1) HIDs are gay
2) ^agreed
3) $800 is a little pricey for me for a non-performance part, but it's justified
4) Definitely. My next couple mods are looking like they are going to be handling
5) Wouldnt be a bad idea at all. Itd be fun to supercharge, but just not that economical or smart on a 100k mile car. Id find a slick cobra...that being said, those cts-vs are pretty cool

Youll get throttle response, but your def hard pressed to see anythong more that 2-3 rwhp from a TB on a bolt on or stock application.

LOL
It sounds like you want speed and comfort. That being the case, I would suggest you go with the last option on your list. Start saving for the CST-V. NOT CHEAP, but it will satisfy your desire for speed and retain a high degree of comfort.

I bid on some retrofitted HID's but did not win. Still considering my options.

As you go bigger and bigger with the wheels/tires, you are adding a significant amount of rotating mass and thus you will actually accelerate and stop more slowly. If performance is your goal, be very aware of the weight you add to wheels and tires.

I first bought a full set of 17x9's that I ran 275-40-17 on all four corners. That was good, but I wanted to add a more aggressive "look" for the street so I bought a pair of 17x10.5 and run 315-35-17 on them.

I have nitto 555's with about 20k miles on them, i dont like them much. they have about 4/32 tread left.
Im now thinking about just going with some really good tires for my stock bullitts, probably dunlop direzza z1 star specs, for all 4, + shipping + install it will be like 760$. I think the car would handle alot better.
And for lights i may just get new bulbs, do bulbs like these blind ppl in the stock reflector housing? http://www.americanmuscle.com/silver...ltra-9007.html
