I keep records of all the money I spend (hemorage) on the Camaro, and hit a milestone today. Looking at my tally makes me cry inside most of the time, and sometimes I think of all the neat things I could have purchased for what I have spent. I could have bought a fully sorted racecar, ready to go out of the back of SportsCar magazine for all that I have spent.
The worst part, is after all I have spent, my car is sub-par at everything it does. It is sloppy at the drag strip, auto-x track, and on the road course, and is now getting more and more useless as a daily driver. Anyway, enough of my babbling let's see the bling! I know some of you keep up with things like this, if not make a guesstimate. My Idiocy |

I don't like to do the math, but it was about $10K before I blew the motor. So figure a rebuilt short block balanced with forged pistons and good bolts, LS6 heads, cam, etc. plus an LG radiator and tuning, and well it hurts to think about it.
I too should have bought a Z06.... |
