What else am I forgetting?


Thanks Low,

 

The $18,000 - $20,000 defecit to your personal finanaces by the time your little adventure is over with. If it's your daily driver, include the cost for another vehicle, a car with that many modifications will be unreliable and tempermental.

 

Maybe that's why he's "LOW"

 

I think that "Low" should finish filling out his profile!

 

 

Thanks guys, I know it's going to be expensive but I plan to do the build in three stages. Also, I filled in my profile a bit more, hopefully it helps.

This is not my DD, it's my third car. I have a Land Rover LR3 V8 AWD and a Dodge Dakota Quad Cab V8 4x4, practical vehicles for my wife and I as we do not commute. I want to have a little fun with the C5. I picked it up for a song and I love the look of it compared to other generations. I have never raced anything at the track but I love the idea of beating up on the local GTs and spending weekends at the tracks. I'm an admitted novice but when I get into something, I'm a pretty quick study.

I am relocating to Florida at the end of the year but for now I have a great performance shop within an hour of me (www.sho-mespeed.com) to help me with the build. I had a great conversation with the shop owner Wes but I wanted to see what the folks around here had for 600rwhp recipes. Tell me how you would fill in all the blanks and why. I thought it would make for an interesting thread while giving me some brands and technologies to research.

Thanks in advance
