I have a few F body's and my $$$ amount spent has defentially flew past the 100,000 dollar total if you include the purchase of the cars.
Over 60,000 in mods between the cars and 2 never run.

Seeing the amount of money everybody has in their car and the hp #'s........I'm glad I have a 5.0

Man that sucks that you`ve spent that much and your not able to race them yet, I go crazy if I go more than a month without going to a dragstrip. I remember you probably got screwed the worst by Jay Bruno , I think the heads on my silver 02 Formula were one of the last sets that went out before he started ripping everyone off .Hope you got some of your stuff back.

My mod money went to a motorcycle (Boulevard C50) and many, many handguns.
Besides, I want to wait to see if that 2007 Camaro comes out. If so, good bye 01' TA.

paid -get this- $11500 for the car with ~24K miles and not a scratch or problem(beside the clutch hydraulics needing to be bled) & car came with a tune, SPEC ST3, 4.11s, and decent street tires. Cleanest around.....bought at a auction/big sale.

The total with car comes to just over $17K(lol thats what I paid for my brand new Honda Civic EX!) Thats including maintenance, repairs, etc and a lot of times fixed things that werent broken(ie, replaced 02 sensors when they only had 24K miles, etc)

That includes Mods in sig + LQ9 shortblock, aluminum LQ4/LQ9 heads, cam, chromemoly pushrods, dual spring kit etc on the way. Not too shabby for ~$17K!

I was prepared to spend $17 on just the car when I bought it...just was in the right place at the right time, and I also bought it cash so I ended up getting a faaar better deal than I imagined. Bargaining is your friend.
