I've kept track, so I know how much, but I'm not going to say. Let's just say it adds up when you do both appearance, handling, and performance and then decide you need even more performance.

I have no idea, but here's a short list of biggies.

Whipple HO = $5800
Drag radials and rims = $700
frpp TB = $599
AFCO HE = $400
new tires = $600
suspension = $600
Gauges/wide bands = $400
chin spoiler = $200

I'm sure I've spent a $1,000 or so on stuff I've forgotten about. So that's $10,300 added to the original cost of the car, which was $25,700, not counting interest paid.

Forgot 4.10 gears = $500
1 piece drive shaft= $500
2 clutches = $900

this is great if you can do the work by yourself but if you have to rely on a shop this makes you kick yourself... money to be saved i see
