I hope this isn't a repost or under search somewhere...

Anyhow I like to see your rear wheel hp number and amount of money spent to get to hp level. List of mods are welcome but not necessary.

With this information I could do a cost/benefit analysis between buying an used 2004 Z06 or keep my 94 fd and mods it out.

Thanks all.

 

$16 and 500bhp

 

I thought most members on this site are more mature than this...well dubulup...look like you aren't in "most" category.

 

$7500

240 hp

 

328 @ 10 PSI. spent about 3000.

 

375rwhp. I'd estimate close to $30k including the price of the car. Of course much of that money wasn't dedicated to horsepower (ie, spending 2.5k on a new set of rims, and powdercoating engine parts). Some of my mods can be found in my vBGarage

Getting the power there and keeping it there over time are two different things.

If all you want is power, go for the Z06. Tons of power, every modern interior gadget/fixing you could ever want/need (including heads-up display), and depending on how you treat it it will be much easier on the pocket in terms of reliability.

 

Damn...how'd you do that? I spent $17 and only got 499.

 

315 whp for about $2500 only in power mods (buying used saves a lot!)

of course I've spent a lot more than that on other mods like alunimum radiator, suspension (springs, sways and sway mounts), short shifter, wheels and tires, front and rear spoilers and sideskirts, extra cooling fan for intercooler, engine brace, battery relocation, etc etc

406 rwhp... as you can see, some of the money I spent was on non-engine type stuff.

 

11.5K = 350hp because clutch slips

 

Well, I only remember spending $16 this week and 500hp seems like a cool #.

here's 8 pages of a thread you started on pretty much the same issue, 94 FD or 04 Z06, should be a good read too.

Around 300 rwhp ........... $2700

 

around 300whp for about $2000

 

533 whp = 3.5 billion

 

i'd get the ZO6, black, hard top, good to go

 

Just get the Z06 and spray it. more bang for the buck, it handles very well, and the LS1-6 motor was built by the hands of God. True Story.

 

they all have hard tops, and a notch back.

 

I GOTTA CALCULATE EVERYTHING

413HP

t78=$2400
pulleys=$90
intercooler with battery location & battery & yada yada yada=$2000
everything else as far as performance stuff came with the car
around $4600 so far

 

435 was my last dyno number. I have about 35k-40k into the car, including the price of the car and the motors it went through and just about every other nickel and dime thing.

 

If I had the money all at once, i probably would go with a slightly used Z06. You cant beat the reliability and power of the ls1-6 motors. Plus it handles and looks good too.

 

I guy I know in San Diego got exactly 255 at the wheels for about $10

Bone stock well taken care of R1 model plus some dry ice ($10) packed around the intercooler.

 

i'd get the Z06 if you want power, go for the FD if your an enthusiast and dont want to look like every other car on the road. i dont know about you but i dont even look at corvette's on the street i see to many but the FD thats another story

 

Spend $2850 on mod and tunning to get 275rwhp

A little above 1000 rwhp when all finished and properly tuned 3 rotor t-88 conversion. Aquamist water injection, custom water spray for dual 34 row oil coolers and 3 row intercooler.... many many more mods... about 60 grand total on body work interior work and engine work.
