like i said:
yes it is a bit high but the car plus aftermarlet parts alone add up over that amount
yes boosted ist gens 3,000 lets see $500 for a beat up shell and 300 for s srt turbo kit on a 2.0 motor with a few supporting mods whoopie, this is a good condition ACR, with mint tranny, a custom fully welded, and custom sheetmetal rear firewall painted to match the car (here alone $1,000), m/t slicks on rims (here $500), summit racing battery box and moroso switch ( $90), plastic racing seats covers and harnesses ($275), b & m short shifter, hurst handle ( $150), gauges total ( $300), eibach springs ( $300), aftermarket sunroof ($200),msd dis 2 and tach adaptor ($200) thats not everything and you looking at a little over $3,000 not including the car thats just the aftermarket stuff. go ahead and buy used parts from the .org all you will do if run into problems all my stuff is almost brand new. im already at 3K in aftermaret parts on the shell i havent even started what i have for the motor, i cant help im not cheap and dont want to cut any corners when building a car that is going to have the potential to be verry fast...if something happens i want to be safe and not truse the neon restraint system or cheesy 4mph impact bumpers...anyway like i said the price is high, after the motor is done i have a little over 7K into a 97 neon which i will never get back unless i part it out which is why im starting with the shell
