Thanks for that.
No wonder were not getting anywhere.
Should be making well over 100 bucks an hour.
NOT...
Dont know many people making that either.

Excellent point on saftey and emissions cost.
No need to pass on those costs either in the race package.

Another question I have.

What would a fair price be for a body in white today?

A pretty much turn key race car for 85K...yeah, that may sound high and those paint and cage number are laughable, you can get that done for a 1/4 of that........but, look at vehicles today. A loaded up Dually to pull that "race car" with is 65k and you see them going up and down the road everyday........Now which costs more...YOUR tow truck...or YOUR race car. Some answers may vary, but most everyone has more in their race car than their truck.

Agree there.
Those new dually's are as awsome as the price tag.
More than my house cost.
Stickin with my 74 D200. Does the same thing, just less flash and cost 10x less than new.
I guess I'm just a cheap son of a gun.

Would definately entertain a BODY IN WHITE tho.

Why dont they get it?

SRT and Mopar 10 are probably as close as you can get and be street legal - besides doing your own mods. Government safety, emissions and insurance will keep the HP down and the weight up from the factory. Something like a low option Duster 340 or big block Road Runner would be nice, but not possible these days.

"Just my opinion.
Do you think the cars of today are worth 50K?
And then to double that?
Auto workers and general public taking it in chin with wage and benefit cuts."

I get it...

You're making a political statement!!

As much as I wish it was....it isn't 1968 anymore.

It depends on if you still have flashbacks? I was just listening to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and Voodoo Chile on Youtube. The 1960s never (completely) went away for me. I was only 11 years old in 1968. Old enough to remember it, but not old enough to have not remembered it.

Ahhh
If only my dollar bought 6 times more... like in '68, and they were not trying to take back the devalued dollars I make today,
I might not think the drag pack is overpriced.
Agree, a much better time and economic outlook for country in '68

Political statement? No.

Hard facts? Absolutely.

Huh ???
New ?
Enclosed ?
I must be in the wrong area..........I've seen nice used pieces going for near that.
As far as the V-10 Chally ............me likey.
Pricey to be sure , but not out of line.
Now..........will they let one guy buy ten and race two like Ford did ?
I really thought that move sucked a wheel barrow full of ........well , you know.
There will certainly be a collector buzz following these.
If my pockets were deep enough , I would most certainly have one.
Then buy wrecked 2011 for the title and get plates and tabs for it.

Good point(s).

For 7 years I pulled my open trailer and race car with a $3000 used truck. I guess I got my money's worth. 2 years ago, I "upgraded" to a $11,000 used truck. That is my budget.

I have less in my race car, trailer, and tow vehicle COMBINDED than most guys at the track have in just their race car. Heck, some of their tow rigs/motor home/trailers are worth more than my house!
