If you want to impress your dad, try standing on your own two feet and buy your own toys.

 

marcus and moose are right.

 

I'd feel ashamed to ask my daddy something like that. Since when do parents pay for half of a hugely expensive mod for their kid's car??????? Is there some sense of entitlement here?

Why don't you work and save up the amount it costs and then see how much an SC means to you. ...probably not as much.

 

Last question first - not only will you not get your money back out of it, you'll also lose value on the rest of the car because nobody will ever believe that you didn't run it hard. And hard use might show even if you didn't mention the SC (which would be arather dishonest, stereotype-used-car-saleskind of stunt to pull, IMO).

As a parent, I'd certainly invest $3k in my child's future and his/her ability to make something of it. Maybe a third that much on necessary repairs to keep a car going or prevent eviction, depending on circumstances. No more thanabout $300 on a toy or other obvious luxury. BTDT.

As a child, I wouldn't dream of asking my parents for that kind of a handout.

I would have to go with the BUY IT YOURSELF approach.....no excuses needed. Then, ask your old man to help you with the install, since he knows a lot about cars, and you are bafffled by his knowledge, and need his wisdom....AND, you miss the quality time hanging out and b'sing with him.........DAMN I"M GOOD! (MY DAD would see righ through this tactic......and just ask me..."will this get us more P***Y?"

I Loved the Mt. St. Helens theory, but if you don't live in Washington State, you are screwed on that one.

Coastal Area?.....The Tsunami argument was good, but will the waves wash up in central Indiana?

I would have to go with the "it might get US laid more" factor......and start dating girls with HOT MOMS (aka MILFS) that loves to have her daughters boyfriend's Dad over for barbeques.

 

Isn't a wrx allready turbo charged? Look how much a supercharger is for a gto or srt8.

It's a $26,000 car to start, so a $5k supercharger isn't that much to people that can afford this car. I believe you can get a turbo kit for $3500 for this car.

 

I don't need a woman with an *** like the one in your avatar pic, but it's nice to have non-the-less.

 

Just like Dream Car Garage: "Do you need a car like that? Nope. But, do you want a car like that? Absolutely." My S/CMustang is still not even close to the fastest thing I own.My Corvette is faster - byquite a bitand my ZX-14 is quicker and faster. I am not even sure it can 0-60 as fast as my "bagger" Valkyrie (it'd be close). But my Mustang can sure whoop up on my Dodge Ram!

 

intercooled turbo kits are more likely in the 5-6 K range
