Don't forget the 260lb-ft of torque too

Shame the SKY Redline weighs more (well, judging by the base models it does anyways), since it's far better looking.

Either way, hell of a bang for the buck to be sure.

The Mallett V8 on the other hand is a hair over $40,000 (including car) USD.

Wow.. you really can't beat that price for the performance you get...

You'll be spanking M3s and such with a measly 20k pontiac

I wonder if a dealship would let me test drive one with out trying to hard..
