I don't think I have owned a car that long but I found a couple web sites that list 60,000 mile maintenance.

http://www.trustmymechanic.com/60.html

The second one is a little better,I think.

Well I work at at at an oil change place that does preventative maintenance services, so I can tell you the ones that I know. I'm sure there are others that I won't list that can be looked into as well though.

-Automatic transmission: 60k miles (I think manual may be 30k, but I'm not sure without looking it up)
-Rear differential: Every 15k miles
-Fuel system cleaning: Every 36k miles
-Air Filter: Usually every 10k-20k miles. You can hold it up to the light and judge if needs changed if it is hard to see light through the other side. (With you having a supercharger, I'm assuming it has it's own air filter though. There are kits to clean those.)
-Tire rotation: Used to be recommended every 6k miles, but now many are 7.5k.

Other than that, the only other major service I can think of is a coolant flush, but that isn't due until 100k miles. A few other things you can check on are:
-Battery (The stock ones don't tend to last very long.)
-Serpentine belt (Most-likely not ready to be changed yet, but may be getting some cracks. Recommended replacing when there are ~5 cracks per square inch)
-A/C pressure: Due every ~2/3 years. I did mine just for the hell of it and it made quite a noticeable difference. I did it probably when my car was around 65k miles and now it is ice-cold.

And as I've said, this is just stuff off the top of my head and about maintenance in general. Other stuff may be included, which reminds me that I've gotta look into some spark plugs for myself.

60K service would be air and fuel filter, tire rotation, injector service, transmission service (automatic), tire rotation, coolant flush
