Curious as to everyone's thoughts on value here- assuming it's done well and clean.

Not what I would choose for suspension, how do you feel about tuning suspension or writing a $2k+ check to replace them with what you want?

$17k for a car that's gutted, caged, and cooled to your liking makes a bit of sense assuming you agree with how it was done and don't have to do it again but I'd expect more work needs to be done which will likely be the case with 99% of all 'prepared cars' out there. Hence the suggestion to just start with a cheap used one that's closer to stock. But hey, some of the magic of this chassis to me is that I can throw a set of tires in the back and drive it to the track and then drive it to work the next day, if you're set on gutting and caging the thing and trailering it there and back then by all means dive on in.
Lightest one I've heard of is ~2,300 lbs, <2,600 without losing creature comforts is doable (~2750 wet on the scales for a '13 FRS in my experience, first fifty pounds is losing the junk in the trunk) so you're looking at about 250 lbs lighter by gutting by my math.
