Wrong. Insurance on a c5z is cheaper than my alero by $30 a month, get a quote.. And they can push 26+ mpg . You don't see many modded aleros because most are owned by teenage girls, and there are many more cost effective cars to mod.

Its not who NEEDS 500 hp, its who WANTS 500 on the street, this is America after all (most of us). Who really NEEDS a modded car anyways?

Most vettes are owned by older people, so what? I ain't prejudiced

but me, my car will have alot of money in it, one day. with everything right now, im close to 13,000.

The main reason for that price is because we have to undo the "bleh" that GM put in the car since it wasn't intended to be a sports car. If it wasn't for that and it had a set of engines with parts readily available, it wouldn't be so expensive.

lol, yeah, really. If somebody sends me $25,000, I'll supercharge 10 Aleros.

(exhaust mods not included )

ive priced out a bunch of things for a full on build, 50/50 if the car would be streetable depending on the route id go

You can have your choice of C5s between 10-15k

It's way more unique.... Plus, I find driving my C5 kinda boring sometimes. Goes back to that saying that it's more fun driving a lower performance car at 90% than driving a high performance car at 25%

That would have to be a more relative question.. Of course you can get to 500 HP cheaper when you're starting out with 350.

My (mostly stock) LS1 gets about 28 on the highway. I wouldn't suspect that would be much different if it were turbocharged. (572HP@7psi)

I have put alot of blood,sweat,and tears,and money into it keeping it running and looking good over the years. Ive been through the dreaded head gasket problems,the LIM gasket leak,constant header leaks,wiring problems,etc etc.. But i still would rather spend money on my Alero to make it better.

That's what counts right there!

That's the truth.. My C5 is dirt cheap to insure!
