Look up porsche and ferrari aftermarket parts. Its a 90k car not a civic.
Actually, those prices I quoted are for their Evo parts (35k car). They would make sense on a 90k car. Basic bolt-ons and a tune shouldn't equal 10% of the cars value. My point being...they charge a lot for the Evo and Subie parts, thus they have the resources to make 8 sec GTRs. So in a way, the GTR folks can thank the Evo/Subie/DSM crowd for making this happen.
So if they demand $64,000 for their alpha 10 performance package, how much would this package cost? $90,000? Low volume car, I get it.

Don't want to try to start an argument but you sound pretty bitter that this car, engine, and drivetrain is the new king. Much superior to an EVO/STI and you feel that your 'crowd' of people is the reason why GTR's have reached this level in such a short period of time (Approx 2 years now?).
