Well another newb to the site. I just got out of the sport bike scene and am now looking into getting into sport car scene per say. I like the felling of having power at your fingertips in a vehicle I drive. My sportbike was a triumph 675 with a few mods and it was nice but now I have kids and if I need to take them somewhere I need a back seat. So for a stock 05 or 06 it has 400 hp, what type of money would I have to spend to get a 500 hp streetable car. Cam, exhaust, intake, headers what parts do you get your best performance from and if I was to get it to 500hp would everything else hold up or is it a never ending loop of part upgrades?
Hey Man - Welcome aboard... 500 crank HP is not hard to get too and the motor and drive train can handle that and more. The Mods. I have listed get me to around 515 crank HP and it all cost around 6K, give or take a few hundred bucks. Be sure to get her Dyno tuned after your Mods. are installed...Keep us posted on youre hunt...

I'm 525 crank with a cam, heads, ud pulley, K&N CAI, slp headers, x-pipe and tune. My cost were between 6 and 7 K.

Idk if I'd say "fingertips"...more like power at your feet in a car ;-)

I use the torque of the GTO to haul my bikes to the track. You should get a track bike. That way you can still ride and not have to worry about getting wiped out by a drunk in a car.
