Personally I don't know if there's a drive I'd enjoy more than a WRC car.

Top Gear, what a crappy way to make a living.

As for that rocket contraption you can have, they don't make a big enough diaper for me to pilot that gizmo.

New is about a half million to $600K for a competitive ride, supposedly a million (US) is possible for full development (i.e. aero, etc.) of a top tier car. Used $100 to $250K for a nice (still "professionally" competitive) piece and down from there as they get old...
