i wasn't trying to be funny was just curious as to what people consider alot on a comp car really. by the time you have done axles, diffs, tyres and rims you have already spent a fair whack. i expect most comp vehicles are around the 10k mark for retail prices.
i agree the vehicles you list have certainly had alot more spent on them.
i agree with your point entirely, looks at Treeblokes truck, if it hadn't broken a steering box on the last lap their result would of probably put them in front of the driving god.
Paul - what team no were you guys?
