Lightbulb Curiosity? How much to MOD it!

Lets say someone loved their 2000 Z28 Camaro and had saved a bunch of money just for getting it modded out. How much would it cost roughly to put all the greatest mods on - do a complete engine/tranny rebuild with the best stuff... Just curious


Curiosity killed my cat!

I would think you could easily throw 20k into it and still not be done!

You could easily drop 30k and not be done! With all the best parts? You better have a lot saved up.

My motor spun a bearing summer of 06, i then sold the old motor and made a new one part for part, built shortblock.h/c/i, then added nitrous. And when ur started u find new modds to do here on the tech each time u visit.
Then i started to get some real suspension, sfc's and then a show off pro paintjob w/expensive materials,

And before i know 20k+ spent, and i would guess there is at least 10k left before i will be satisfied,

Funny.. For you to think about, after i buy the parts, i Ship them to iceland, and tax them when they arrive here, so i end up paying double what you pay,

So if i lived at the us i could have a new z06 for what my old camaro has costed me
