VZ, you totally lost me at NRE, you must have me corn-fused with my evil RICH twin. 100K? Let's see, allowance $5.75 a week, lawn mowing $25.00 a month, aluminum cans $15.00 a month = 132 years and 3 months for 100k. So where does the 2400lbs come from, the curb weight?
Yes Tom's engines are tits, wish I had more jingle to throw into the project, I did pick one NRE out for day dreams. So pretty.

A GT-M with one his TT LSXs would be sheer madness. 800+HP on pump gas, 2,400lbs. Even with Gucci aftermarket suspesion you'd still be under $100k.

I mean less than $100k (less than a ZR-1) for Hyper Car performance. 2,400lbs is roughly curb weight for a GT-M as I recall.

This sporty car looks like it's in the 2400-lb neighborhood, http://www.gtr-xs.com/gallery.htm

"The Dodge" has an appointment with Dr. Frankenstein this week, in goes the roll cage and hood sub structure reinforcement.

Sharing: Attached are a few pic's of the interior today before the RC, and one of the 88's.
