Performance Hood".

Love that SS! My first car was a 66 Chevelle. Looking at that is making me a little nostalgic. I wish I still had pictures of that car.

Got to love those chevelles, 70 chevelle was my first favorite muscle car when I was a kid in the late 90s.

My neighbor a few doors down has a beautiful red 66 chevelle, and there's another one (blue this time) a block away from us as well. Add in my 66 Buick and we have 3 66 GMs in a block radius, not bad!

Oh and I wish you still had pictures of that car too, I love seeing vintage pictures of most things but especially cars.

But your fuel economy is totally fake.

But your fuel economy is totally fake.

On the TRX window sticker, they list "gallons per mile", not "miles per gallon"

Actually, to quote a movie from a few years ago, I believe it's "smiles per gallon."

Well it has been a month since my dealership reached out to the district rep (numerous times) asking about the Super Performance Hood "built-in airflow features" as advertised on Ramtrucks.com with no response.

Does anyone know how to get an official explanation from Dodge? May be other dealership reps?

I would also like to know!

They aren’t going to admit it was just a marking ploy.

By all accounts I've seen it's just the normal Sport Performance hood. There is no special version for the GT models.

Response from my dealership's district Rep concerning the Super Performance hood!!

The rep got a hold of the engineers about the advertised description of the sport performance hood. They told him that it should not be described and advertised that way because there are technically no “built in airflow features” and the sport hood is purely for looks and non-functioning in terms of air flow or performance.

Now, wait a minute. I refuse to believe that Ram put bad information on their website. They're world-renowned for the accuracy of their information.

Marketing run amuck!
