You'd be looking at a car that can run mid 13 quarters...or at least easy upper 13s and low to mid 5 second 0 - 60 sprints. Bolt ons would put it damn close to today's SS.....all for mid to upper 20K.

Now just imagine the SS weighing in at 3,500 to 3,600 lbs.
If they make a four cylinder the base engine expect to pay a premium for the V-6. I doubt they would improve performance without raising the price.
