Completely different engineering (ZT transaxles are hydrostatic), but yea, it's nuts they cost as much as a car.

Far, far less material, far less structure, no safety engineering (well, not like cars anyway), and frankly pretty low quality structural design and manufacturing. My family is always welding something back on, or replacing a part.

What the hell are they charging for?
