2nd try? On the cheap friendly comp?

So are we comparing $ to ET? Or just overall cost? Seems like it's just completely subjective with no clear formula to gauge the success of an entry.

I know of a parts car I could buy for $400, and sell $1000 worth of parts from it. Is that allowed to start with a car that cost -$600? I used to be the king of free parts....I could do it here if it's allowed lol.

$ rules, E.T. is nice. If you know of a car for 400, and you can sell 1000k off of it, do you really need this race to make this decision....????? LOL ! I'm now thinking you are trying to find a loop holes in the rules. If this is truly the case, go play someplace else. Again, it has already been discussed, that if your Dad "gives" you a 500 dollar induction system because your "his son", then you can't say there is no cost. Also, this is for fun, you don't win anything, and you are not going to even be the "king of FABO"! lol..
