Gears...........~$800
Headers.......~$1000-1500 depends on what you get
install of all that and tune at least $1000
so you will at least spend $5500 
and dont forget a good driver... thats worth a lot of $$$$$ HAHA
:P  
I agree with you, you will probably be able to build a camaro for 40k and go faster than 9s but it will be hard to make it reliable unless you do it right. 15k drivetrain (trans/diff/clutch/etc), 5k susp mods, 10+k engine, 10k blower and all accessories (Turbo will cost more!), 2k wheels and tires. you will need another 3+k for install/tuning/etc another 2-3k for a cage. thats about ~45k. you can make it cheaper with nitrous but I doubt you will run faster than 9s... and you will need a BIG shot haha...
will you be able to run 9s with 40k YES. but 8s??? its goin to be hard but possible. |
You are correct, I was lucky enough to have sponsers at the time, mainly because of armdroplive and pinks, I had less then 2k into it, just wait until you guys see the shit box ill be racing this year......
Dont get me wrong I would take garths, teds, larrys, or any of the cars on here in a heart beat, we are planning on getting a zl1 this summer but we shall see
