Members here, including me, like to follow the build process of other members cars. IF you build your own there is a feeling of reward in that.
1. you get to know alot about your car and parts you or a shop is putting on and what it does to your car.
2. It will make you sound like you know what your talking about when some one asks you about your car.
3.when building your own C32 your not buying someones used C32 along with their used aftermarket parts.

C32 owners on this board are very knowledgeable about their cars and would not recommended a product to you that wasn't good. With that being said. If the C32 guys are saying to go with LETmotorsports or Code3performance than that's the way to go. These C32 owners on this board have put products from these vendors to the test with exceptional results. It just seems one after an other nothing but happy customers.

+1

Well said, hooleyboy.

yea man in the Los Angeles, CA Area around November - December of last year, he couldnt get rid of the thing and he did no know abut forums and I did not have the money. He put it at a momma and poppa corner pot lot and the dealer didnt even know what they had sitting on there lot. I still kick myself everyday This thing was the fastest car I ever sat in, he smoked vortech supercharged g35's, modified m3s no problem, it was a 2002 with like 38k, full renntech, eismann exaust, and brembo brakes

To get a clean, low-mileage C32 (especially 03 and 04... increasingly less likely to find an 02 with low mileage) you're looking at $25,000 give or take - check www.autotrader.com and you'll find a whopping 38 '03 and '04 listings nationwide.

C55's are more refined and a slight bit faster stock-for-stock, but is expensive as hell to modify - I believe there are a few forum members who've owned both the C32 and the C55, you should talk to them and they'll help you figure out which one would be better suited to your needs.

If you'll read the 900,000 prior posts on this issue, you'll see the reccammendations (sic). LET and Code III. As to C32 versus C55, how many times can a dead horse be beaten?? The C32 is Faster than the C55 and the C55 is faster than the C32..............................................

You might as well ask who is better, the Stones or Zepplin??
