$404 per HP? I'd rather drive a Mustang 302 More like $135 per HP.

100K for a race car. Sounds fair to me.

Thumbs up Re: Ford Focus ST-R 249hp oem race car

This is a Grand am- R Race car this is for serious drivers, Not your street car look closer at it. I understand that this type of car can cost uo to 200,00o and most teams have 2 or 3 and they buy a off the lot car and then build it TO grand am -r spec'S. i THINK FORD HAS DONE SOMETHING GREAT HERE A RACE CAR THAT YOU ORDER AND TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO TRACK.

I agree completely. Building a competitive race car ain't cheap, and there are plenty of pure bred race cars making far less HP than many street cars.

Yes, T, I'll give you that. But, for $100K, I'd make a different decision. ZR-1. CTS-V.

Padded seats would go a long way for me. Sorry, bud!

Exactly! And how many people actually WANT to purchase a track car "off the shelf"? If you like the idea, that's cool. I'm just saying.

Ford should "focus" on adding more SVT models to the street car lineup.

Good luck converting either one of those into a Grand Am -r car for 98,000 dollars
