To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from.
My guess would be around 15,000? Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence? |

The thing that makes this tough are the wildly disparate roads to six conversions as well as the "fuzzy math" of all of the other upgrades up to and/or after the conversion.
Well, this and something a writer named Gerry Burger mentioned in a story on his 944, after bellying up to the parts bar at his local dealer to buy 951 side skirts and learning the price mentioned was for each side. "Suddenly, I heard a voice that sounded like my own say, 'I need both.'" When the parts arrived, he said he quickly stuffed the receipt into a big manilla envelope that said "944 Receipts - Warning: Do Not Tally." I'm also glad others are bringing up another side of 6 conversions that seem to be lost in the calculations: Cost of building—and installing—a hot 4 that has a reasonable chance of longevity. And maintenance. The delta is the cost of a 6 conversion. Also, a great building block for "car enthusiast logic." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
