For those interested in acquiring a competitive No Prep Kings car, Brody Melton's 2014 Camaro is a tempting proposition. Priced at $135,000, it represents a significant value in the world of professional drag racing. When compared to the cost of building a brand-new No Prep Kings car from scratch, which can easily range from $250,000 to $300,000 for the chassis alone, Brody's asking price seems like a bargain. Additionally, his Camaro comes equipped with a Roots blown 521 cubic inch Brad-based Hemi, a powerhouse engine that can hold its own on the No Prep Kings circuit. With the potential to install a screw blower, this car could become even faster, making it an enticing opportunity for aspiring racers looking to enter the Future Class of No Prep Kings world.
