I'm buying the Pace comprehensive package using all new parts. The car on the road including engineering should cost approx. $75K complete with trimming and engineering, less paint.

Even though I own a bodyshop and will paint the car myself, I'm allowing $8-10K for paint (my body was one of the early ones and while the body is generally awesome, it still needs some bodywork/shaping before it can receive topcoat).

So...if you budget $85K all up, you should be good.

Cheers,
Sime
can I ask where abouts you are pricing your engine and trans package from ? cheers dean
