On one hand, you have a Black 1993 Trans Am that currently is having a 383/D1SC setup being built. This car, other than the stereo and clutch (motor withstanding) is bone stock, down to the suspension bushings and rear end. The paint is rough too. To get this car to a respectable overall condition will take a LOT of money (it's not THAT bad but I'm very critical). But.......this car is my original toy car. The first car I've ever modded, the first car I ever even worked on myself. But, this car has been cursed, has fought me tooth and nail with everything I've ever tried to do to it, including never running right after a head/cam package and a new 355 motor.

And on the other hand, there's my 99 Corvette. My newest addition, my dream realized. Potential abounds in this car, from many angles.

So last night I was perusing the Corvette Forum when I saw that a supporting vendor there (APS) was having a sale. Their TD06 Twin Turbo kit for the C5 for $6995 DELIVERED to the 48 states from Australia. That's $1K off with free shipping. This kit will put down 550-600 RWHP on a STOCK ZO6 @ 7.5 PSI. I first stumbled across it a few weeks ago and have been DROOLING over it ever since.

I can get this kit. But in order to do that, I have to part ways with (I.E. part out) my black T/A. One side of me wants to do it because of how much money the T/A will require to be where I want it and I would plain nut myself to have twin turbo's on the Vette. The other side of me wants to remain true to my roots and keep the T/A. Then the realistic part of me realizes that 4 toys cars to include 2 Trans Am's is too many and something's gotta give. Now bear in mind that the 383 that's being built right now and the D1SC that I already have will eventually make their way into the Purple car, so I'm not completely abandoning the project.

So, what would you all do in the situation?
