Is $85k MSRP or is it the pie in the sky price?

 

there are a few others on there for less...so probably a BS price...in any case, too much for me to spend on something with a rollcage.

 

Love the wheels but $85K? Sure, it's a race car but I'm pretty sure I'd grab a 996 or 993 Porsche race car for that kind of money. Just as reliable (maybe more so) and way more parts and support. Heck - a Vette racecar would be a better idea, I'm pretty sure.

 

I love this car, but it's just priced wrong IMO. Used Elises are at a good price now in the $35k range, and with a bit of work you can save yourself the $50k premium. I don't see the point in paying so much for a fairly slow(but fun!) car that is really only useable on a track.

 

Awesome, but it's not street legal.

 

slow? 243 hp and 0-60 in under 4 secs, seems pretty fast to me?

 

On a more wide open track it will easily be dusted by other cars in the same price range that can also be driven daily.

 

You don't know what your talking about..... Do you?

 

Last I checked, toyota parts were easy to came by.
