Today's Yenko will be a good match for the Hell Cat same as the old Baldwins, COPOs and Yenkos were for the Hemi back in the day..

Except that there is nothing "Yenko" about it, it's a SVE product with a licensed Yenko label on it. Marketing, gotta love it.

It does look like a cool car though.......

Just the name. It reminds me of the "new" Indian motorcycle.. What's next, a 21st century, Baldwin Motion?

If someone will pay a premium for that label on there vehicle, no matter who makes it, then probably.

I will pay a premium for RWHP, not labels. I'd like that FWHP a lot better in a plain vanilla Corvette than with all the cute labels. However, that's just me.

Good looking car, but the Yenko name is bogus. Some traditions can't be licensed. The name attached to the Vette should have gone away with Don.
