Barton/ Wolkwitz COPO for 150K

I`m sure that COPO is a parts eater, and would cost plenty to campaign.
My point is ,who is buying that car? A select few could afford it.
Much cheaper than a Pro Stocker, and the factory is already in.
Seems like a logical choice...
Your thoughts?

You are exactly right factory Showdown FS/XX is already the new Pro/Stock it now has Pro drivers and factory supported cars. A new Copo is 125 grand and it requires another 75 grand to get ready to be able to qualify and it is only in 7 races waiting to see if they expand it next season to kill off Pro/stock. It is now what pro/stock was when it started.
