I understand where you're coming from, but as a producer you need to understand that the volume associated is very low. The amount of corvettes sold is insane, that engine platform is the same across many corvettes. The way to design on that is different. The process alone is different.

Comparing a corvette to a M3/4 isn't even a fair comparison in my opinion.

When stuff breaks on a m3/4 my company is liable, so everything has to be taken into account. The time it took to be able to develop a product, tools necessary, R&D time, actually making the product, the risk, offering support, products that might be faulty. The list is really long.

My company also doesn't have any interest in selling thousands, id rather sell 100 and know all 100 buyers are 100% happy.
