Sure as soon as I come up with an extra $56,995 I don’t need.

I would want to cram one under a car hood rather than my truck. But, alas, I didn't pick the right 6 numbers. Back to work this morning driving a Ram Bighorn with a stock 5.7.

Not when the engine costs more than my truck

Maybe when I hit the Powerball tonight.

Wouldn’t be the first person to do that. Heck I had a built Big Block Olds in a late 70’s Cutlass back in my early 20’s. Motor was worth at least 4x’s the car. Sure was fun and worth every penny.

Sometimes you just gotta be stupid.

That's a different situation. And that Cutlass is worth more now than it was then as well. Even without the engine

I would, but not for that price tag.

I will put $10K max

I was going to post the same.

Yea, I said something at work about the big jackpot and got the comment about wasting money. I said "Yea, I heard that's what the last guy that hit the billion dollar ticket said, 'Dang, I wish I didn't waste that two dollars last week.'. Yea, that's what he said." I just got the blank stare.

Welp I'm still poor Another chance this Saturday.

Yea. Damn, I wish I didn't waste that two dollars!

Somebody will get one and not even blink twice about the price, just for the pure reason to brag they have one!!!
Boys and their toys! LOL

To me that cost is unfathomable. Don't get me wrong, someone will in fact buy them. If they make it into a Ram, who knows. Maybe Chargers, Challengers, maybe a retro-mod?

For perspective, we are big offshore fishermen and own a 36' express with twin diesels. As it's known, marine diesels are some of the most expensive engines in the world. We, just out of curiosity, priced out a re-power. Total cost, installed, was $130,000 for 2 motors. That's pull the old out, re-wire, plumb fuel, match trans, etc. 600 hp Cummins marine. Those engines, were slightly less than $55,000. Oh and long story short, we ended up NOT re-powering after seeing that figure.

I think part of the cost is the DSR name attached to it.

For sure, but that's still a very big figure. $20-30k? Still high but within the realm of reason.

You said early 20's and I immediately got confused because I was thinking 1920's

I’m not quite that old but some days I sure feel like it.

That would be sweet, but think I'd go the wrecked hellcat route. Some guy on yt pulled one out of a charger and put it in his 90s era Dakota. Imagine that was a bit of a handful lol
