the video I posted of my wife and I drag racing the duster with the pink motor we can see the $30, 000 Mustang just barely ekis out at the end of the quarter mile. Was totally smoke him in the 1/8th...
In all fairness, though, you can spend 40+k on a new Toyota Highlander and go 16's.
Like my sons challenger, to put a Classic car in mint condition inside and out, and under the hood and in the trunk, and have 375 hp (that would be about 420 gross) V8, A/C, rack steering, 4 wheel strut suspension, cruise control, FI, 8 speed transmission giving a yawn on the interstate with 3.90 gears, 4 wheel disc brakes, air bags, and yahty yahty yahty…. for 25k would be impossible. The money is more than just the E.T., it's the entire package.
