and upgrade the PC, that's the final answer

I was thinking of adding in the basic stuff like exhaust,racing alloy rims, anti wheel hop kit, new shifter. Mostly peformance mods.

I know the biggest bang for the buck for my Camaro is a $150 free breathing kit. It suppose to give as much as 15 hp. Exhaust at close to $1000 is only suppose to give another 18 hp.

If there is an opportunity to upgrade the air cleaner/map sensor/etc. I'd look there first.

What about those people who never plan to vote? If there is a results option, every time they come into the thread, they see the results and don't have to press it again. Yes, I'm that lazy.

Car is the most logical choice. Why upgrade the PC, you just build a new one, "upgrades" are for Compaqs.

Having said that I hate you for having the CTS-V! What have you topped it out at?

I haven't really driven the car that fast since I live in so cal.
Maybe about 90-100 mph.
About the computer I mean buy getting a newone.

I upgraded the air filter with a cold air kit. Which I paid $250 for.

I'd say mod the caddy. Much more useful and worth it in the long run, compared to a PC replaced atleast every year or two.

P.S. Nice car...it was my dad's second choice behind his M3

I think modifying your PC would be much cheaper than doing anything on your car unless you're only putting on some cheesy cosmetic things.
