What a beauty, but really that much?

It seems a bit high to me but, without knowing how much Dennis charged for the install, I can only compare it to my SPF coupe which has a Roush aluminim 427 with 8 stack digital fuel injection (DFI), a lot of sorting out and improvements including removeable tranny cross brace, reworked seats and leather tunnel, power windows, remote door and hatch latches all around, stereo, undertray, etc., etc. I did my own install and sorting out so all I have are material costs which came to around $100,000 excluding sales taxes. The aluminum 427 and DFI add about $15,000 to the sales price of a basic Roush engine (candidly well worth it if you're going to keep the car and spread the cost out over the years you intend to own it and you won't end up saying "I wish I got the 427" and /or "DFI"). That said, the material cost alone for a SPF coupe with a basic engine package is about $85,000. Assuming install is $10,000 and however much more to sort out (and, yes, there is a fair amount of sorting out), I would figure a basic sorted out coupe to cost under $100,000 excluding taxes.
