So I'm posting this in the local forums cause only Dolyestown people an locals are really gonna see it. Some of you may know i've been building a 84 Camaro drag car for the past few years, as the project came closer an closer to finishing i've come to notice the fact that there is no place for a car like this around the area. The person that I most looking forward to building the car to play with just announce the sale of his TT Vette. So now i'm sitting an wondering if i really want to finish an weighing my options. I'm still a good month out on a running camaro an that still wont make it track safe. The thing is far from street legal too an will require 110+ octane to run. So now it got me thinking after sled Text me that maybe i should part a project out that one see the road much for maybe something abit more fun to play with. After chatting with the camaro an vettes engine builder, sled supposely said he was down an will start to price things. So heres the options.

A. I finish the Camaro an play with my 300 shot on the track an just cruise it around town with my 2MPG 10 bucks a gallon gas eater (est 1***whp on spray) OR

B. Buy another Daily Driver, have Sponsored1 throw Rods,Pistons, Cams, an other goodies in the 350z an go with the APS Extreme Twin Turbo Kit an aim for 650+whp an throw some more suspension stuff on it.

I'm really torn between the 2 an since i go on vaction this week i think i'm just gonna think it over but I thought i'd see what people thought.Cause of people know what i've been going threw to finish the one car.

For me, there would be more personal satisfaction in finishing a project that I had invested so much time and money into.

o you can drive it around, it just cost some serious coin to drive it.

qkcivic · 07-11-2008, 12:16 AM

I know what the anwser would be its me actually caring what they say...a 650whp Z would keep up with most of them anyway the 1000+ hp would just be to destroy them completely.

I think if i told them i had a moped with wheelie bars they'd try to lock it in. I already had some people PM'ing me on GDR asking me when it would be done

james_ls · 07-11-2008, 04:41 PM

You've put so much time and money into that Camaro.

Finish it.

It's like a friggin legacy at this point...

Besides, wasn't the deal whichever sells first (the Vette or the Porsche) he keeps the other?

sean3 · 07-11-2008, 05:50 PM

Finish the Camaro. If you've spent as much time and money as your sig suggests, it would be silly to just give up now. Building a truely badass TT Z will cost a small fortune as well. I think finishing a 5 year project and having a retarded fast all out drag car spraying a 300 shot would be a lot more rewarding and fun than a 350z with lots of money and two turbos thrown at it

omgjacki · 07-11-2008, 05:52 PM

I'm a Nissan fan. I voted for the Z. Good luck with it.

SovXietday · 07-11-2008, 09:29 PM

Stick with your current project, without a doubt.

I dont think you know how much money is in that camaro. i could part half of it out and have enough to build Z with without a problem. thing is a never ending money pit.
