    I like it too. With that build up $17K is way cheap. The reserve is just shy of $30K, probably closer to reality.

    I have always thought that track cars go for a lower % of cost than street cars and i just don't see huge dollars on the car. Not knocking the car.

    The ad is particularly wordy taking a lot of space to say things like 'two seats...', etc. 4 inches of screen space to tell me what color it is?

    I see a fair amount of cost saving items (lexan windows, fiberglass dash, etc.) which might be great for weight savings but do not, IMHO, justify MORE money. Also curious why anyone would go to E spec w/ a T motor for a race car. Why not go S? Why not go 2.7? What is different about the top end that makes it fast? RS racing configuration?

    I am probaby just showing my ignorance here but it's how the car strikes me. Maybe some nice stuff is not being detailed or i just don't realize i'm looking at high dollar parts.

    With a track car, it's not always the absolute cost of the parts, but the 'sorting' that adds value.

    You really can't understand this until or unless you try building your own track car, and assign some value to your own time. A turnkey race car is worth a big premium to an experienced racer. A 'zero DNF' car is worth an even bigger premium, and a record holder will deliver the best return to seller and buyer.

    BTW, lexan isn't a 'cost reduction' material, especially formed lexan like the rear window.

    No really built to be competive in any particular race class I am aware of. If you can recoup 30-40 % of your money in a "invested" in a race car you are doing OK. If you really want to compete at the front in anything but a spec class in a 911 you are looking well in excess of 100K to build professionally.

    Is that Bruno's car? I think I might have talked to him a while back when I was doing research on colors for my car. Nice guy.
