Generally true, but patently false for CM and FM -- and I'll go further
out on that limb and say that CM and FM are probably the least
expensive places to run in the long term. Even including the fact that
you have to tow.
As for SP being inexpensive, I suspect you haven't priced out a proper
no-excuses fuel injection/intake/ignition system for Street Prepared,
especially including the cost of development and tuning. That was a
major factor in why I got out of Street Prepared and into CM.
