Article says $275,000 plus an additional $100,000 for a required spare parts package; so if you got about $400,000 kicking around you're all set! ;) :lol:

considering its a racecar, id say that isnt too bad, would cost well over a million to build a car of that caliber.

I wouldnt say a million to build, however corprate research and development is priceless.

Well IMO when building a race carr, research and development is part of the cost.

that's sweet. I saw one of those being built last year at Pratt and Miller. well, it was only a frame/cage when I saw it... and they had a bumper sitting around.

I wonder if the retail ones are all built at Pratt and Miller like the C6-R's and CTS-V-R's?
