But, as Lantana stated, if you have the knowledge, and do most of the work yourself, you come out with a unique car, with some good HP....Not putting down what people can do if talented enough, but most aren't....just my take on it...
Some good points... For the guys that know what they are doing, I bet they would say selling the car and buying an SRT just wouldn't be fun. You just can't replace that feeling of accomplishment when you take on a challenging project that is successful. Also I could not have sold my car and bought an SRT for what I did my V8 for. If you have to pay someone to boost the n/a V6 or do an engine swap, then buying an SRT still makes the most sense.
