That price breakdown was.........interesting. There are plenty of supporting mods that are contained in the implied tasks during the build. Otherwise you will have a lot of fail when attempting to outperform the supercars.
Don't get me wrong.....you can compete with them, but you really gotta pay to play. I used to chase a F360 Challenge around when I was stationed in Italy in my CA powered S13 Fastback. A lot of cars I could hang with, but I was one with my machine. I got smoked bad by a Carrera Turbo in 2006. He came on the Autostrada hitting it hard, so I downshifted and punched it. He just continually walked away from me convincingly. That was the day I went back to the drawing board.
I think I was putting down about 310-ish at the time and had about 22K invested in upgraded parts. Transitional power was my focus over peak power and that allowed me to walk people down or run away from them in a variety of situations. My buddy and I did all the work ourselves at the auto hobbyshop. I also had my share of things that failed or broke during the process from ECUs to Driveline items.
Would I do it again? Yup! Except this time, it's in a Z and not an S13.
