Lately I've been seeing quite a few of them. They're selling in the $70,000 - $100,000 range. Its a very cool truck. And its faster then every FPV except the Typhoon. And almost every HSV. Looks AWESOME in blue (got passed by a blue one about three weeks ago... OMG how nice... the sound was... wow).
