I’ve seen a lot of these threads, and I’m pondering starting a thread on how to save money.

I just don't understand all the hate some of the V8 guys have against the V6 guys. Serious dude, why all the intense hate? When some of us mod our V6's to perform better, some of the V8 guys here go nuts. Why is that? We're just doing the same things that you guys are doing, modding our cars to perform and look better, just like everyone else. Relax bro, it's all good. |

Please !please!!please
Hey guys ,a lot of us come on these forums and post questions , a lot of which might seem.redundant to you all specially to the esteemed forum seniors who have been around for a while . One thing I look at is the "# of posts " by a forum member to determine the seniority level . It's not foolproof but definitely senior level members who have posts that run into the hundreds /thousands . You all have a wealth of information that's sometimes a bit overwhelming to newbies . My humble request to you all and I'm sure the newbies including myself will agree is that please refrain from getting into petty wars /name calling amongst yourselves .everyone is entitled to their own opinion . Personal Opinions are not directed at anyone. This forum is the holy grail of knowledge ,please do not disrespect this sacred space . I look forward to myself being a valuable source of information to all new comers includING my kids who I'm sure will reference this forum at some point .

I never thought a 323hp 217 cid V6 would give SS V8 owners so much grief. Lol! |

Maybe start with recommending this book. It’ll educate people enough to ask the right questions as well as understand the areas of modifications they might want to concentrate on and assess DIY difficulty levels. |

For the record op didn't ask what he could do but what "you" would do with 400 bucks and that is what I would do and i called you smug because almost all of your posts i have read come off as aggressive like for instance someone on another thread posted lol in response to someone suggesting a catch can and you went into a rant about how necessary the can is and didn't understand whu he/she would lol at something like that. I've only been a member here for a short time and it became very obvious to me that the catch can suggesting is something people here do, even if the original post or question has nothing to do with performance mods. Hell, one member here post it in almost everything, kinda like his signature. I apologize for my doucheiness but in my defense, i just woke up and was already in a bad mood because i get to spend my day at a high school for my kids football and cheerleading and its hot, muggy and raining off and on. My sincerest apologies

Valid point @squawk. Ultimate objective is power gain . But somehow I am starting to realize every mod is codependent on another one. So in the end $400 seems unrealistic . Only thing I have done so far Is a K &N typhoon CAI . Caliper covers. Katzkin later covers , rear spoiler , and custom starry night halo lights . I left the the 400 $mark way long back. Right now I'm looking to get a MRT V2 axelback to enhance the sound . Down the road when. I have more money will look at catback with headers etc +tune etc . I understand the question is very generic but given that there are so many options and possibilities being endless it's hard to really pinpoint . I guess my question needs to be rephrased "listed in order of what's priority " .

Op, how does your paint look? If you have any blemishes, I'd suggest a paint correction and ceramic coating

The fact of the matter is there are a lot more people trading the V6 to get the V8 than the other way around & they don't seem to be bothered by the extra cost which only increases after they take a bath on the one they traded in. That said I do understand your point as its kind of how I feel about the cost of the 6th gen SS compared to my car. It would cost me a pile of money now to trade mine in for one & I don't feel the benefits justify the cost. And how I feel about their looks is another matter though they have grown on me. |
