I get the point you make and it's a good one. Yenko built a reputation for being the go-to place for go-fast goodies by offering performance parts, as well as modifying your vehicle for you at the dealership.
Yenko ordered Camaros from the factory and modified them in various ways into high performance cars. Hennessey does the same thing.
The Exorcist would blow the doors off most or all original Yenkos.

The difference with the Exorcist and Yenko is that the Yenko was truly a limited production run with GM parts. While the first 2 years weren't a COPO, the 1969 was a COPO. So you could go to any dealer and buy one. Hopefully.....
While the Exorcist is a highly modified car with non GM parts and with the option to have a limited production run or not. So any person can have an Exorcist with or without a number plate. It's just if that person paid the extra cash for that option.
My bash wasn't directed towards Hennessey but ANY non third party that does this. You can't compare a Yenko to a Hennessey or Lingenfelter or etc built car. They aren't the same.
