Even if all the parts were available you could not replicate this model for anything like the (low) price they are selling it.

Yep, the forged magnesium wheels, coilovers, carbon roof, one piece seats, brake kit, mechanical LSD, gearbox, etc cost a shitload of money. Hell, you are $8k in to just build a semi-competitive STX class auto cross car. People here think you can build a race car for nothing.
