I would say around $100K-$120K.
They have used motors listed occasionally. The used raised cam Hemi's are usually around $70K-$85K depending on specs and what's included.

One could say drag racing and off-shore racing could be a good way to launder money lol
One of the best stories of drugs and racing is Bill & Don Whittington. These two guys basically show up in France at Le Mans. They offered Kremer Racing $20K each to be a driver of one of their cars. Then they wanted to be the first driver out. The team manager said no. The brothers end up asking how much they wanted for the car. Kremer said $200K, which was more than the car was already being offered for sale for. They whip out the $200K in cash and owned the car before the race. The brothers end up winning their class at Le Mans with their 935 Porsche 911. Then go on to be a winning team in the US and abroad. Buying more cars and other stuff. The story gets more interesting from there. They eventually get busted. They tried to hide cars. Including one they gave a museum. When one of them got out of jail, they sued the museum saying he just loaned them the car. It's a wild story. Search Youtube as I am sure there are a bunch of videos about the two brothers.

...Well that's how it is at that level, nothing is stock except the roof, quarters and usually the wheelbase has be +/- 2 inches stock. Like I said I'm not that much interested in this outlaw 10.5 racing but I appreciate Dave Adkins slugging it out with an "LS" power plant. Even then it's has billet Noonan heads and block, so....
I mean it used to be a gtr, sucks it has a proline motor and not some silly vr based build. I think people are out there making similar numbers on those and there’s probably a weight advantage for a v6 vs 8 in the rules.
Is what it is though. I bet that car still isn’t competitive because that guy sucks.

Odem has tried racing them on the street with his quickest true GTR. They just can't compete. First off, he can never stage the car properly and leave on the light. Then the car just doesn't make the power these other cars make and can use on a good road.
Yea I’ve seen him suck ass. I just know there are others out there with big hp VR based engines. I think he’s just not good at anything.
There was another GTR that has been on the show a few times. Just before one of the races last fall, the guy had the GTR record. It is quick. But he also has issues staging and being consistent. But he has done way better than Odom has done with his true GTR. This new "GTR" is just him trying to stay true to the brand he has. But ya, none of these cars have much to do with the cars they originally were. lol
There was an episode of the MotorTrend show Auto/Biography about this, and how the most current [legal] owner of the car got pranked by his friends for his birthday.
Ya, I have seen a few different tellings of that. They hired actors to play DEA agents, tow truck driver, etc. Poor Bruce Meyer. haha
Not the show you mentioned, but same story by a guy that worked for Bruce Canepa. Who played the prank on Meyer.
And a article about the Whittington's

Not every driver that takes to the grid at the 24 hours of Le Mans is receiving a salary to compete. In fact, a significant proportion of the grid will contribute vast sums of money to secure their place in a team. Doctors, stockbrokers, lawyers and entrepreneurs gather every June to share their com

With this talk of drugs, money, and cars, I'm tempted to go back and watch Cocaine Cowboys (and the follow up).
Was that the east coast tan colored one? I feel like it had carbon panels on it too
Blood on Blood your NMRA friends Carlos Sobrino also crashed his car yesterday at the the No prep event.
Thought these cars had fire suppression systems? Relying on others in a case of a fire is dumb when tech exists.
