How much would it cost to get both of these fantastic aerobatic aircraft?

a Pitts Special (S-2B or something, not sure) costs 50 000euro/USD. but i think after 2000 hours, you have to buy a new engine which costs about 25 000euro/USD so...quite expensive if you ask me.  ;)
Raw power...the J-58.

I think your right I will keep saving my money and I am looking to get a minipitts I hope to find some pitts plans and build a smaller version of the pits S2B it will be 2 place and weigh only 1236 punds and it will fit in the sports pilots catogory the engine will be a C-85 and I will have alot less money into it I should have between 20,000 and 25,000 into it what do you think would that be cool or what have my own pitts S2B in a sport pilot approved and still be fully aerobatic.

I got a lesson in the S2C from a dealer and he said the S2C cost 180,000 USD.
