    Flipping through the channels just now and the show Tosh.0 was doing a comedy sketch where he and this 8 year old were going to steal the two cars owned by the guy in charge of Comedy Central.

    They showed the two cars and one was a C6 Corvette Convertible and the other was a red 360 Spyder with Challenge Stradale wheels and a CS stripe.

    Now, I think its a great look, but when they showed the back of the car it had the "Challenge Stradale" script on the Challenge grill! WTH is that about?

    I've never understood rebadging a car to make it look like something it isn't. Oh well, he should have just put a "Type R" sticker on it to be a little more original!

    FWIW.
    That car is the Meridian conversion. It is the best, most accurate, representation of what a Challenge Stradale would be, at least in side the US. It has actual Challenge Stradale brakes, the full body conversion, engine modifications, the rear diffuser etc.

    Well, that is pretty nifty, but still...

    Do they do anything to the interior?

    Yes. The original car was fitted with Daytonas so sport seats were added. The interior was mildly stripped and carbon fiber was added, however the car has a powerful after market stereo.
