thanks i love it every time i park it i always look back at it when im walking off haha cant keep my eyes off it ive wanted one for a while now. the ponys the guy had were damn near bald so i kept it original, as of mods the list is limitless. i wanna slam it, cold air intake kit, definitely some new wheels,( was looking at bullets style or 03-04 cobra wheels) port/polished block and of course exhaust, right now its got an x pipe on it sounds cool but it could be waaay better etc dont know where to start tho

yeah it's super clean.

what exhaust is on it now ? sac has a visual on the smog test right ? as well as dyno or no ?

viz sux cuz no long tube headers have a CARB # so your stuck with shorty or stubby, but if the headers are stock there will be a decent diff in sound when you swap them out for some 1 5/8"

along with a 2 1/2" catback it'll sound much better.

and yes, i'm all about the nitrous, you add a 100 shot and you'll knock over a second off if you can make it stick. get a spare pair of wheels and mount some 26X10 1/2" et streets on there, along with 4.10's and the smack. you can runs 12's that way for about $1300 including labor, just do the nitrous yourself. it's easy, i like dry kits for smaller shots like that. even a dry 80 from the NOS5115 kit will knock a full second off

nice thing about nitrous is , you only use it when you want, so it's all mild mannered the rest of the time. down side is going empty but just keep it full.

what gears are in it now ? stock ? check the door tag under "ax" m=2.73 z=3.08 e=3.27 but they were only available on aod cars
