there is no such thing as investing in an f-body. With that being said 18900 for the car in 05, and at least 15k in repairs, mods, more repairs and maintenance

i'm glad i throw all my receipts away! lol i'm way over 10 grand in aftermarket parts over the course of the 3 years i've had this car. i do all the installs too, so that saves a lot of money. i'm sure i have more money in wasted clutches than a lot of people have in all their mods.
