The market is BEGGING....

DJ... its $13k for a base kit. and the price of fox bodies is out of control

You have not been following factory five have you? Check our their mid-engine roadster concept that they started designing this past year and have already built up all the chassis, just need a "shell" design. WRX-based running gear, and rwd and less than 2000lbs, AND less than $10k.

The factory five kit is now $13k for a base kit, but now acceepts 87-2002 donors, so no worry about running out of parts :thumbup: Trust me ive been doing a lot of research about Factory Fives, even ordered their "order" kit. I simply do not have the space and time, and certainly not the money while im saving for a house.

And Evan, yes I understand what your saying...but they do have to have profit, and they have tons of stakeholders, and they shareholders are the owners who of course dont want it to fail. Theyve already sold over 8000 Cobra kits, shit thats as many Eclipse GSXs were built from 95-99.

Yeah but a kit car has very different requirements and different regulations to meet than a production car. They don't have to meet the same emissions or safety regulations, not to mention that they don't have to meet the same bar of build quality or reliability that a production car does. Then there's the fact that all of the labor needed to assembly the car is done by you, which is a huge part of the cost right there. Selling a kit car simply cannot be reasonably compared to building and selling a street car. Not the same league, not the same sport.
