Default I will give you an LS1..

..and $7,000 . Better yet, Lets just pretend I give you a low mileage M6 Camaro/Firebird and 7g's. What will you do to it? You CANT sell it and mod your car! It's a blank canvas.

I would personally forge the block (346) and spray the sh** out of it with a transbrake.

But thats just me.

So, is this just a twist on the usual "I have $X,XXX to spend, what should I do?" thread? What, do you have $7,000 to spend??? (i am wondering, cause man, $7k all at once......that would be niiiiice )

I'd say 12 bolt, clutch, bolt-ons, exhaust, cam, tune, tires, some chassis bracing/suspension mods.

You know what, that question sucks!! Gonna ask us what we'd do if we had another LS1, but we can't sell it.....Who wants two?? One money pit is enough! (for now......) Obviously most people on here aren't going to sell THEIR car either..........

This is easy. If you gave me a low mileage M6 Camaro/Firebird and $7g's I would drive the Camaro/Firebird (what else would I do with a car?) and my pockets would be stuffed with the $7g's.


So when are you giving me the Camaro/Firebird? I would prefer a Firebird by the way

No, you suck pig Fu*&^%. Like most people in here I have thousands invested in my car. I just meant this to be a fun and innocent question. For you guy's who thought about it and replied, thanks. I may be doing it all over again for the MRS.

I change my mind on a daily basis. The real killer is spending $2500 on a rear end.

IMO, the real killer is the cost of NOT spending $2500 on a rear end.

First I'd say "Thanks," Then I'd do what he said.

I'd donate the car to a tech school, take the tax deduction then blow the 7g's at the bunny ranch...
