Oliver, You make some good points. I don't, however, think that the RCR market price has been established. They don't have any cars done! SPF and ERA have set the bar high due to the quality of their cobra's. It is a little bit of a gamble to jump in with a manufacturer that doesn't even have 1 car finished, but sometimes that is the best value. The completeness of the RCR is not there compared to the others, yet. But a completed finished car could be better or worse than ERA, SPF, CAV and the Rouring Forties. You are right, it does depend on the builder at this point. I think Fran's price reflects all of these issues. When the kit gets fully sorted out and all the pieces are given to the buyer along with a super build manual, this kit will cost as much as the others. At that point the kit price will surely increase. After all, it is not what you paid for it that establishes the price, but the the quality of the car.
