So, not quite so much glass as the first one.

I thought that was pretty neat that FCA will sell you an engine good for 1000 hp right out of the box.

Looks cool. I like the idea.

I just don't see the rise of the same excitement that came about with the original wheel standers.

But I could be proved wrong!

I think it's way cool, drag racing needs something.

The latest rendering shows the car sans rear deck lid, replaced w/ fastback "glass", and engine moved back. Should be awesome, if it becomes reality.

At over 2 tons stock, that's a pretty heavy, fat car to be trying to launch that high for any extent of time.

I'm sure they'll lighten it up a lot for exhibition, they'd have to, but it's sure a walrus of a car compared to the original.

Is it just me, or does it seem the new cars just don't have that same raw, muscular look that the old pro stock racers had in spades?
