Funny how pretty much every aftermarket 5-speed option hovers around the 4-5K mark. Its definitely a conspiracy.
In economics they call this a market correction. One vendor took the risk and proved out that people are willing to pay that much for it, so everyone else inches up to the mark and suddenly the whole market is hanging within a few percentage points of each other.
Same thing happens with tubular upper control arms. You'd be hard pressed to put much more than $15 worth of material in to a basic bushing end tubular control arm, yet mopar versions routinly sell for $200+. Because that is where the market it at. At that price, I've figured out how to adapt the $50 chevy units to my car, plus correct the geometry that normally comes with the $600 price tag.
Nope. You are wrong. Big oil is in on this, as is Al Gore i'm sure. I've called up Jesse Ventura and there will be a show on this later this year. The ba$tards.
