I agree with that 60K-75K is not hard to see but the whole topic of this thread 125-140K! https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

60-75K rolling. Let’s call it 65K 65K rolling 45K-50K engine (aluminum block Oakley blower motor) 10K for trans, converter and headers 5K misc plumbing and such as starter, water pump, etc. That’s 125-130K | |||

This^^^ and that’s the low side of a top shelf roller. The issue here is most replying here are clueless to what a top shelf turnkey dragster costs from every major builder. | |||
|
DRR Sportsman |
Mostly because they don’t realize how much more expensive the parts have gotten in the last year and a half | |||
|
DRR Elite |
Everything is more expensive but the parts aren't 25% more no mind 50% | |||

Some parts I purchased a year and a half ago or less and where they are now Biondo elite 625 for 615: now 675 (10 percent) Elite outlaw carbon electric shifter with solenoid for 475: now 680 (45 percent) Elite mega panel for 508, now 744 (45 percent) Weld deltas: 6100 for 2, now 8500 (40 percent) Mcamis carbon fiber wheel tubs for 760, now 925 (20 percent) Drive shaft enclosure kit automatic for 450, now 595 (30 percent) 4x8 carbon sheet for 475, now 525 Adjustable steering column kit HD for 525, now 775 (45 percent) Blank motor plate for 100, now 130 (30 percent) Unwelded chassis kit 2795, now 3150 on site but you have to call for availability and possible price increase | |||

Everyone is missing that Phil Oakley's 2021 house car is for sale right now. 1 year older, same engine builder with a way faster engine, but 95k for his (oh yeah its painted) while the new mullis painted is 140k (45k more) That new Mullis can be turned up to go fast, but its not going to go 3.60's. Not to mention any driver is going to step right into Phil's car and immediately have the chassis setup to go fast. No wrench turning required. | |||

Doesn’t matter what Phil is asking for his used car. You started this thread questioning the legitimacy of the price of this new top of the line car and it’s price is spot on no mind it’s available NOW! | |||

Gotta agree with Ed here. I’m not saying there aren’t better deals out there, I’m just saying these cars have gone way up in price in a years time to build. More people will realize how much more expensive new builds are and how long wait lists on new builds are and you will see an increase in price of used cars to follow | |||
|
DRR Sportsman |
I still don't see how that price can be rationalized Ed. What's the difference between the 140k car with 6 runs on it and Oakley's 50 run 95k car? Other than the obvious answer of a whopping 44 runs LOL! | |||

I get strange, Weld, and XRP products at cost. | |||

My post was simply just to show what the price is to get a racetech now. I was not comparing it to the top dragster, just giving people reference. That being said, yes, I am doing the majority of the work myself because I can and don't feel like paying someone to do it for me. | |||
|
DRR Elite |
then you can't compare yours to a top shelf turnkey car. | |||

The backlog on custom stackers from major builders is 1-2 years. And expensive. | |||
|
DRR Sportsman |
Trailers have jumped 20-30% as well it seems | |||
|
DRR Elite |
For the difference in price, I am interested in where the big competitive advantage for brand new pipe comes from. Have the dragster designs changed that greatly in the last say, 10 years? Is engine, delay box or electronic technology quickly improving? Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

Labor $340.00??? Got illegal immigrants doing the labor for $1.49 hr??? Burt I'm So Proud To Be An American And Not A Democrat... | |||

He's a kid, talking out of his ass, same as before and Racetech wasn't even on his radar a year ago. https://drr.infopop.cc/eve/foru...647017696#3647017696 https://www.facebook.com/vince.kaiser.3 Right now he's got nothing but a quote for a stage 1 car which is a very long way from a race ready, turnkey car no mind no comparison to the car being discussed in this thread. | |||

There is Dan Page 285" roller in sale section for 15k. Pretty sure you can finish out for lo less than 110k. America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||

what does an old beat up alcohol car have to do with this brand new, top shelf, turnkey, top dragster? Answer...NOTHING. Your reply is just a feeble attempt to showcase a car you are trying to sell. | |||
