  The car in the listing is not race ready. Has to have a specific made roll
cage, HANS , lateral head supports, a funny car cage. Then there is the fire
systems, 5 lb bottle for the motor , 10 pounds for the driver. Then the tires,
400 bucks apiece,  more for the high speed wheels. Motor must be putting out
more than 500 hp to go faster than teh 210 exit speed I posted. Need race
suspension front and rear. Need a parachute, need a funny car drivers suit.
Motor will cost plenty since you will be driving up to 5 miles at almost full
boogie and that takes some reliable parts internally which also must make
power. Plus a lot of small unmentioned items. Need to add weight to the car
because the short wheel base is a bear to drive. I have 18 degrees of caster
so that will require changes in the steering system and suspension.  Now addin
a generous amount of work at 0 bucks or more per hour to make it all happen.
This car was a show car that was "inspired by speed", not that it was a race
car.  It is a show car lacking the goodies to go really fast.  IMHO. YMMV,
lol..
