Way out of the normal Joes price range but a 0-60 time of 4 secs and a 1/4 time of just over 12 secs is pretty darn good.

12 seconds seems pretty slow. I mean not Pinto slow but for the price give me a 1972 Chevelle and that kind of money and we'll be running in the low 10's. And still have some cash to spend.

12 secs is still a respectable time but i get what your saying, a V12 that puts out almost 500 HP i would have expected a little better. For that kinda money i would have gotten an old GTO or Firebird and had them restored.

I'd prefer a restored Roadrunner.

I’m simple, give me a 55 Chevy and I’m happy.
