Lew, There are a lot of variables. If I really shop for deals on ebay and my engine builder treats me right, my drive train should be around $20,000. That will be almost 600hp/550tq that will rev to 8000 rpm with a great 5 speed. Some people will spend more for the same stuff. I have a very good relationship with my builder. The car without body work should be around $50,000 with all the race options and none of the "bling" option. This car is being built in the spirit of the 1966 Le Mans cars (only it is a MKI). Those cars were not show cars, just very functional. I really don't care for a lot of the nickle plating or powder coating. Some of that could run the price up a bit. I think when it is all said and done I will be under $80,000. That will give me a car that is truly custom built just for me. I think you could build an RCR for around $68,000 if you built a more "moderate" GT.
