I assume that's an opinion and not fact. How do you know that it takes twice as long? The GT40 is a more complicated roller to build, as I said above, I just don't think it's $53,000 more expensive to build a roller.

However, Rick (Mark IV) knows the production schedules of a Cobra and GT40 roller, but labor in South Africa isn't the same as UAW. There's more materials, but RCR can build a roller for $42,000 in Michigan. The SPF GT40 is a better GT40, and comes with better parts, but is it $60,000 better?
