"but when some people are cuttin checks to Speedsource for $30-40k on top of that $600 it kinda throws the economical part of IT out the window as well !!!!!"

There is a subtle but very important distinction at work here, Fred. The philosophy of IT is to offer a place where you CAN run a "low cost" "inexpensive" car - but you don't HAVE to. [/b]

EXACTLY! And you CAN do that...! By getting an RX-7! Or a ITA RX-7, or an ITS Z car, or nearly any ITB car, and so on.

The idea, is to try and ensure that the expensive choices aren't forced on competitors by clasifying them as overdogs.
