    Ah but when that particular one was at $130K, it kinda puts it all in perspective. IIRC, DJR were flogging his cars off for $95K with the 320kw engine, and i reckon you could get one with a 400kw Herrod blower for under $110K.

    You probably could.

    Just as a quick run down, BF2 XR6T - $45K, V8 Supercar sized brakes - $10K, edit - $1300 including custom tune, 3.5 inch full exhaust - $1500, new valve springs, cams, fuel injectors, fuel pump, upgraded trans oil cooler, bigger intake/plenum chamber, intercooler, upgraded clutch - unknown. All the "knowns" add up to around $60K, and the rest may only take it to $70K.

    But then you dont get the nice interior that green Walkinshaw had, being a Senator originally. You dont get the trick suspension, seeing as how the MRC can go between performance and comfort (how they shouldve done it for all of them IMO) and i think Walkinshaw even gives some warranty.

    You could do a upgrade on the interior... Seats about $3000, Door trims pinch them.. New dash ??$?? Maybe around $10,000 for the interior still cheap

    Well anything's possible. You'll probably want to upgrade the stereo and speakers, thats for sure

    Most of the cost of the Green GTS/Senator would've been the full respray in a Lambo paint (it's actually the Lambo green) adding the GTS bodykit and having all the custom leather made (I'm pretty sure it's not just the stock leather dyed green)
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...
