Thread: If you had....

If you had 8K to spend on your GP what would you do. Let's just say that I need some ideas.

8K in what department?

It might be the pain meds talking but I'm a little lost on what department. Do you mean which part of the car to be modified?

bullit proof built to hilt trans (there goes 5 k..at least for me) finally install my s1x. a little head work, 255 fp, 42 injectors (green tops) finish my c5 brake install and since id have a tad left over id drop it and do gxp rear brakes...

Like performance, aesthetics. That kinda thing. Or just all around anything and everything?

I mean everything.

Well I think if I was you i'd do a coilover setup so you can be low and handle better. New sways.
Then copy Dave and do CTS-V brakes.
Headlight retro
Inferno Hood
The front lip that I for the life of me can't remember.
LED tails and have flip tint them
Window tint if you don't already have it

Assuming youre stock
Headers
Intake
Full stack cooler
Colder plugs
Tune
3.4 maybe? Not sure on a Gen V.

Probably over 8K though lol

Spend it all on the motor and go fast goodies and a little on handling/stopping stuffs...

That's what I was thinking. Or at least focus on the powertrain first especially the trans beings it the weak link. I wonder how much Tim King is getting for comp g transmissions.

I thought a trans was pretty much a given with these cars? lol

More toward performance aspect.
I'd still do the CTS-V brakes

Headers
Intake
Full stack cooler
Cam & Springs
P&P heads
Colder Plugs
Tune
3.2 maybe? Once again not sure on a Gen V.
TRANS!

Funny, I was actually looking at a few of them today. And supercharging it. I know there's more power to be had in turbo charging but I love the whine of the supercharger to much!

Sell GP for 6-8K? Use the previous 8K for downpayment. Use 6-8K from GP to stupidcharge it. Much better idea IMO lol

I can't see myself getting rid of the gp. The woman's gotta have something to drive, LOL.

Nonesense. lol
