It's a very civilized version of the car. I scoped out the one - Lance's car - that was at BJ in September. His is the original. The 9000 changes include some changes to the cockpit. Like the Cobras, the driver's feet are at an angle due to the trans tunnel. Supposedly it's straighter. Doors are changed somehow, door handles on the outside I think. They also have electric windows. Regular 3-point seat belts with 4 or 5 point harnesses optional. They want to put a small block 427 into them. Another well-known builder told me he had an original 289 HiPo. I would have gone with the 289 with a Paxton

Lance also told me that they had an aluminum body car "in progress" that was not spoken for yet that could be finished before a glass car.
