Yeah, this **** aint cheap, it's just one thing after another and the bill just gets bigger and bigger. All the worries seem to go away when driving the car especially when you spank some corvette that thinks hes the fastest thing on the street or better yet the guys driving porches. i just love the look on their face when i slow down and they pull up next to me it's like WTF just happened

Congrats!
I hope to join this club soon and I'm getting some head work done even if it's not really needed it's cool to say you have it.

Who doesnt like head work?

The first time you hang with a guy driving a car that cost twice as much as yours and see the quizical look on his face, it all becomes worth it. That was easy to do with just my TN kit, with my new setup I fully expect to straight hurt someone feelings .

No way was my car anywhere near the cost of a new viper. Used, well of course there are some that would be cheaper, value of them is dropping like a rock too. My car is just more surprising than most

Not gt35s, close to gt30s but precision turbos are pretty unique so they don't fall into the general size catergories. Still a stock sleeve motor so nothing too crazy.
