I just cant stop throwing money into my car. This week alone I bought Z06 rims,tires, SFC's,Control arms,panhard,retinted the windows and coils/shocks. Yes this was an expensive week. Next week it goes to the paint shop for the spoiler and bumper repaint.

I've done more in the first year than I had planned for the car altogether! It's nuts! Beats the alternative though, imagine if you threw all that money into a stang and still got beat by stock LS1's...

When I bought my Z, I told myself that it's gonna be strictly used for commuting to school and that I would keep it bone stock. It has plenty of power anyways.

I was SO wrong.
