While interesting, that is not exactly indicative of the cost to own and operate a track day car based on a formula 1 chassis. Transport, maintenance, and team salary is VERY expensive.
Also, it's pretty misleading...What straight do F1 cars hit 257 miles per hour?
I agree, but some of the stats shown were related to your post including the cost of an old Jordan or Benetton etc., the cost of an undertray or front wing in case of the eventual "off" and the need to warm the fluids prior to starting the car and the need for at least some crew members for starting the car etc.
This might be useless facts as well, but in race trim the BMWSauber V10 of Montoya hit 22X at Monza. BAR Honda trimmed off their downforce (also a V10 IIRC) and hit 257 mph.
