You do understand that companies are out to make a profit, and that the type of car you're proposing would only be desired by maybe 1% of the potential customers for the car?

Might as well go buy a car from a junk yard if you want cheap.

I'm not looking to buy a kit car. I would venture to guess that the majority of owners who are going to customize/tune the car aren't looking to replace every single piece in it.

Who said he's going to replace them? Believe it or not, enthusiasts are the MINORITY in the world of automotive consumers and many people, including myself, will probably leave this car just as they bought it.

Which is what i was saying! All the parts I listed are the basics parts that are easy to replace.
Just because they're easy to replace doesn't mean I or anyone else wants to spend the time or money doing it when the factory version is just fine.

I give you credit for spelling brakes correctly. The rest is pretty retarded. Most people don't want to replace everything two days after buying a car. Very few people would buy what you propose.

Great argument, just because we don't want something means we don't know anything about it.
