Today I was thinking about how much I've spent on my car, and it's actually depressing! Seriously, I've thrown thousands into it and I'm sure people here have spent tons more. Anyways, here's my list...in order:

Flowmasters-350
SLP CAI-179
Supertact- 100
Cowl induction hood- 430 (plus 70 shipping)
Painting hood- 250
Headers- 739
Welding and finishing up header install cuz I'm inept- 600
Cutout (including weld) 75
Air Foil- 15
Cam- 500
Install of cam- around a grand (not done yet)
Parts that got f&*^ed up because of intake leak- 650

So thats 4858....give or take a few. What's your list?

 

i'm afraid to even guess how much i've spent on this car. i have a huge box full of receipts.
hell i have spent probably $1500 just changing exhaust systems and other little crap. shorty headers, then long tubes, etc.

 

I know of a few people on this site that are into the 6 figures.

 

I don't have to much in my SS

Bolra cat back-$600.00
Springs-$240.00
Headers,y-pipe,I-pipe- $375.00

But my 84 Z has way to much

Car no motor/trans-$10,000.
Motor-$15,000.
trans& converter-$2000.
Custom headers & Exaust -$2500.


I think i will stop there i getting sick

AL

 

just throw the receipts away
no need to get depressed till you get your w-2 and then ask where all tthe money went

 

I think most people will fall into the way to much category.

 

Like everyone else, I've spent alot on my car. My new stroker, heads, and turbo are at ~$7000 right now, and I'm not even done. It's my toy. It's what I like to do, so why not spend the money on it.

 

hmmmm
ive spent
FLowmaster -$300
CAI - $150
HPP3 and 160 thermo- $350
Car Alarm, sound system, and window tint - $1800
373 gears - $300
Nitrous kit and install -$1000
Indiglo Gauges, Cobalt A/F gauge- $100
LT4 KM - $35
20 Nitrous bottle refils @ $25 each - $500
383 stroker with JE forged racing pistons, SCAT crank, Hbeam rods
Blueprint and balancing of rotating assembly, totally tricked out heads long tube headers, 4 bolt splayed main caps and everything else in the engine except the block is new, everything has been ported to the max ( almost done ! should be running in 2 weeks or less, waiting for rotating assembly adn block to come back from being blueprinted and balanced)
Total cost so far - $8000

Total out of pocket on car- $12,535..........

damn, i think im going to be sick, why the hell did you start this post

 

I've spent more on mods than what the car cost new.......

..... and no, I'm still not done.

 

I spent close to 10k on the first 383 setup. on the new combo I spent around 15k. That included the currie 9" and every thing that BMR had to offer for my car. Dam things sure aren't cheap

 

Id say george baxster prolly has spent the most. I know he has run tons adn tons of different combos to find what does/doesnt work.

Me:
Car 12000
Exhaust 1700 ish
intake 200
pully 60
wires plugs misc: 150
12bolt rear 1650, a steal!
ground effects 600
hood 600
wheels 700
tires 1200
suspension 800 ish
total: W.T.F.M.! (figure it out)

and god knows what else, im sick of just thinking bout it.

 

They better have 4 sec cars for that much money .

If not, they sure did get ripped off

 

Ummm....you ever buy some MAJOR mods, Not bolt on bull****, but say a heads/cam swap, Done right, expect around 5K

As for me, I have spent almost 10K this week

 

Four second rides take seven figures

I stopped counting at 5k. The ball and chain sez if I spend another dime on the car I'll be living in the garage.........let's see, how I'm I going to get cable out here

 

I'm trying to get mine to move into the garage with me

I haven't spent near as much money as most people mainly because I've done most of the work myself. What work i've had to have done has been done cheap since my brother has his own garage

The worst was $1600 for a short block rebuild and having the heads reworked.

Heads were ported by me, long block assembled and installed by me, intake, throttle body, exhaust, all done by me I just had to pay to have the exhaust hung and welded up.

I'm getting away pretty cheap now that I look at it
