....what would you do? Last night there was a show on the Discovery channel about street racing. On this show they took two cars, a Honda Civic, and a Eagle Talon DSM. They said somewhere in the show, that they put over $10,000 into that Civic (and it only did a 9.xx in the 1/8th mile, but then I read somewhere else that she eventually ran a 12.4 and blew up the motor
So I was wondering, if you were given $10,000 to dump into your car, what would you do (also using the stuff that’s already on your car)?
On the show, they spent their money on both performance and body and suspension.
This is what I would do (most of these prices I got of RamChargers, some I got from Kirban’s and the other ones I got from the companies websites.):
1. Transmission from CK Performance capable of 650hp: $1949.00
2. V2 Front Mount intercooler: $869.00
3. Champion Ported Heads: $1399
4. 208/208 cam, lifters and valve springs: $221
5. GNX Rear Suspension: $1995
6. GNX style exhaust (with Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers): $389.76
7. Fender Louvers: $44.95
8. Baer Brake System* $800
9. New front suspension and body bushings: $171.98
10. 57 lb/hr injectors: $299.94
11. Nitto Drag Radials (275/60/15): $287.98
12. Paint: $2000
* The Baer Brake system I couldn’t find a price for G-bodies, so I took a stab in the dark.
Total: $10,327.61
And what would I be running? Low 11’s?
