A few of your premises are flawed. E is currently one of the hottest and most competitive classes in PCA club racing. And guys are spending six figures on building cars to race the class. The Accumoto cars, which there were more than half a dozen last weekend at Sebring, are works of art. I don't remember the field count for the class but go race any national or regional race and you will have E guys to race against.
This is not a 200hp car. He said 215 on the dyno. That's 240-250 at the crank. And it is light. It has a power to weight ratio to compete with cars with 100hp more. Where a Modern car will beat this car is more in the suspension department. No getting around the torsion bar piece of it.
That said, this car is a bargain for a turnkey ready to race E class car. It would need some investment to be at the pointy end of the field. But it's well on its way.
