That thing is pretty quick of the line.. but too big to be competitive on a autocross.

Joe Rogan's Cuda looks much better too..

Driving the fuck out of it? Not really...

Driving hard yes. With his $1M job I'm sure it's set up quite well to handle the likes of auto-X'ing which i think only really puts the brakes, suspension, wheels through the paces hard enough to render replacing.

Car has way too much power to be on such a course anyways and setup is pretty much aimed at straight line from what I can see.

NO way is that a 1,000,000$ cuda

First off.... Cuda 'verts with a manuel pull that kind of value IF they are original (or restored) and numbers matching engine/transmission/chassis.

So yeah, this guy is autocrossing his 160k Cuda (guessing 60k for the car prior to mods, and 100k for engine build, suspension/tires/wheels/interior etc.)

cheap? no

1M, no
