I LOL'd... that is how much it SHOULD cost ($800-$1k), but we all know it will cost $1,100-$1,400, which is moronic. The price is what killed the STi-R, not the performance... Belscort is just too stupid to understand that... and so it shall kill the STi-R PLUS eventually as well.
Simple math says 9500ci ($1,600) minus ZR4 Shifters ($450) equals STi-R Plus ($1,150).
Beltronics will probably make that an even $1200 but since the 9500ci has always been overpriced (by any measure of combined functions) I'd really like to see Bel bring this RD within reach of more customers and make the $$$ on higher volume sales. So yep, I think it would make more money for Escort priced at $800 but fear the Execs (who don't know the price of a loaf of bread) will not go any lower than $1k for sure.
