I don't know race cars at all but that seems like a good deal. I wouldn't want the taxes for pulling that much out of my retirement account.

That is the last thing I would buy. Hell, I'd buy a used M5 or AMG XX before I'd buy that! I just thought it was cool they used the Aprilia V4 motor in it and at ~850 lbs with 200 Hp, that thing would be a hoot I bet. The drive system is pretty slick too.

Locost 7.....1050lbs 150 horsepower Yamaha R1 engine, it was a hoot, unless you had to deal with the drone at 65mph for any long distance. All for a tenth the priced, 6500 and a lot of work.

This is on my actual bucket list. R1 cross plane lowcost. I'm a few years away from starting but would love to pick your brain on the build.
