Default How much have you dropped on your car?

I was just wondering what everyone here has payed for their 5.0 and how much they have spend on upgrades. im trying to get an idea on how much it would take to have a fast 5.0

Im also trying to convince my friend not to buy a Civic and go with a mustang since he has 14k to spend on a car.

thanks,
Sals7tmp

I paid 4,000 for my car, and it has about that much in parts in it, plus a new tranny, new dash wiring harness, and soon to be new paint, hood, and bumper covers....So there you go. Not cheap, haha.

$3500 for the car. I probably have in the neighborhood of $40k in it if you count all the things I've upgraded, removed and upgraded again.
