First off thank you for the compliment....
I tried to create a car within reason that the average guy buying a second gen F-body could aspire too.... The Carbon Panels are what I do so please don't crucify me on that that (you can use stock steel in the place of my Carbon panels),,, otherwise think about what has been done so far:
- An LS-1 drive line take out (rebuilt)
- A Ride-tech suspension kit (a Hell of a scalable kit and awesome value)
- Wilwood's entry brake system (their new entry kit, again great value)
- A stock sub-frame smoothed
- Stock interior
- Time spent to detail the parts (sub-frame, firewall, etc)
- Year One wheels (Great bang for the buck & affordable to say the least)
- The new BFG Sport Comp 2 tires (a Hell for a bang for the buck tire)
If you have a better balance that offers better performance, reliability, repeatability, and is budget conscious please chime in with a thread and offer it to others here so that they can benefit from your experience/s... Everyone has a budget, some greater than others... You have to break the bank a little if you're going to attempt to build a pro-touring car in my opinion. The Second Gen's are pretty darn good cars right from the factory and if you are looking for notable handling/driving improvements I can't think of where you'll find a more cost conscious balance....
Anyways I don't want this to sound like a rant,,, rather a challenge to put your knowledge and experience out there for other to benefit from... Who knows maybe you have a better option that is a more affordable approach and I'm all ears to that too....
