    Woops, maybe I worded this wrong! Car is not mine! It was being prepped for the lucky owner to pick up the next day! I still have my 360! Not as fast, but still purty to me! ....

    Depending on options (passenger seat), somewhere around $290k. The car comes with nothing. And I mean nothing. No Data Acquisition SW, no air wand, no jack safeties, no tires (the tires shipped with car are for transportation only) , no extra set of wheels, not even a cover. You get the cable to hook your laptop up to the data acquisition module and that's it.

    So if I were to buy one and want to track it privately, how much for everything else I'd need?

    It depends on how much your dealer wants to purchase for you. Realistically you would need at least one set of extra wheels at $12k-$14k. Airwand, jack safeties, regulator, hose, nitrogen, 3/4" impact gun and center lock adapter add up to another $3k. Pirelli Slicks retail for up to $2800 a set You also need a VCI handheld computer for $10k, but your dealer should be wiling to pick that up. Then you need to decide if you want to arrive and drive or transport yourself. Arrive and drive with a two person crew can run about $2k a day including transport. Not cheap, but not too fa out of line vs. a Porsche Cup car. The car itself is fairly durable. Engine rebuilds at about 18K miles, fluid changes after each weekend and not much else.

    If you are seriously interested, PM me and I can give you all the details including what you should pay vs. what you will be told things cost.
