;D 0-62MPH in 2.3 seconds on gravel. ;D .... and 550-600 hp from 108 c.i. @ 32 psi boost from a turbo+supercharger setup. Vehicle dry weight < 2000#. |

I know one guy with a 2.0L (SRT-4) that can pull those numbers (other than weight) at about the same boost level in street trim and another with a 2.3L (SVO) that does 9 second quarters. Not sure what they weigh, but those numbers aren't bad for cars that cost less than $500,000.  Put either in gravel or even a road course and it would be a different story though. Seems like that thing would be better suited at Barret Jackson than on eBay. |

Seems like that thing would be better suited at Barret Jackson than on eBay. They have it listed on Craigslist for $800,000. It is an iconic car in unused, pristine condition. EDIT: Also very few Barret Jackson bidders could appreciate it's narrative. 90% of them are die-hard muscle car aficionados. |

I understand it's a piece of racing history. The problem I've always had is that I would drive it anyway or get rid of it immediately if I owned it. I can put little models on my shelf for a few bucks if I just want something to look at. I appreciate the significance of that car and cars like it, but I've always enjoyed using cars. Kinda like when I go to a car show and the guy that brought his car in on an enclosed trailer and never started it or ran it just enough to reach his spot beats out a guy that is pretty close and drove there. Just seems wrong to me. Know what I mean? I was thinking the same thing about the Barret-Jackson auctions. If it isn't from Carrol Shelby, Dale Jr., or John Force... what the heck is that thing? I don't have A)much money B)a car worth much money, so I don't know where stuff like that would be best suited.  |
