A steel tube frame at those speeds they wish to run is really old school and unsafe for sure.

"....unsafe for sure" Why are you sure of that?

According to Ashmore the price of this car w/o engine is $85K. A poster here that is a builder says he can sell one for $50-90K w/o engine. I don't think this car has any carbon fiber in it. I mentioned CF in another post, but I was saying that it didn't have CF. I was questioning the price/value of the car when I said that.
