What should I do with my car?

I'm going to be making a good buck off two cars I'll be selling soon. I wanted to know what direction to go with my car?

Its a 1999 V6 Convertible (Red with white top, white leather). I plan on color coding the interior trim to the exterior.

I put guess-imate prices on the upgrades I want looking at what I have and what I need.

If your strong for one idea over another post why.
 
I didn't vote as my option wasn't listed. I would be doing the following instead:

Upgrade the six's suspension - lowering kit - sway bars, poly era bushings, pan hard bar, full length sub frames.
Upgrade the six's tranny - shifter, shift kit.
Upgrade the six's drivetrain - 8.8 rear end with choice of gears, aluminum driveshaft and loop.
Upgrade brakes - anything.

Then head on over to Super Six Motorsports and check out their Formula 403 package to get 400 HP.

That's my plan anyway, and I would probably looking at around 350 HP which is plenty for me at this point. For now anyway! :rolleyes: I could always throw in a 50 shot of nitrous. :nice:
 
Alright what I've decided to do is upgrade the suspension, handling and steering first. Then most likely tires, rims, and brakes. I'll add an IRS after that and lastly put the motor and 6 speed in.

Kinda different route, but if it handles and turns and stops I can still have a blast at MidOhio Raceway and feel much safer having strenghthed the chassis. I feel a rush at the drags no matter how fast or slow the car goes. Besides I'm an ametuer autocrosser so perhaps learing to drive in a slower six and then getting the track and car down, I can do it with the higher hp later and more confidently having learned the ins and outs of my car and the road course.
