But I guess if someone wants to buy one of these, NOW then there's a number.
2nd hand which is sold rebuilt is still over 100. The coyote in the ft5000 for example will be approx 35k complete, 45 maximum to achieve the same power as the supercar engine and won't require track support and rebuilds will be half as often.

On top of that, sourcing the parts to maintain a supercar engine is significantly more than the road donk, and easy enough to do self maintenance with the road engines.
