So I was wanting to go stg 2 supercharged, but looking at the costs of just the kit and the gauges alone that would put me just under 3k, and thats not including any of the bolt-on upgrades I would need(i.e. hdr/dp/ctbk, intake, internals, ...). So now I'm thinking for about the same cost as going FI I could just buy a second car for fun, and keep the G5 as my DD. I was think about a V8 4th gen Camaro/Firebird but am not at all dead set on that car, so I need some opinions/suggestions.

Build up a BBC and toss it in. You will never get bored of it lol
This has been my dream for years now, but all the 280's I find are too nice to cut up, or too far gone. No in between.

nickadolph

Just a little more information. The G5 is completely paid for & bone stock aside for a couple electrical things. And I also have a 2009 Ninja 250r.

nickadolph

What is a BBC. I do like the idea of a 280 though.

3k to supercharge? nah. but i'd leave the g5 and get something else...if you're lookin for cheap find a cheap honda shell and pop in a boosted b or k. you can find alot of boosted b's rangin from mild to wild for sale on hondatech that are nice. there was a teggy for sale sleeved pistoned synapse kit for 7k, which is crazy considering it was prob 20k for all that **** at the least...if you want a v8 than your suggestion would be the cheapest just gotta shop around.

nickadolph

This is what I had picked out from zzp. If I were to do that I would get the bolt-on kit from them cause I don't know enough about the subject to piece together my own kit. Plus thats the cost for just stg 1, stg 2 is another $175.

Whats the Budget for a 4th gen or other ride?

nickadolph

Not really a set budget, but would like to stay around 5k for the car then mod it over time. I'm not opposed to imports at all either, like the mr2 or the aforementioned 280. May sell the bike in the spring to allow for high purchase price though.

I say go for the 4th Gen F-body. You'll have more performance from that then if you supercharged your G5 plus more potential down the road. Good luck.

nickadolph

Thanks, it'll be awhile until anything happens, but it's nice to get some ideas going until then.

the neighbor has 3 280's sitting in his yard, one as a project for his daughter but he never really got into it, one for parts and the other kinda for parts but still drivable. he is the kinda guy who would come off all 3 for a couple hundred dollars and a case of beer lol. maybe i should start a new project.

and for your poll, get a daily driver then save for the sc kit

nickadolph

If I get a second car I want to have the G5 as the DD for its mileage and reliabilty.

nickadolph

would mind getting a classic like this either.

swap in either a used ls3/l92 if you have the $$, or if you have a tight budget, theres no cheaper way to make gobs of power than with a genI SBC

nickadolph

What is a SBC? Sorry for the dumb questions, never really done any major engine modifications.

nickadolph

Is it SBc=Small Block Chevy & BBC=Big Block Chevy?

nickadolph

This is what you're talking about right?

get a 4th gen F-body those things scream testosterone

Bleu

I dont know about where you live, but having to have insurance on the second car would mean that your always going to be paying more money, even if it is just bare minimum
