From personal experience, I used a credit card to purchase 3k+ of parts and fun stuff for the car. I regret the money part but the car is so awesome now. I can keep up with payments fine but I didn't think ahead of how long it's really going to take to pay it off. If you have the means, go for it.

To be honest... I think its a terrible idea. Especially in this economy. Spending the money if you already had it would be a bad idea.... Spending it when you DON'T already have it is even worse. I don't know what your job situation is like, I just feel like it would be a fairly irresponsible decision. Ultimately, its up to you though!

Re: 3000gt vr4 meets LS1 hm....

its a sweet idea, but if it were me, i would do it little by little, putting like 2k on a card or something and pay it off before continuing.. 10k to soup up a car is alot imo, esp if you are taking a loan out for it all at once. Whew a big decision

10k for a new vehicle is one thing, but 10k+ just for a twin turbo'd engine? nah. I would just buy a stock LS1 and throw that in.

Re: 3000gt vr4 meets LS1 hm....

probably going to be more than 10k

swapping in a good LS1 into a 3.8L car and twin turboing it would be about 10K if not, more....putting it into a car that was never even made to accept the LS1 is gonna be even harder/more money.
