They're finally bringing it over, eh? That's something I thought I'd
never see! What's up with that price tag though???

For $90K, you could very easily make *3 brand new* Dakotas run mid to
high 13's. Immagine what you could do if you spent that cash on a single
Dak? $20K for the Dak and $70K in mods??? Wow! =) Heck, you could throw
a twin turbocharged 528 HEMI under the hood, and STILL have well over $40K
left over. Blow another $10K on a sweet suspension and drivetrain, no
problem, we've still got enough cash left for a nice trailer and a tow
vehicle. :-)
