Sell it for $23,000 with Plymouth branding. The Rapid Transit System returns!
Here's the recipe:
Car (let's just say xf for now)
350hp pushrod v8, with lots of potential (like the three valve mustangs love bolt-ons type of thing) none of that SOHC, DOHC crap.
6-speed
Front engine rear wheel drive
Standard options: air bags and a pistol grip.
Either a two-seater or 2+2.
Bucket seats!
Oh, and one small thing: NO TRACTION CONTROL. or at least the ability to turn that thing 100% off.
Is this asking too much for $23,000? What kind of a killing would DC make if this was made a reality?
