Real life is nothing like Forza. That's all I have for you. Drive your car around stock for a while, figure out some real goals for it, get some solid driving experience, and come back to us with something more concrete. Arbitrarily picking a number out of the air for a power goal is not a good way to be taken seriously.

Oh, and you're going to waste money. Know that going in. You have to pay to play. Slowly modding over time demands that.

putting money in my car is not a waste of money in my eyes, some people think spending 35,000 on a car is a waste but again not me. i didnt pick the number out the blue and is why i gave it a 100hp rannge

Case in point? Supras. 11.8@156mph w/ a 2.3 60'. Wanna race from a roll?

(And yes, I know that there are a metric shit ton of Supras out there running single digits. However, there are even more high hp street cars that are absolutely useless for anything but roll racing.)

there's smart people on the interwebs?

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaahhhh.

it is a waste. if you've ever built a car before, you'd know that. if you slowly build up over time you will change one thing, then have to change another, then you'll break something and have to replace it, then there will be a better version of a part you've already replaced that comes out, so you replace it again, the process goes on.
esp when you hit a certain hp# then get bored with the car. being able to say you have an 800hp car is meaningless if you cant drive it. but if you are seriously wanting to build an 800hp camaro, your best bet is to buy a Body In White, spec out an LSX motor with whatever upgrades you need to get it to push that power, and then add in the trans and rear to hold up.


then you'll break something and have to replace it all over again. its part of the hobby known as hot rodding. shits going to break. there is always a need to have more power, go faster, stop shorter, etc. it never ends.

i plan on building the ss to a certain point and stopping, i plan on getting a Ferrari or zr1 of the time by 45ish. im ok with replacing broken parts comes with the territory, you dont complain about buying your wife a ring when you getting married, well long as it doesn't cost toooo much...!

I also think 600 rwhp is pretty much the limit for a street car.

Except when it's in movies. Or when it's being trailered to Bonneville, or when it's in one of the 45 million shoots HR has done of it.

Freiburger does NOT take his kids to school in it, pick up groceries in it, or use it to go out to dinner with his wife. Cars that do that more than twice a week are daily drivers. The only time daily drivers should be on trailers is if they've broken down.

easyy dood, when it was first done he said he drove it for a month everyday to and from work. thats good enough for meeeee

BUT!!

Good luck with being able to afford the maintanence on a Ferrari. The best "high-performance" car you can afford will be the zr1, the parts for those cost just as much as every other GM part.

Several of these post talk about turning the boost up on TVS2300. Are you talking about switching pulleys to get more boost or another method?
