THEN it would would be worth more than $60k. It would be truly Old School Hemi Drag style. Nostalgia with the ET's to back it's badging.

A heavy car with modern bling and creature comforts just isn't going to get nostalgia crowd.

Does it work? Well, look at the first Viper. Freaking thing didn't even have real windows. The C5 Z06, while it did have AC and a radio, no other options. Both of these sold at a premium price even though they were less sophisticated cars.

And of course, the Z/28, but at this point nobody knows if it will be a success in the showroom like it is on a track.

its called a Drag Pak and they have been making them since 2008
