Just thought I should point out the fact that just one good year of driving it will earn back some of that money you spent. Figure how much it will cost to lease, and service a car for one year, especially a cool fast car, and then factor that amount off the cost of the build.
I mean crap, you drive a new car you get value out of it and it depreciates. You get a good year out of your car and you not only prove out how well it runs and work out any bugs, but you make it easier to sell it for less than you put into it.
