Thoughts:

It's still an Alpha at the end of the day
Could this guy possibly suck up any more ?
It's still an Alpha at the end of the day
The exhaust sounds like crap, my Omni GLH sounded better, bet it was way more fun to drive as well
He didn't exactly put the spurs to it, just cruised around the track - too afraid to break it ?
It's still an Alpha at the end of the day
Larger rubber than a Hellcat -
Did I mention, it's still an Alpha at the end of the day

I wouldn't mind having an original GLH.

Me too, I have looked for one from time to time, but they are pretty roached out. They were a low buck car to begin with, so not surprised really.
Too bad, mine was hella fun to blast around in (5 spd). Trashed many a Golf & Jetta with that little beastie.

I've seen a few 80s-90s 4 cylinder Mopar performance cars listed for sale. I would kinda like to possibly get one. Conquest was cool.

Seats in those were way too small & uncomfortable for me, even back in the day

My 5'10", 120 lb girlfriend was snug & comfy in it It was clearly made for the avg. JDM (read - sumo wrestlers need not apply) and not US folks IMO.
Good looking car and fun to drive tho.

Kinda jabs you in the ribs.

Why does it need 9 parts to say: no one likes the hornet, it doesn't compete in the market well, it comes off the lot with issues, and it will likely fail as a product...

It's all sponsored by Dodge.

Ah yes, the GLH

According to Carroll Shelby, it stood for "Goes Like Hell." It was a rare bright spot during the performance dark ages at Dodge, between the 1974 Challenger and the 2005 Magnum.

$52k for /that/ ???

All their vehicles are way overpriced now. This is why they can't sell them.

Pretty sure their target demographic earns $15-18/hr. No way they can afford that.

0 marketing development has gone into their business. Sounds like ego. I will offer it for sale at a high price and the peasants will suck it up.
