the group of guys I hang around with have all upgraded from their M3s and M5s and bought a bunch of GTRs . my car was at the top of the list for the quickest cars in the group but now a few of them are doing major upgrdes so it's time to get more power and drop the weight significantly . i'm not a huge fan of the GTR , even though it can be a complete animal . they are nice to look at but I could never picture myself owning one . I have always been a big corvette fan and this will give me the opportunity to build a bigger monster than my C63

Are you getting a ZR1, Z06, or what?

i'm going to buy a used C6 for around $30k and add on another $30k-ish and make 7xxwhp in a car that's built to handle some abuse no matter where i'm at . that price also includes a fully built tranny , lots of engine upgrades , Procharger , lots of cooling upgrades due to the Texas heat and all the labor
I know I won't be the fastest on earth but it will be quick enough with 7xxwhp in a car that's pretty light weight to start . of course I will be doing some other light weight mods for additional help . it will be a darn good starting point and will only cost me roughly the selling price of the AMG .

didn't break the bank ??? a used GTR is going for $80k+ stock . add on big mods and you are well into the $100k range .

I guess the C6 will still be far cheaper though. I was thinking you were getting a ZR1 thats already making 600.
