Mike,
This is great information (albeit depressing for me). As a newbie, I am quite uneducated as to the "extras" that it seems can really add up. While you have spec'd a more aggressive engine than I had in mind, I am still about $30,000 short of where I thought I needed to be. Superformance is in a tough spot. By having their roller (now increased in price) at a premium, they have a smaller market. Ultimately as they (and the others crowding into a small space) produce more, they will be competing with their own product in the re-sale market (which would have the advantage of starting when the ignition is pressed). What will the market be for GT40s of this type in the future? Don't we all wish we knew. The Superformances are so new that they haven't had a chance to hit the resale market in any quantity. Most "kits/continuations" don't appreciate like the cars they are replicating/continuing. For every story of a kit selling at a fantastic premium there are 50 guys in financial ruin from their car lust. I guess I would be happy with the depretiation I would get from a similarly priced GT3 or Turbo
. My wife delivers an empassioned counterpoint
. I guess cars like these aren't bought as investments anyway.....Thanks again for the honest math.
