Previously had an Evo 8 and mods on that were easily half the price of xr6 T mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come from a Late model camira background. I could mod my vl turbo into the 10's for next to Fark all! Reliably also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: it's entirely possible that the companies that make XR6T parts are just deliberately more greedy... but I doubt that's the only reason.

If you can make and sell parts in thousands rather than dozens, you can make your margins a lot tighter and still make a decent buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzah Member 26 Member For: 8y 5m 29d Posted 13/09/16 11:54 AM Author Share Posted 13/09/16 11:54 AM I doubt there's very much R&D involved in making a small tray to hold a battery and then selling it for $400-500. Any way we are getting off topic wasn't looking for an argument was just stating the big price difference between the two I could make the same statement about Subaru's being more expensive to mod then the Evo and they have an even bigger market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
