No, that's not what I'm saying. The amount of labor that went into my car is a hell of a lot more then 90% of the population is willing to attempt.

agreed, but have you ever looked into the labor needed on a extreme SPL car?

No need for enlightenment... I just think no, an SQ car probably won't cost 2x as an fugly SPL car.

Well since were talkin extreme i believe Scott the owner of Hybrid Audio spent something like 200k and 5 years on his SQ car that he took to one show ever so far. He also got the highest score ever recorded but theres an example of an "extreme" SQ car, whatcha got for SPL?

I've seen Amature, Pro, Ultimate, and Expert SQ car cost anywhere from $10k all the way to 250K+.

At the recent IASCA Canadian Finals, Sound Solution's Hybrid Audio/Arc Audio demo SQ car was on display. IMHO the cost to build that from a retail perspective, it would cost around $75K including electronics.

Well Craig Butler was just saying he already spent more than that on his Astro Van.

Not to mention the 40ft trailer and the GMC topkick he uses for towing it.

It weights 20000+ lbs, the enclosure has more than $30.000 worth of resin, there is no concrete, but resin and sand.

But the pioneer truck has much more on it...
