• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

If you had....



Tubular engine cradle.

SFC's.

lower springs but higher spring rate.. custom LCA's to match as well as rear pieces.


That'd eat 2 grand at least.

2500 on a built tranny.

XPZ and S4 iron heads.

Adapt some bilstein B8's or something equally dumb....

Then wheels and tires.

At the very least, PF01's in 18x8 with 245/45R18 PS2's....

Oh the PS2's....


****ing ballin'...........
 


id swap my catfish bumpers for some gt bumpers , tint the windows, lower it, paint it, and those mustang lookin rims. bullet? or something. thn if i had some left over cash it would go to the engine. im more into looks as you can see..
 
Now that I realized it I never said what i'd do to my own car.
8K in the GP? It would never happen.

EDIT: I have came to the conclusion i'd buy me a NICE NICE LS1/T56 car. 2000 or later Camaro or T/A so it has steering wheel controls(T/A had steering controls since 93) and also the LS6 intake. Would have to have power everything, leather, and ttops. I'd probably spend all 8 grand on just the car but it would be really nice and it would satisfy me.

Keep GTP as an all year DD and do the headers that are sitting in the closet and do a homeade intake, get it tuned and call it a day.

300RWHP car for the summer when it's nice out.
200ish FWHP DD all year round to help keep the everyday wear and tear off of the LS1 car. I think I win.

Either that or I'd spend it on the white car.
Get a full L32. 1 grand?
Cam/springs etc. Another grand?
Get heads ported. Another grand?
Intercooler. Another grand?
Get a Cobra M112, strip it of the rotors. Sell the housing since it wouldn't be needed. Do an M112 hybrid. Figure another grand??
T56 swap. 2 grand?
Misc crap for whatever and a tune. yet another grand?
No money left and shatter the rearend. WIN :D
