damn that w7 is heavy, but sounds good. First off get yourself and intake and tuner. If you dont plan on supercharging buy youself some steeda pulleys, i got them in today, good 180.00 for power you can feel.

Do you want all performance stuff. This site has some cosmetic nice stuff, I just ordered $180 of stuff tonight.

Or how bout some custom embroidered headrests here:

Or get a CAI kit and custom tune like the diablo and/or pulley's.

Or just throw in a SC'er

I wanted these but my dealer wouldn't go with it. My wife bought the extended warranty. Oh well it will not be long where I'll have to draw the line.

I've been hearing that a lot since i first got here. Sorry, im a newb, but what is it? Is it a whole new 5 speed manual tranny with a final drive of 4.10:1?

4.10 is the rear axle ratio. With a new ring and pinion(4.10 ratio for probably a couple hundred bucks) your ride will launch off the line a lot quicker. The downside is that you're running higher rpm's when you're at cruising speed and making the engine work harder to keep you at 65mph. The stock rear for the 05-06' is 3.55. You should have somebody with experience install the new gears.

its against federal law to void a warrenty because of an aftermarket part unless the part causes the problem, so say you put in 4.10s and your o2 sensors go, they are covered, say you fry the pinion, that you have to pay for. 05-06s have an OD ratio of .62, so all you out there with 3.73s WASTED YOUR MONEY!

and only 5 speed GTs have 3.55s, all others have 3.31s
