Skippy Prototype Car ('05-'07): Skippy Components Survey #8 of 8 - COST

[sydude]

Welcome to the New Skippy Car Components Survey #8 of 8, presented by Gerardo and myself. This final week's topic is COST. Let's get right to it.

As with previous solicitations for feedback, lets keep a nice balance of positive and negative comments. Thanks so much!

2007 Skippy Car Survey #8 of 8 - Cost

These questions shall relate to the New Car only – please don’t respond with general race series suggestions.

1. Excepting cost, please list (in order of priority) approximately 3 to 6 of the most important attributes you believe the new car needs to have in order to successfully replace the R/T. Some attribute examples: (please write-in or use any other attributes you value – don’t limit yourself to these):

Safer
Fits Bigger Drivers
Quicker Size Adjustments
Easier to Equalize
Sexier
Easier to Drive
Faster
More Comfortable
New Features & Gadgets
Bigger Gas Tank/Longer Runs

2. Assuming that the New Car will be better than the R/T in all of the areas you indicated were important to you, how much more (%) would you be willing to pay?

3. In regards to additional ‘features’ (Data Acquisition, Digital Dash, Shift Lights, Built-in Radio/Video etc) - do you prefer a low-cost/no-frills car? Or would you prefer to pay more, and get additional features that you’re interested in?

4. What features above and beyond a ‘no-frills’ car are you most interested in? (see Surveys 1-7 for more features)

5. What would you consider to be an acceptable difference (%) in cost between a no-frills car, and the same car with the features that you’re interested in?

6. Assuming that Skippy’s pricing using the New Car will fall within your parameters, would you be interested in racing more, less or the same? If applicable, how much more or less?

7. Finally, what ideas would you suggest to control costs (car related only please)?

This thread will be closed to further replies just before midnight on Monday, December 4th.

Thanks again!
