Don't have an exact total, but $17k on the car itself, and at least another $13k on mods and I'm not slowing down anytime soon. Next in the works is paint, then LT headers, then a maggie and hood.

This car, I am controlling myself and am through with mods. Partition, tinted windows, short antenna and that about does it.
I could have had an '04 Z06 for what was in my last 'vette(Lingenfelter 383, several trannies, rear end upgrade, body upgrade with paint, interior change) I'll stop now

way too much....but it may be the only chance I ever have to actually own what I consider a car to be close to super car performance,,,,for a fraction of super car price......a dream come true...
with todays scary economy and gas prices,,,,even though the car is paid for,, it may not be the best choice I ever made,, but it sure gives me the grin......when I drive it..
cost, 23k for the car, mods,, 20k,,, BUT, than includes the lift, special tool, auto tap,and other stuff I would have not bought, but "needed" for the vette...

Just picked up the Z a few months ago.
Already have the fever!
'Invested" about a grand so far in little stuff and I am sure it will be a lot more when I am done

I stopped keeping track on the Rogue C5 when I exceeded $20K. The C5 daily driver around $1600.

I haven't added it up, but probably at least $15-20K. Re-do's are expensive.
I started with boltons, then went with a supercharger, and then a year later pulled everything off and went with turbos.
A year ago or so I upgraded the driveline (hardened output shaft, strut brace, twin disc clutch, etc, etc) - now I'm pulling all that out for an auto swap.
In short - plan your mods better than me and you'll save a fortune.

Im at about $13k right now. And I still have more I want to do. The biggy is gonna be when I finally decide to do a custom paint job. Im expecting to spend about $10-$12k on that alone. UGH@$%(#^(!
