One that will last until long after your car is gone? I am baffled by you people. We had also discussed casting hard to find parts in carbide, steel and aluminum but at this point I think you guys would rather find a free twig and widdle shoddy pieces yourselves.
Not very gracious of you to come back in here and chastise us because we do not want your potential product. You came in asking for honesty in the mindset of "market research", and honesty you got. The members here became successful by making wise choices. In the case of your projected retail price, it is clearly not a wise choice on their part. Finally, we do not view these cars as investments, we view them as fun toys to drive whenever we can.
