2k you would have to do most are all the work yourself. To find a good 06/07 SS will be hard. The 06 already has 8 years on them.
A lot of them are already have over 100k miles on them.

If you want the power, you really need to jump up to either an SS version of what you have, or drop down to an 04/05 Supercharged version and do basic mods on that
I would get an SS version but since this is my first car it means a lot to me. I dont want to get rid of it. I plan on making it more powerful over time!!
