And as for launching it.... you're still going to need to spend another $600 on slicks and extra rims. So you want to take it to the track.... need to make sure you have all the safety gear and a suspension setup to make that baby hook........ and you'll wrap another $1,500 up in that before you know what hit you. Of course, you'll want tuning software, gauges, and a scan tool so you'll know what the hell it's doing.... so add another grand to the bill.
This stuff snowballs.
Things will break. A lot.
These cars are never "done."

I'd have considered it. I bought a T/A last summer for $6K with ported heads, hotcam, exhaust, appearance mods, intake, ect. ect. About as modded as you can get without tearing into the stock 99K bottom end. And it's been the most reliable car in the household too.
