Let's say you have a wreck after you've installed this kit.

It'd be like owning a DeLorean. No bondo; you have to replace entire body panels.

If they ever did an entire body in Ti, I might be swayed.

C-west did a full-carbon s2k (among other things) and weight savings was around 650+lbs. It wasn't even as extensive as this ASM one, so weight savings on this kit is pretty substantial.

still a ridiculous purchase for an individual, but for race teams where every tenth second matters and splits 1st and 2nd splace, is 50k too much?

they price it so high because they expect no one to buy it. that's it... they don't 'want' to sell a lot of kits.

Have you ever thought that they don't care if they don't sell any?
