I may get flamed for this one, but having seen the results of a couple
of the 2B conversions, I don't think the quality of their conversions is
up to the $8500 price tag they are asking.  (Disclaimer: I've seen two
of their 10vt conversions; never laid eyes on a 20vt conversion)

To address the second comment, yes, there is at least one person on the
list (I know of one other car, but I don't think he's $ubScribed) who
has installed an MC-1 into a Coupe GT.  And my total cash outlay was
less than half of 2B's going price.

And for the record, my wife loves the car.  I've been informed that we
are never selling the turbo GT regardless of the offer!  (Anybody want
to make me an offer and test her resolve?  <grin>)
