ummm.....i hope you are refering to an older model because there is no way in hell a stock csvt will hang with a current gt. not in the 1/4 or 0-60

In my setup I have about $13,000 total.
Heck I'm running sub 13.5's with a lowly NA 3 liter. 
It's even below 10:1 CR.
I have around $6500 into mods/repairs. Though that covers a few general wear items like the clutch, tires, brakes and such.
Of that I have about $4000 into go fast/powertrain mods (most of it 3L & tranny upgrades) and another $1000 into suspension/brakes. That's everything and not just simple part listing costs.
Total to date including purchasing it brand new with tax, title, license, and interest I am around the 30k mark.
Not too bad considering some folks paid that for a bone stock car including interest and taxes. 
Resale doesn't bother me because I simply won't ever sell it. No point anyway. 
2000 SVT #674

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

me either.
IF I had the competence, time, and know how (and Tom was back, ie local engine guru), I could've save myself the installation costs, which would've brought the price down to under 10k, but bang for buck, like you've TOLD THOUSANDS OF NEWBS HERE, 3L is the way to go for value (just hope yours doesn't fail!)
I wonder if the 3L failures are due to poor installation or setup procedures (bearing clerances, etc.)? Tom and Greg are super anal and so far haven't destroyed their 3L's (I'm ignoring the other 3L's Tom has done, just current trim). . .

You've been here for nearly two years and have done nothing but b!tch and moan about the price of the turbo or other HP mods. You KNOW what's up with these cars so open your wallet or STFU!

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

I might just end up doing that. I have just over $10,000 into them, between the two cars.
