    besides....hmmmm...VW or Benz????? Hmmmm....
    $30K into motor work alone. Once you're done and all, you would have spent about $55K-$60K into a daily driven 512whp car. On days you want embarrass an old fuck in his C63 AMG, turn to boost up to 30lbs+ and you'll have 800whp at your disposal. Easily walk all over your C63. Also, the mere fact that that GLI weighs under 3500lbs.

    I am not saying this is the best option, nor am i saying do it. Its just what people have as ideas. There are many flaws to this, and therefore i don't care about building a car to have this much power.

    I personally wouldn't do that, I prefer tasteful mods.

    If i had the money, time, and garage. I'd buy a 1985 VW Golf shell, and just play with it. Drop in a 1.8T and have fun.

        and what do you do if the c63 amg owner puts even 10k into mods into his engine? you get beat..

        bottom line is this, both cars tuned to the max, you get beat. you start out with a turd you finish with a tuned turd. save your money.

          That's true as well, but than again what are the odds of racing a C63 AMG with mods? Maybe 2% of the total population?

          Most likely you will encounter stock cars like that.

            not the point at all.

            your tuning a turd. its like lining the walls of your trailer home with diamonds. your just adding diamonds to a turd.

              A 370Z is a better start. More people would mod those things just because its a Nissan and parts are readily available for it (if not now, then in the future).

              However going forced induction on that car is still untouched waters. Only a handful of companies can successfully tune those.

              Over time no doubt, you can get a 370 to 600+ whp. Now, take a 350Z and you can easily get to 800whp only because its been done time after time after time.

              Even better, daily driven 1000whp Supra :thumup:

                  I would be cheap with my money and buy a Kia :weights:

                  Realistically, yes i would invest into supercars and than than of course little toy tinkers just to kill time and have fun.
