Wow. Does an Icebox really cost that much? I really think you can get them quite a bit cheaper if you keep your eyes open. I swear, I don't remember paying anything close to that.
Please keep in mind that my car was put together with the specific goal of:[list:044b11ea05]
(1)Maintaining on-street tractability and good feel on the street, and
(2)Giving me a car to use on the track that would account for my driving style and experience level, and keep me from getting caught off the cam in a corner.[/list:u:044b11ea05]
I am absolutely positive that there's an easy five or more horsepower in there, if they were going for peak HP.
In my case, it would've been a mistake to go for peak HP, so (forgive me) I think this skews your dollars per horsepower figgers a little bit.
