I suppose if you look at it that way. Makes a bit more sense. Still puts it out of my comfortable price range for a parking lot basher.
Mechanically speaking though, where is the added cost in the GTv2e. I don't see anything that groundbreaking different materials and construction wise than the GTP2e.
Or is it as you say the GTP2e/DM1SpecE are just THAT cheap for the class?
