Is the "shitbox" a Bentley or a Chrysler? It says Chrysler but... Shitbox is an apt term.

Author: Why waste time with this rather than wait for next-gen EV? They're going to kick even more ass.

Electric cars already kick the arse of a basic 5.7 300C, but that isn't the point. The oily, loud, wasteful internal combustion engine is going away and not coming back and I had a nostalgia itch to scratch. The big Chrysler is an anachronism in a market where people make sensible choices (and good on them for doing so). This project isn't about outright performance, it's about a car culture that is about to become very niche.

Thank you for the enlightening explanation, and best wishes and good fortune with your project-mobile!
