Thanks guys. Assuming that is what it takes to make a competitive car it doesn't seem to bad at all. I have the car line up with a bad tranny for $500.

Already have a Bilstein PSS9 system that may come off my VR6 for the racer
Found the ground crontrl camber plates for $350
Think I can pick up the shine rear bar for $200
Wheels are easy and there seem to be a variety of tire choices
Race seat won't be too bad 300-600
The cage will probably be the most important / expensive item

Two question marks are does everyone run a firesystem and fuel cells?
