The amount of money doesn't necessarily make or break a car. (BTW: your car looks fast standing still. Great Paint job!) I would expect a lot more out of a $100,000 build than a $20,000 build. Guys who can put a great car together for $20K are awesome. I wish I could say all I had spent on my cars was $20k a piece.

I do think there is a difference on whether a car of this type is built to handle or built to look like it handles though, and putting one on a course or track to verify with a stopwatch is a sure and safe way to find out.
That's exactly what I'm talking about!

Thanks again,

Ty
