Dude, I've been thinking about your dilemma and going over your older threads as well as the videos you've posted. You seem to like straight-line horsepower, 0-60 runs and the ability to smoke the tires at will. Maybe I have a couple of possibilities for you...

Ha, Sell the box, buy a junker trans am and put a new $12,000 engine in it from jegs. Youd have a grand total of $12,400 (not including labor, but its an american car so thatd be like 400 bucks for everything at any mechanic nation wide, so really $12,800) and you can do burnouts and straight line stuff all day.

i like those GTOs as well, but i personally wouldn't get one, i would rather get a C5 than a goat.
i htink the best bang for the buck, and you will have plenty of it left t stick a twin turbo in, is a late model LS1 camaro or trans am, those things are so cheap to mod and there are a lot of them out there to choose from.
just go to ls1tech.com and check it out for youself.
the only car so far that ever made me wanna go puke and made my stomach hurt was a lingenfelter camaro, no joke that was by far the scariest car i ever been in.

Seriously those last 2 youtube videos are all you need if you want burnouts!
IF you want 400hp you should get a used vette, for the price thats your best choice. GTO's look like every other pontiac out there, and you'll see 16 year old kids driving them and kids in subarus trying to race you at EVERY stop light, thats probably not what you want in the long term.
