    How much?

    How much have you spent on your car and what numbers/quarter mile times are you running

    $3500

    433rwhp/412tq

    no 1/4 times yet

    Just spent 1500 on new fast setup, ud pulley and injectors too, so well see where that takes me

    I had a lot of setups... Heads, cam, nitrous, supercharger, full bolt ons, Hre's and a lot of broken parts. My new hobby costs more so maybe I should go back to the car hobby. lol

    99 S/C TA WS6 & 04 Cobra

    Well lets see in total around 10K or so in the TA. It run high to mid tens around 125-127 mph. Maybe a bit more with some misc. things but who's counting really. It is all about having fun!

    I spent around $800 on the Cobra. All I did was bought the SCT suite with handheld, a used Whipple 3.0 pulley, and some used 60 lb/hr injectors for it. I was lucky it had everything else on it already when I bought it.

    But I am home for the Holidays for one year finally insteaad of being in some shithole for once in the last 5-6 years. So now I am just doing all of the normal preventive maintenance on the TA since it just sits in a garage all neglected in FL. Santa will be here soon though and all will be good...
