Forget the gears and the suspension. Go with the fuzzy dice and curb feelers first. Chicks dig curb feelers.

Ok, I think I'm gonna drop it first.

That way I can just replace the control arm bushings while I'm in there.

The car will look, ride, and handle better than before.

I am definitely going to get gears, just can't decide if I want a catback/mid-pipe first!

But I'll save that question for later......


Thanks guys,

IF you're going thru the trouble of the control arm bushings, replace the CAs instead. I have the Granatellis and they are great. It takes a few hours of cursing to install the things, but it was worth it. If you're doing the drop springs and such anyway...

I did the catted X/catback combo last night and it was very much worth the 2.5 hours I spent doing it. AND, it's a noticeable difference in acceleration. I didn't expect that. The install wasn't too bad and I love the tone. Exactly what I wanted.

Good luck.

you won't be disappointed with any of them, its just all where your priorities lie. i'll back up that you wont feel a difference with the catback, but the sound you get can be kinda nice. myself, i'd probably go with gears first, it'll really wake your car up from a stop. but if speed isn't such a deal, drop it.

and for what it's worth, i'd say do a whole suspension upgrade (as much as you can afford). i just recently drove a regular GT again, and while they do handle better than most cars, it feels loose compared to my Saleen, and there's still more i could squeeze out of the saleen! don't forget to not only upgrade, but reinforce! bracing is cheap, and makes a difference!
