well 860rwhp is another realm and possibly another thread altogether lol, we're in stock motored/turbocharged land in here lol but i completely understand and want to mention that is a badass car-i agree you cannot have a similar performing car for that price now-a-days. **** is just expensive with all these dam cars...its hard to have a reliable 500+ car unless its a new car with warrantee (C6 Z06=$75K+) lol
add up what it would cost to replicate, not cutting corners.....if someone is not willing to pay NEAR that...tell them to go build it themself and pay more. thats sort of my take with my car.
I paid 13k for mine, fully tuned with a sts from a friend. car put down little over 550 on 10 psi with meth and a 10:1 a/f
I bought it knowing that it would probally need work sooner or later.
the sts is for sale now,going to sell the stock t56,and ls6 bottom end. should only have to put 3-3.5k for a forged 370,and a t56 rebuilds stage 4,and boost again.
I thought about it and I know what he spent for everytying. close to 30k. I got everyth for half that. :shrug:

Depends entirely on the quality of parts. You could find one for 15k with a stock motor, and you could find one for 40k with all the nice stuff. Depends on the car.
As for the car in question, id say 12k or so, in that area.
