$10,000 Ls1 recipe

If you had $10k to spend on a car like mine, what would you do with it?

It's a 99 convertible, A4, 2.73 gears.

But your sig says this car is for sale?

It depends upon what you want out of the car. Seeing as how its a convertible, I'm sure you'll want it to be an enjoyable street ride that can perform well at the track.

H/C(Stage 2/114 LSA)
Intake(LS6)
LT headers(CATS)
Vigilante 3200(true 3800) stall converter w/ Trans Go shift kit
GM 3.73 gears
Catback w/cutout
Lid(any brand)
Fast Toys Ram Air
Nitto DR's(street)
ET Streets(strip)
Roll cage
CUSTOM TUNING(very important)

With a heavy vert and no weight reduction, I'd say this set-up would be good for high 11's/ low 12's if tuned properly. And still be very streetable.

Well, all three are for sale, and it loks like the other two may sell soon, so then I will likely keep the convertible... My wife likes it a lot.

You then might want to invested in a HP tranny and a better rear end. Then you can put in some power adders

What more do you need on an LS1 to destroy most cars on the road?
