Creating a new class(or in this case possibly reviving an old one) who ever gets in on the ground floor of the class or particular combination has an advantage and also gets sucked into spending the money little by little over the year(death by 1,000cuts) instead of the huge cost to build one from scratch with all the tricks of the trade.
Speed cost money, How fast do you want to go? Faster then the other person in the other lane? You better have talent(driving,building,thinking) and/or money.
Everyone wants cheap, a lot of people want heads-up. These two items do not mix and emulsify.
Cheap, fast or safe. Pick 2
