The KBB value on the S4 is $6,500. And he had a cage, and I'm sure a tune, and Nitto NT01's. I didn't see the CTR.
Just sayin', if speed/dollar is the issue, the CTR is great, but still murdered by competitive cars in the class. Again, don't get me wrong. Somebody wants to hand me one, I'm in.

It's not really fair to compare used vs new when talking about money spent.
I think most enthusiasts know if they want, they can buy a used car and dump a bunch of money in it and have it perform as well or better than new car..........around a track.
But you lose a lot of other advantages by doing so.
I could build a really fast Fox-body Mustang for less than $20k........but I'd also be driving a car designed in the early-80s, off a platform designed in the 70s that wouldn't have any modern conveniences.
