Does anyone else find the "Mopar Tax" ridiculous?!

A Dart Big M BBC retails for $2500.

I get that the demand and sales will never be what it is for a BBC but DOUBLE the price of admission for a decent Mopar block?! flame
Actually, less than half the price for a Dart Big M if you order one through Jegs.

$2459.......minus $100 for orders over $1599.....minus the NHRA discount if you have one, plus free shipping. Not to mention the state of the art cylinder head choices that are constantly being updated.

So yes, the MOPAR tax is ridiculous, which is why I'm doing a stock AAR Cuda' replica to drive around town in and will do the latest MBE 18* BBC casting in a Velocity Composite carbon fiber 67' Chevy ll to get speeding tickets in.


It's tempting to go the BBC route, pocket the excess money and go faster! Just won't open the hood to show my shame...
