So new here, and have been a reading here for more than a year now. Finally starting to move on getting me a Goblin!
Looking local to me (central KY), I'm seeing a decent selection of 2006 SS/SC to choose from. Must have been a popular year/model, not sure. If I understand correctly, I wouldn't have VVT, but the SS/SC bottom end is the most built from the factory, and can get great performance with a bolt-on ZZP turbo kit, should I go that path (unlikely). I have my pick of different 2006 cars between $1500 and 3000, depending on if I want a driver or a parts car with body damage.
Alternatively, I can spend a bit more (around $6k) and get a SS/TC car, which I'm not opposed to. The one I can get is a driver in great shape, something I would drive as is until I get the stage 1 and 2 kits in hand. I'm planning on the extended track frame, and it'd mostly be used for street driving and some light drag racing. May try autocross if I can find something local, but not the reason I'm wanting to build this. I figure the SS/SC engine would be plenty of power, and I can always get the stage 2 ZZP kit (2.9" pulley, downpipe, 60# injectors, bigger heat exchange, etc) and run 93 octane and get some great power out of the car.
Is a 2006 SS/SC a bad choice, and should I look for a different year SS/SC, or should I just spend a little more and get a SS/TC? Also, if I went with a SS/SC, are there any other upgrades that would be a good idea?
Thanks!
