With everything I've done, I'm at around $34k, not counting on the $1500 I've spent this past month. also those horsepower and torque numbers were made on a failing fuel pump and beyond maxed out injectors.

jesus christ dude... I spent under $5k, including built engine.

How in the world do you spend over $30,000 to end up with that? Do you pay someone to do everything?

it must be made of sterling silver

[MMGT1]

Thats about right where I am with mine as well, paid 32,500 for the car and have about 25K into it. The charger is still not on yet, but I have it...lol

[[ion] C2]

WTF

So glad I paid only $2,200 for my car.. and $3k into performance.

[MMGT1]

I know, but I have owned mine since day one. Ordered it December 23rd in 99, came in june 8th of 2000. Fully loaded GT1 with the three dealer as ons that were available, the Vent Visors, Trunk Liner and Grand Am Winter Mats

thanks for the pic it looks great! i cant wait to have mine looking like that. but dang thats alot, i priced out all my stuff and basically its just gonna be pretty wild. 25gs is really where it totaled up to when i priced everything. you ever thought about pushing more then 12 psi

[Papa Rad17]

VERY! nice. welcome!

exactly what i was thinking:lol:

[howie2336]

Yeah $30k is pretty accurate if you're paying to have EVERYTHING done.

[guiguilandry]

lol @ Ion, Stop the panic, I've spent about 25K on mine too since the last 7 years I've had it plus the 15K I've paid it in 2005 with 39 000km on it

[eckoxl]

I have A LOT of mods done to the car as well as 90% of the car has bee repainted. I was at 15psi, but my knock sensor is having issues. Once I get my KS back in order, I will push it back up to 15.

$34,000 is still INSANE

[Hellfire5670]

[billytheman1188]

I could be up there a ways, especially if I figure full retail price. I also keep every receipt for every little nut, bolt, and quart of oil I buy for the car.

I also count parts I've sold to bring the number back down.....

For example......

I have spent approx 2k on my current supercharger setup (basically just the blower and some cnc'd flanges and misc items.....

However I sold my old supercharger setup for $4300, therefore I'm ahead of the game so I can buy other stuff.

Again, I bought the OSV wheel for $400 online. I sold the tires for $350 and the rims for $1200. I bought my current tires and wheels for around $1000 so I'm pretty much at a break even on my rims/tires.

One more (this ought to get people excited/jealous, etc), I traded an ecotec subframe with good motor/tranny that I got for FREE........for a rolling chassis alero, that had $2500 custom coilovers (matt fuller's original set), a CF cowl hood (that I sold for $700), front and rear speedbuilt swaybars, custom control arms, and of course all the interior, etc. steelies with blizzak tires that I sold for $200. Oh I also got $300 for the car after I stripped it and took it to the crusher........lol

and I thought getting an Alero for an $82 bottle of Tequila was a good deal... damn you win :haha:

[Redog]
