I don't care about pricing from then and now and what you get for it.
But in my opinion, how can I justify spending approx. $11,500 for this...
When I could have this...(diff color though
)
R&D, Mfr costs, and all the rest... (I know-apples and oranges) But what you get for the $$$ isn't even close
and I have to provide the engine for one of them to go fast. hahaha
But they do both provide the same chance of getting run over by inattentive drivers. So there is that.

U.S. Minimum wage in 1983 was $3.35. It's now $7.25.
