Actually that has been around for several years and when I looked into the purchase of one FROM Startech they wanted $180,000. for what would be considered a ready to go floor model. It has the Mercedes Benz V-8 up front, it really isn't much heavier than the V-6 and like all the other V-8 forward mounted engined sports cars of the world they are said to handle very well. A company like Startech isn't like a couple of kids throwing an old V-8 in a vega chassis and calling it good, they are perfectionists. Also I think if they were selling them for one hundred grand we would be seeing alot more of them.
I love my SRT-6 but I would never compare the power from a V-6 with the Power of a V-8, It's called TORQUE Baby TORQUE.
