That's a good question, only to be answered after we've analyzed all the changes better. If there's an increase, it won't be a lot.

I hope.

I posted some pics in my gallery of Peter P's new 427 at Tony's showing some of the chassis and body changes...very impressive.

While at ERA today, Peter showed me the new car and the first body with all the changes. I was expecting to see a remake of an old dodge k-car or something. How do you improve on the body??

Most of the changes are underneath the skin with the frame. The body, however, will more fully integrate with that frame (my words not his). The bottom edges will lip around teh fram to have a smooth look, where now the body comes down to a sharp flat edge ostly hidden by sidepipes. That as well as some changes to iron out the symetrical issues from the old body.

Future owners will be very happy as a number of options now will become standard in the new car such as aluminum trunk and engine panels.

I didn't talk price as I will be sticking with my car for a while and did not even want to start thinking about getting new.

We're still ironing out some on-the-floor production details but I should have some pictures in a week or two.
