I understand that people will buy their own PT if they are serious about racing, and racing does cost lost of muuuulaaaa. I forked up 95 to get one myself.

But the point many of you are making are very legitimate. There is not $90 dollars of material and labor in there, not even 80 or 60 or 50. Its a small printer circuit board, with wires, and plastic cover. Come on!!! Off the top of my head you can get a motherboard for your PC, or a skateboard, or a boom box, or a nice cell phone or a kids bike. It doesn't add up
Its such a monopoly.
