If you had $10K to spend
just on performance, what would you do? I'm asking because that's what I want to do. I don't have the facilities, tools, or skills to do anything really technical myself, so I would need to pay someone to do it. Just curious to see what others think. Thanks.

I would use half on suspension/wheels and the other half on engine mods. Basic bolt ons, depends in you are interested in going forced induction or not.

Thanks for the response, and let me clarify. I'd love to get up in the 250-300hp range and then upgrade my wheels/tires/suspension to handle that.

- JDL Headers - AVO Turbo Kit - Vortech SC - FA20Club Turbo - Tires: 235/245 Pilot Super Sports - Wheels, personal preference. - Exhaust, also an issue of personal preference in sound (or performance), but you want to look at 3" units since you're looking for Force Induction. Also, do not forget the ever important post-install tune. |

Eh, to be frank it's half assed AWD.
The only time the AWD truly works is when the car notice it's slipping or when it's truly needed, 99% of the time it will be in FWD only.
