Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Question for you car guys: I'm not sure if I already asked this or not but...
What is the point in buying a $20K car and then sinking $30k into it? Why not buy the $50K car to start with?
Is it the available modding or you can get more out of those particular engines, or what's the deal?
The same reason you put $3,000 worth of accessories on a $1,500 gun, instead of just buying a $5,000 gun from the get go.

Lots of reasons. When I bought my 2000 Z28 in the fall of 99 I paid mid 20's for it. Over the next 2 years I put 15k in aftermarket work into it. So I was able to spread the cost over time. Then I modified the car exactly how I wanted it. You can't find a car off the lot setup like my 2000. I went for drag racing at Bandimere and made choices that hurt the on road driving but paid off awesome at the track. You won't see GM putting 4.56 gears into a car, or a cam that barely idles at 1,100 rpms. The ride ended up very poor on the street due to making the rear suspension very stiff and the front very loose, yet I ended up pulling 1.7x 60' times and running mid 12's.Originally Posted by BigBear
Dyno'ing 405HP/390TQ at the rear wheels was very nice. Maybe next year I'll fix the car and start racing it again.
I totally agree with you. I remember kids at school with their Honda's and such that they had dumped 10's of thousands into just to make it run in the 12's or 13's at thefastest, then I buy my 750 dollar mustang, dump just over a 1500 into it, and am running circles around them! Those cars are economy cars, not sports cars! haha
