After lurking for nearly a year I decided it's time to register...so here I am. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif I have been researching the idea of a GT40 starter kit and have found the following information (please correct me if anything is out of order):
DRB: Body/Chassis - $17,000 + 10% GST (Is this in U.S.$ or AUS$)? If AUS, the U.S. price would be $13,051 at the current exchange.
MDA: Body/Chassis - $15,686 (current U.S.$); w/ aluminum panels - $17,070; w/ alum. & brake lines - $17,532.
Tornado: Basic component Pkg. (LH drive) - $7870; Rolling chassis Pkg. (LH drive) - $12,370.
RF: Basic Pkg. - $10,500 (does it still exist)?; Rolling chassis - $21,500.
Am I missing anyone?
I do not want a turnkey, nor a turnkey minus. I want to build the darn thing and I don't mind the time involved (a 2-5 year project sounds fun to me) nor the cost associated with paying for parts over time. I'd like to get into a GT40 for less than $25-50K upfront and have some fun with it.
Any advice on the mfg.'s above? Pluses and minuses are appreciated.
BTW, I am located in the U.S.
Thanks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
