yea...I heard about them a while back. My 'restrained' joy is based on usual excessive cost, limited build and likely reality that few, if any of them will actually make it into the hands of 'regular' folks ... let alone make it to the track.
Again, the whole point of the original "Muscle Cars" was they were cheap, basic (big motor, light car and stripped down) and ready to rock 'n roll.
I ain't "feelin' it".
