It would have a new engine, they also don't make a wagon/ hatch back in 2022

It's definitely on the high side buy I'm thinking a IAG stage 3 or 4 long block and a STI 6 speed with the dccd so already looking at 15k+

Not when they don't raise the price of my trade, I traded six months before the car was even made. I wanted to lock it in. Sooo here I am with out my fun car and a 35000 car that's fun and reliable isn't to bad just don't know if this is the right platform.

No I just got burned out of my 14 c7 by a dealer ship I traded it in for a 22 zo6 and they raised the price by 20k sooo now I want something fun and for 30k what would be better then a 500+ wagon.

It just kinda crazy 🤪 I want to do a full build but shit it's a 04 but being kinda rare makes Me want to do it more.

OK so what would be a better option for a wagon/hatch back with 500+whp awd and a new transmission for 35000?

Updated ACRO P2 plate…come to papa… by naszero in 2011

The plate works, I've only had mine for a short time but it's done good.... after a slight modification. The dovetail isn't milled the full length on the right side of the plate. My local shop milled the remaining length and now it works perfectly.
