Let’s just say more than enough so that it isn’t on jackstands anymore, arrrgh

Atleast there is one good thing to all the money I have invested, it was all paid in cash so I don’t have any crazy amounts of debt.  
phwww  
Thats also probably why I can’t keep the car on the road for more than a few days, stupid torque breaks everything stock, one after the other…and so on and so on and so on…

that would be even worse, no car and in debt, OUCH

But no really my Street Car just has tints, 160 bucks yo

This got me thinking, here’s what it would cost to reproduce mine, the way I would do it; doing some stuff myself and farming out what I couldn’t. Seems like a lot of $$$, but since it would cost at least 5X as much to get the same kind of performance from a factory, amybe it’s not.

- Short block $5,000
- Valvetrain $1,000
- Heads $2,500
- Intake/TB/SC installation $1,000
- Blower $2,500
- Exhaust system $2,000
- Water injection $500
- Nitrous system $1,000
- Ignition/Tuning $2,000
- Fuel system $2,000
- Clutch $1,000
- Tranny upgrades/shifter $2,000
- Driveshaft $350
- Rear end $2,500
- Wheels/Tires $1,500
- Brakes $1,000
- Suspension upgrades $1,000
- Cage $1,000
- Appearance $2,500

That totals ~$32,500. I am sure I left stuff out though. And I did not get there by a direct route. Still, I bought the car new for $25,000, add $32,500and it’s still below $60,000. The current price/erformance leader is the Z06, that would cost more and I’d rather have what I got.
