Dean,

My assembled rolling chassis with the Trigo 15" knock-off wheels, M/T tyres, Steering wheel and LSD with hardened gearset owes me just under $39K (that included the freight to get it to me).

I'm going to be running a new LSA supercharged 6.2. The overall complete cost of the LSA, transmission and engine controller package (believe it or not) is the same in the end as an vanilla LS3, trans and engine controller combo.

I'm buying the Pace comprehensive package using all new parts. The car on the road including engineering should cost approx. $75K complete with trimming and engineering, less paint.

Even though I own a bodyshop and will paint the car myself, I'm allowing $8-10K for paint (my body was one of the early ones and while the body is generally awesome, it still needs some bodywork/shaping before it can receive topcoat).

So...if you budget $85K all up, you should be good.

Cheers,
Sime
