Whatever "ready to race car" you could buy would easily cost at least cost double to build assuming it is a quality piece. Just my 2 cents
Some of us cant come up with 30000.00 when we want to buy a car.Find it easier to spend 500. at a time and find it enjoyable to build the car themselves. I have built 5 cars and never spent close to what most want for there ready to run cars. My 2cents.
