Based on the stickers all over the car, which are from legitimate racing/autocross/track time series.... I'd say someone poured all the money into it because it was their race car, and they wanted it to go faster.
A lot of racers can relate to that slippery slope. Been there / done that myself.
Perhaps the builder moved on to a different hobby, or a faster car....
