My car is very very basic and I know what I spent.I have # 10 on mine and even those are almost $30 bucks each ...I don't have any #12 and up but looking at them on the shelf at the speed shop always makes for a GASP! :lol:
A NOS car with two fuel sytems etc...$$$
Look at ANY pro car in any venue, NASCAR upper, SCCA, NHRA, etc., and it's no wonder that new fittings manufacturers are springing up all over ! Fittings and lines can be a VERY large chunk of the overall cost of a race car. And you're a total idiot to use lowbuck offshore crap. Fuel and oil system components are NOT an area you want to scrimp on ! As is an onboard fire suppression system. MORE is better there !
you guys know that...but my point was people that people who don't do this kind of thing don't. That's why some think you are crazy when you tell them how much $$ you got in a car.
