  2. What’s the typical cost to build one of those trailered 9 second cars? Not counting maintenance, constant repairs, fuel, etc? The Plaid has a warranty, can be a daily driver and can be resold without much depreciation.

  3. Just think of all the time spent modifying their vehicles money they spend on them, also the separate expense for hauling the race cars to the track and still get beat by a vehicle that could be used daily. Deep down inside it really irks them badly but they put a good face.
