best way to spend 10gs
02 vert with cold air, flow masters, 60,000 mile looking for more performance, have 10 to spend or does a guy upgrade the car to one that is done? Thoughts? Thanks

Hard to argue with what's been suggested.

Trade the Vert in on a Z06........then long tube headers, exhaust, intake and a tune.

Sell your car for $15k, put the $10k with it, and use it on a down payment for a used $50k C7. Other than that, supercharger.

If I had It to do all over again, I would do some forced induction! YOU WILL need to also do some transmission and differential UP-GRADES to handle the added power!!

I will throw in my 2 cents, I have an 01 vert. I wanted a sc. Did it and then ended up doing a new motor then a new transmission plus other stuff, without me doing labor, cost a lot more than that when all was said and done. If I had it all to do over I would sell my car and buy a already built one and save thousands. You can find these cars on this forum with way more money in them than 25k.
Good luck

This plan works, but you end up with not nearly as much power as a SC/LTs (opt.) and a good tune, with money left over from $10k. You can install the SC kit yourself, if you have tools.
