Spiker's mother remains the best option. She has reasonable rates.

Not really looking into a porsche. For the same exterior condition & milage, a 944 is the same price of a Sc300. The main prob is they'll be 10yrs older.

I'd do a Firebird, but I'm not really a fan. I've always had problems with my feet under the dash (no room), they look & feel like pigs, and they aren't much cheaper in the end. My mom has an 02 WS6 so I have a good idea.

Good luck making 500rwhp on a LS1 with a stock bottom end.  Can be done but its far from cheap.  ls6 or ls22 is a better starting point if you dont want to rip apart the bottom end.  Things get expensive quick in the LSx world.

+1

Most cam only LS1's make around 400whp. Gonna take some serious heads to make 500whp with a stock bottom end.

1UZ's are dirt cheap and strong.


LS ANYTHING, Turbo, Ktech bolts....700 WHP.  Period

I'm not against volvos, but same problem with rust - hard to find a decent rwd example.

I'm just against the ageless UGLY that's represented in a fox body interior. I'm looking for a bit more luxury for this.

id say do it in a sc300 cause there gay and i wouldnt be jealous.  im really not a toyota fan in any way though, newer lexus - id roll one.

if you can find a cheap poorly running e36 318i/is should be cheaper and you wouldnt be wasting one of germanys finer engines, the bmw I6. if you wana be gangster like real gangster not black gangster you would get a 5 or 7 series bmw and make it a 1000 hp american muscle nazi tank

volvos dont rust. My roommates 1990 has 0 rust on it. Less rust than my 03 gaybar.

I've been looking into the salvageautosauction.com website for M3/SC's and LSx cars. Seems to be typical for $1k transportation and $500 fees for the salvage site. One guy did a 70's car w/lsx, paid $3k for a smashed camaro off that site and parted the extras for $1500. So $1500 for a full LS1 drivetrain isn't bad at all.
