Just curious. How much money have you guys put into your cars? Mods, repairs, accessories, etc?

Bought it on April 30th of this year. Since then, maybe a grand. $175 of it was for a new headliner I installed, the rest was for mods/upgrades. Saving $3000 for a complete paint job including the stripes.

I plan on maybe 2 grand more in mods. That money is for the parts, not including installation that I can't handle myself.

All I'm looking for is a daily driver with low 12 capability. If it breaks into the 11's, even better.

2 ls1 engins.. 2 rebuilds... and one ls6 crate that i dropped in last year... slp loud mouth.... had to get my cats gutted cause they took a shit... slp air lid.. two damn k&n air filters (one fell into a large can of gas that was cleaning paint brushes)... a trip to the autobody when i got run off the road.. and another one soon from when i was backing out of a garage bay (drunk) and hit a steel wall... and also i'll be ptting out over 2k for a new rear cause my posi is shot and i'm getting reallly bad wheel hop when i stab the gas...

Has anybody read that thread? It is very funny.
Some person claims he has an 01 SS that came from the factory with a full LS6 and he runs 11's with a few bolt-ons. And everyone calls him out on it and they want proof, slips, cast numbers, etc, and he can't produce. Its great.

I have $15k in aftermarket upgrades to mine. I have owned the current Camaro for a year now. A lot of the upgrades I transferred over from my previous SS vert that I wrecked. I had it for 3 years. So the $15k has accrued over 4 years really. It adds up fast, thats for dang sure
