World of difference in cost to build a .2-.3 under car than a 1.0 under one.
^^ I agree.

I calculated the cost ( including the cost of the car itself) to get my newer model Mustang to run 2 tenths under the K/SA index.
Then I added up all the "good stuff" needed to run 9 tenths under and it doubled the price.
7 tenths doubled the cost
