As some of you might know, I have spent the last few months studying and learning all about the Z06 Corvettes, and LSx GM engines... I feel I have arrived with adequate knowledge and insite...
I came to realise a Lexus SC400 is very challenging luxury car to modify to adequately hang with the big boys such as the (09 Vipes, ZR-1, GTR's, Porchse turbo's, etc..) So I was looking for the best looking ride and best bang for the buck... This is what I have discovered -
I have found a few 06 C6Z's selling for around $42,000USD and with the addition of this twin kit installed and tuned for $15,000... Totals $57,000USD to basically own and drive an unbeatable nice looking ride... (APS is the name of the pre-fabbed GM turbo kit company)...
Hear is the link that shows the plan and kit -
http://www.airpowersystems.com/corvette/tts07.htm It appears this website is currently down, I am sorry but it should be back up and running shortly.. A great link too... I hate when this happens... Anyway, its a prefabbed twin turbo kit that will bring the ZO6 Vette to dyno at 650whp....The link shows, pics, kits, dyno's, track runs and everything... Very informative...
I know this is not Toyota or Lexus but to the car enthusiest this should still be an interesting read... I thought I would share my findings...
A good way to finance this is to take out a $50k home equity line which then the interest paid YTD would then become a tax write off.
Payments would then be $300 per month.. Cheaper then leasing a new economy car, but you will need to own a house with adequate equity...
Dreams can become reality if you want them bad enough.. :headbang:
