From the article above…looks like it still sucks. “Equus Bass770, America’s newest muscle car Featuring GM’s LS9 engine from a Corvette ZR1, the Equus Bass770 promises the best of retro and modern American muscle, in a 640-hp package costing $250,000. The entire frame is custom built from aluminum and carbon fiber, and debuted today at the Detroit Auto Show. If you’ve got the change, its looks are well worth the splurge.” Awesome gas cap door for $250k. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25499[/ATTACH] This car is ripoff of every iconic 60’s musclecar, I don’t care what the drivetrain is. At that pricepoint I’d be calling up the Ring Brothers… ---
