To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from.
My guess would be around 15,000? Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) the reality of these numbers make me realize i will never be able to afford one today, and the one that was done pretty well a few years ago that i could have bought for $25k now looks like the that deal i will regret not taking advantage of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . i will just have to enjoy what i have, all 90hp of it lol. 90hp is plenty of fun. Especially with a tight suspension and good tires. You could also build a 1911cc and get close to the 100-110hp of an original 2.0 /6, with less weight, for around $3K. That's what I did after I priced it all out. I had a good-bones '70 914 I was going to do a conversion on, but to me it didn't pencil out. It may not be fast off the line but I guarantee you I can break the posted speed limit with my 1911. Easy. Just to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) but if I was looking at spending nearly $100K on a mid-engine car, it'd be a Ferrari 328GTS. |
