What you have to remember is that when Brandon started this adventure, you 
would have been lucky to find an S2 in Europe for 30 Grand, much less 5-10K 
like they go for now.  That cost, plus importation and federalization would 
have been more than the $60K he probably had into his car......not to 
mention his car was not 'simply'  a 'fake' S2 done to factory spec....he had 
leather (standard in the cq, an option at best in the S2) big brakes, custom 
Kinesis wheels, etc, etc, etc.

Comparing the cost of his car in its current state to that of just importing 
and federalizing a stock S2 from Europe really is apples to oranges IMHO.
