Can't Decide What I Really Want To Do...

Okay, so I am really uncertain of what I want to end up doing in the long run (in the next year). So I figured I'd put a poll together with a sufficient number of ideas I am trying to think of choosing from.


DON'T FORGET TO VOTE! I HATE PEOPLE JUST REPLYING AND NOT VOTING!

Sky and Solstice will be nice once supply isn't a problem. Until then, they are too expensive and too much hassle to get in my opinion. You'll have less money in the IRL even after the twincharge kit, I'd hope. You're down south so it doesn't matter much, but for a lot of us up 'nort, the solstice isn't an option as a primary vehicle.

Down south? I live about an hour north of Cincinnati! The winters here suck almost as bad...actually, it hasn't been too snowy the past couple years. Couple big storms during the winter, other than that just cold as hell. But if I got the SKY, never would get the solstice, I would get a hardtop shell for it to keep the cold out.

Also, if I go with a twincharge, I'd get side mount intercoolers like Supras and Turbo eclipses have and put it in the passanger side wheel well and keep my big LFP HE since that is the last hope of cooling the air down. Plus I think the water to air intercooler will be really effective seeing as how hot air can be lately in OH so it probably wouldn't cool the air too much in a big FMIC for a year round car.

I was wondering if there was a way to take aprt the engine in the car now and beef it up and make it bigger then twin charge it....I'd be curious how much hp you could get out of the engine. Yes I have seen the 900hp beast that someone has done, but that is huge money.....I was just thinking an engine build and then either the sc or a turbo set up for like 500hp or so.....anyone think it's possible?

I don't think you can go wrong with any twincharge kit. For daily driving, it should be more than powerful enough with seemingly great efficiency and reliability. The striaght turbo kit would be fun for even higher power outputs, but might not be too fun in the snow. And if you were able to pick up a sky RL, and build it up (probably with a bigger turbo first, aren't they pushing something like 19psi stock?) or build up a 2.4 with the Hahn kits. I'm not sure which route you really wanna go, but my vote is for the twincharging, because I love my car too much to get rid of it, I'd rather just make it faster with the snail and blower.
