No ****!! That is a steal for that kind of performance. So, anyone know if you can get them in the USA. Don't know if they'd pass our crash standards, but I figure they can't be any different than the VW kit cars, cept a little faster!

Definately worth it. Along the same lines as an Elise but much much faster.
I bet you could get it registered in the states, but the hard part is getting it here.
