my patience/love for the engine swaps is growing thin... can we please have some stock vehicles up in here? is it that they're too easy to set a price on?
I heard RG3 paid TJ handsomely for that payback shot
it's been said before and I'll say it again, when you do a "project" car you should plan on keeping it. Too much for somebody else's project, they lost me at custom wiring harness and also I live where it rains and snows so yeah pretty much pipe price.
If you want to make the entire world despise you and your car, all you need to do is give yourself some buzzing, loud straight pipes. Works every time.
I see your point but would also point out that a limited production car will always sell every example. We're not talking about Chevrolet cavaliers here were they make a shit ton and then have to discount to sell off stock, we're talking about something that gets made to satisfy an existing waiting list.

R&D costs are supposed to be recouped in the improvements they yield for the main parts of your line. Audi for example spends tons on R&D for their racing cars and recoups it in the sales of A4s and Q5s
Good point... they spent 10 years in R&D and by that time the car's performance was dated.
Yeah but the "money is no object" crowd would probably pick a Pagani, Maclaren or a Bugatti... that's the thing with the LFA, it's priced higher than a super car but can't compete with the "money is no object" hyper cars... if money is not a concern then status and performance are the definers and why would you settle…
