I wouldn't change a thing about my current car, except maybe start out with the powertrain this car's got.

I'm pretty happy with the way things are turning out.

The gt would stay the same. The sixxer would have had F/I long ago.

Where'd you pick up those CS wheels and how much?

Really...That's cool to hear! My exact thoughts...Looking into a whipple as we speak...Most likely Feb after tax season...I've only put GTAs, sequentials, 47 mirrors and smoked front signals on since this pic

Would of picked up a tune required CAI instead of just the BBK and adding the tune later. Though it does look good and I haven't put in any mods that would require anything bigger. Otherwise I like everything I've done to the car so far.

I like what I've done to this 2010 so far, which isn't much. The 2009 I had though, I'd have done very differently. Instead of dumping several thousand dollars into a supercharger and other mods, I'd have bought the brand new GT500 that was sitting in the showroom the day I bought it. It would have taken me nearly 3 years to spend the same amount of money spread out in car payments, as I did in a very short timespan on that 2009...

I would LOVE to put the 2010+ interior into my car. Other than that, I like it the way it is... for now.

I wouldn't have wrecked my first one.

But I got an amazing (arguably better) car out of the deal, so...

I just wish my path to getting it would have been different (i.e. not totaling my first one).
