I have an ITC Civic for sale right now for $2000. I have seen cages cost this much. I know that the guy I got the car from paid much more than this for his son to race and then it sat for several years. While I agree it is fun to build, and I built my car, it would have been cheaper for me to buy, and I would have been on track a few years earlier. Start adding the cost of parts up and it gets scary fast. Buy those parts for pennies on the dollar and it gets attractive.
