I know we can probably get the body "accurate", but the frame would be our EVO 5 frame. In the cockpit the dash layout is no problem, but you would have the dropped floor pan and the tilton pedals. In other words, the body, wheels, tires and all of the other visual parts we can make look accurate. The mechanical and frame pieces would be different however. We can come in less than ERA if we use our current panels and frame. The changes to the suspension for the knock-offs is minimal. We've already done a quick cost analysis and we can come in around $30,000 for a base Turnkey minus. I am seriously considering a "Show & Tell" FIA car, but we just started finishing our EVO 5 display car and have been dumping money in shows and our "40" project (More on that in September).
