Does that mean every will produce a carbon copy, no, but they may take cues, like no c-hubs or infinetly adjustable rear toe.

As far as price goes, its scary that people are even willing to drop that kind of cash on a chassis to start with. We are paying almost the same price for kits now as we were $10 years ago. Very little inflation. But the awesomatix changes that. If it is selling, and it is, other manufacturers take notice and start pushing the envelope on price point with each kit they release. Just wait, I bet in 2-3 years $500-$600 will will be the base line for race level kits. And they will all have features that are now present on the awesometix.
Valid point.
