wow I stand corrected, $500K.

I went back and read Randy Pobst's impressions last year on it, sounds like it's not really a car you want to push to the limits on 84 (or any public road).

On handling...The chassis balance is different all the time. You have a little slow turn-in, but if you wait a little too long, you get big oversteer and then you get some understeer again. It's just constantly changing from understeer to oversteer to understeer to oversteer. Difficult car to drive fast, for sure. It's not a car that reward aggression -- only on the way off -- partially because it's so powerful. It's a car that needs to be driven smoothly, in control, not hung on the ragged edge.
