Default $7000 bucks to blow. What should I do?

I am in the process of selling my house and I will be getting a good chunk of dough to have fun with. With that being said I cannot decide on what to do with the play money. Should I supe the crap out of my truck or buy a kick-*** second car like the SRT-4 as my commuter?

What mods could I do (or what mods would YOU do?) with 7 grand? Keep in mind that I use my truck as a commuter and don't want to sacrifice that much gas. But, a little bit wouldn't hurt . Thanks everyone![sm=alcoholic.gif]

Forgot to add that ma truck is an 03' 1500 with the Hemi, single cab.

Isn't it fun to have discretionary toy-bucks?

Choice totally depends on what YOU want: quickness, handling, bling, or some combo there of.

I'd opt for the Kenne Bell (KB) supercharger, hands-down. We've a KB on one of my wife's cars and it is amazing, complete with a pressure-bypass to minimize mileage hit on the highway. I like it better than my other street supercharger set-ups current or past, or turbos for that matter (at least on the street).

My $.02.

All the best, no matter what you decide.

It's so fun. Argh....New car or more bad-*** truck. I think I could put a couple of grand into my Hemi and 7,000 down for the SRT-4. Hmmmmmmmmm........decision decision.

Sink 7K into your truck and many cars will still be faster. I would keep the truck for truck things and buy a fast, fun and economical car. The SRT-4 will probably fit that bill.

personally, I'd get a scooped Viper style hood, and maybe a nice Borla exhaust. Wouldn't hurt to do a bit of underhood modding either. Good luck with your truck man.
