    What about a VY SS wagon Thats what I would love to have

    But otherwise
    forced/natural: FORCED
    engine mods: Cam, lower the compressions for charging
    transmission: Tremec T56 6speed manual
    diff: LSD
    body kit: VY SS wagon body kit or similar
    paint colour: Not sure on that one
    rims: Up to the owner but I would be happy with 18s
    interior: LEATHER with the berlina rear seat
    i.c.e: Double din DVD player in the dash and screens in the head rests (something decent but not over the top)
    suspension: Something that makes it sit right but no too now espically the rear

    There's my 2 cents but have fun with what you decide and GO THE WAGON

    I'd spend it on a deposit for property. Then the profit you make on selling the property down the track you can use on mods for cars. This way your spending money you didnt actually have to find yourself.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I'd have to agree with Minux on this one. Be prepared not to see that $20,000 again when it comes time to resale. So often you see cars for sale that have had ten of thousands of dollars spent on mods and their struggling to sell it for less than half that. Then again if you have lazy 20g lying around and plan on keeping it for many years then go for it. I'd sell the V6, buy a LS1 equipped car and spend $5000 on engine mods. You'd work out even
    Car theives should be treated just like horse theives and cattle rustlers in the days of the wild west... Hang them!

    why dont you do a ls2 conversion or a L76? it'll cost you around 12 grand for the conversion and you would have an unopened 260rwkw engine and which a simple chip and cam package you could have around 300rwkw i would be looking down that path

    Yup.

    I'm slowly changing my VN around to make it 'MINE', and my dad and all his mates are always 'Don't spend money on your car, you'll regret it'.

    It always comes back to "Well you've done it, now it's my turn", and they just shut up.

    It's always good to know there are others out there that just wanna spend money on their beast, may not be a 'beast' to others, but it means something to the owner.
