How much $$ did you spend to go fast?

Post by mitmaks »

hey guys, i just wanted to see everyone's performance mods (no body kits, wings, etc) ie. turbo, nos, swap, etc. And how much $$ did it cost you to go as fast as you are now (in 1/4 mile)
so post your mods and $$ estimates and track 1/4 mile times. thanks guys.

Shoot I am the worst off all. All I have is an intake and a exhaust typical you know. About $400 with the prm intake an a ac revoloution muffler. 1/4 time is about the time for a person to take a nap. I'm probably going to sell it after I get my cards paid off and get a v6 if I can find one. I atleast have some 17 enkei rf-1 though.
