16% on $750K is a HELL OF ALOT OF MONEY! assuming it brought that and Bob didn't let it go. Me and a million other people wish we had that kind of disposable income. Kudos for Bob proving the car before it disappears into into someone's private collection.

what did he prove? How to break a million dollar car?

I agree with the above, what was proven? Hey maybe I missed the Here is you Daddy numbers??

Incredible car but I am a little missing something how a site dedicated to driven cars honors a car simply for driving? A burnout or two? It is his car and his to do what he see fit. I agree that he is one of the few that even did drive such a high end car but what message is being set when a car simply is driven? For $750k I might expect to know it's performance. A Ferrari Enzo is $500k and has had it's performance proven weather you like the out come or not.

I can't wait to see what that car brings. It has been driven which means it has to have wear showing and the tuck em away guys might not like seing that. The hardcore performance guys I am sure would be all over that with a solid 0-200-0 number. Heck I think BJ probably should be throwing some fee his way as it will draw them in big time. Besides the build I am sure there a a ton of extra fees including repairs that have to be added up to show a break even price. That said I think it will bring the $1 million as it just might be the most known Hemi ride out there and no wait to get it built!!

Good luck with the sale and can't wait to see the next.

The Yellow ART GSX was one of the fastest cars at the RTTH2 event. The Cuda had a faster time at this event. We could do the if A>B and B>C then is A>C??? lol

BTW for a million dollars or so I would hope he could beat a ford mustang with airbags

The Cuda was also put through its paces at the Pigeon Forge Event on the auto-x and then proceded to trash the rear end on the drag strip up against Prodigy which did the same thing at the same time ironically. I don't know of another street driven hot rod that cost as much to build as the Cuda that has had the sh$t driven out of it like Bob has driven his Cuda. The only thing I think that even comes close money wise is vintage race cars reliving there youth.

Let's not forget about the Chicayne.

It did the complete power tour, many air ride events. Drove to a couple good guy's show. More then it's share of 160mph blast in Manteno and even on the highway.

BTW - I am not dissing the Cuda in a sense of the word as it's truly and awesome car. I've spent hours looking at the car and it's pictures. It represents the next step forward in car building and design.

On a side note if Dave ever finishes the TT v10, viper drivetrain Charger at his shop i guaranty people will be as shocked as they were when the Johnson Cuda showed up on the scene.
