Are they even affordable? Or did they pull a Gtr on us. I recall they were supposed to start at $75k. Maybe it's the market right now but I remember all SRT, demon cars, hell cat are all over $100k:rukidding:

What do you mean affordable?

You get a lot of car for the same amount of a base model performance European equivalent like a 911. When you start adding up all the goodies on a 911 or an M car, it gets pretty expensive.

I'm creaming my pants from all the sound clips that I've heard from this thing. Then again, I'm sure that soundtrack is only good when the revs are kept high.

DROOL........... man that engine is so compact compared to other modular V8's

I hope they make it a crate engine. Some pretty cool hot rods screaming for that screamer. Lol

Bro, this is pretty close if not a supercar performance for less.

I am super impressed

670hp of natural aspirated 8600rpm goodness

god damm.... honestly this sounds more impressive than the turbo/hybrids of Ferraris and Mclarens.....

yes i get it, the game moved on, torque fill hybrid power/instant response yadayada.....

hahahaha is it too early to talk to wifey abt mid life crisis yet? I mean daughter is grade 4 and my house has somewhat doubled in value in the last 7 years loooool
