I wouldn't be so quick to assume that. Could you take something cheap and make it as light and get it to the same lap times for less. Probably. Could you make it as day and day out reliable and abusable, not a chance. The components on that thing and the bits and pieces they did to get it light and make it fast are not cheap or simple. Going as far as composite springs - whoa. CFRP'ing the fenders. the integrated mounts on the roll cage. There's a lot of attention to detail coming direct off a factory race program it appears. That's nothing to sneeze at.
