Good point, I do see a certain elegance to more exotic motors.
My math goes:
Lotus Frame = Under 100K (with room to spare)
1200 hp lsx twin turbo motor = Under 100K
Multiply that time 5 to get a mill. Labor is getting damn expensive now-a-days.
Maybe there's some parts I'm not seeing. Are the seat tracks solid platinum?

But that's the thing we don't know the ***** fast. Just cause it makes the power doesn't mean dick. if u don't have the proof that the car can make use of the power then u just have a dyno queen.
Saying a car should do something is one thing.... Actually doing it is another (275 mph)...
