The problem is that, if the manufacturer add 5k to a car, he will sell it 50k more. A full car should be less than 5k for Toyota.

As an example : a modern 2l diesel engine cost around 2000€. That's half the price of the car.
Gasoline engine are a lot cheaper.

That's why, even good cars, are build with shit parts. That's why we have to change everything.

I know mostly engine parts, but I guess the full OEM suspension system will cost maybe 50$ to the manufacturer.

Engineering cost are so high that the cost of parts is mostly nothing in the price payed by the customer.

So we will never get good parts on anything less than McLaren or Porsche RS. (And they will still not be race car quality)


I want some Penske stuff so bad :p
