I agree. Sometimes I regret all of the mods.

Since the engine is out, I have thought about installing a stock 3V and trading it in on a new Boss 302. Then sell the fresh 750whp engine and Procharger with a tune for $7,500.00.

I'd wager that a Boss in your possesion would have forced induction within a year if you sold your 2008.

I kind of regret buying a set of polished bullitts. I love them, but kind of wasted my money buying them since I probably will never use them again. I bought them in Sept 2010 and then I bought RTR's in March 2011. So, now I have my stock 17" and the 18" polished bullitts taking up a lot of space in my garage. Too lazy to sell them because I don't want to worry about the hassel of shipping them.

I'd better start saving ;)

so far main thing I regret is doing all of the "show" stuff first for what I have put into looks I could have easily went F/I. I don't "regret" it though because now I love the way my car looks, I just wish I would have done it in a different order...

That's the problem. I will end up getting bored and modding the Boss. Maybe I will trade the GT for the 1970 GTO Judge I told you about.

I hate to see you do that but if you go that route, I have cash in hand.

I regret the licorice dispenser in the headliner......LOL. No, seriously though I kinda regret getting Pypes Violators. I always had plans to do an O/R pipe and when I finally did, it is WAY too obnoxious. I should have bought a chambered muffler from the start.

Very smart move. I will hate on cams in these cars until the end of time, but of course that's just me. I wish I hadn't listened to all the people saying nothing but positive stuff about their cams. They were either lucky or blinded. When I posted I didn't like mine, people blamed my tune (both Brenspeed and Bama). Nothing left but a dyno tune. Who wants to spend $500+ to have their NA car dyno tuned?

Anyway, that car is gone now. :)

Don't get me wrong on cams, they sound bad ass, but u have to keep in mind the loss of drivability and gas mileage

And add $400+ for a gear install which will then hurt gas even more. Gear installs themselves can be a headache for some.
