No offense intended here to anyone, but I'm just wondering this morning...
Why is the TT system for the GT so expensive? Seems to me, it is fairly easy to install, parts involved can't be much more than any other TT system (for a Mustang for instance) and the reflash for the ECM should also be pretty straight forward. I'd think for about $10K or so, you could build up a very nice TT system for the GT, particularly since we already have the i'-cooler in place.
Have TT development costs been that high? Are so few owners doing the conversion and that's keeping the prices up there? Is this just another example of the GT tax? maybe it's just the rarity of the car and potential customers for the system...and economy of scale type thing (or lack there of), or Am I just a tight ass? (yes)
and it's not just the TT systems, it's parts for the whole car in general. The only thing I've found reasonable in cost so far has been the oil filter.
I guess it kinda' like having surgery, when you're going under the knife, you don't look for the cheapest price... and therefore, when you're modding a $150K car, a few extra bucks for the expertise of a Jason Heffner or the Stage 6 boys is a small price to pay for peace of mind when you step on the go pedal.
Anyway, I'd like to hear some thoughts from y'all on this topic.
