        That would depend on the current mods on your car and your goals for it.

        A newer 600cc street bike will be faster than your car ever will, but also more dangerous and only usable part of the year.

        IF I had a stock 3.8 Camaro and $2000 That I had to make it faster:
        First I'd hope it was a Y87 so I had 3.42s and LSD
        I'd probably buy everything used to begin with, but here goes!
        SLP Intake - $150
        RKSport Headers - $300
        Straight Pipe - ? I know a shop ?
        Flowmaster 3" Catback - $250
        Automatic - Stall converter/Manual - Spec/Centerforce clutch - $500
        Dry Nitrous Setup - $400
        Drag Radials on Salad shooters - $300
        Lower Control Arms - $100

        Total = $2000 and I estimated on the high side on some of that used........because you still need gaskets, fluids, etc.

        Stock to solid 13 second car 2k possible 12s depending on nitrous shot and racing conditions

          Not to be an *** but take the $2000+your v6 and get a Z or T/A.

              i probably wouldnt do anything performance wise, maybe a nice set of rims, tires, and brakes.

              i know im going to get flamed for this, but i would never put any performance mods on a v6 camaro, unless they are transferable to an ls1

                    i have a 3.8 01 camaro...i ahve a magnaflow 2.5 exasut and lid...im leaning towards a cam ....but would 2,000 be enough for it and supporting mods?

                    im thinking about this cam..

                              I've got the GT2 cam. Total for the install for me was just under $1K, including gaskets and all. If I were you, I'd also get a used set of heads to clean up, or even have a machine shop port abit. Then gasket match the intake manifolds, and use the remaining cash on a tune. Boom, 13 second car, easily.
