Hey MATE, its a team effort obviously. Did Tetsuya Kawasaki build the HKS GTR on his own? Was it the result of any one person?
Obviously your goals are a little different. You want to go and build you own car then thats fine. Beside the fact that he has infact worked on the car himself in many ways, why pay out someone who has worked so hard to get the whole project together and has achieved so much?
I think its a hell of a thing building a car like this, where it hasn't been done here before, getting some good results, and not being finished yet. Credit where credit is due.
