beautiful car.....only thing you may already know is these beasts respond VERY well to mods...some quick mods to consider are
Lower springs, NEW LCA and Adjustable UCA
FRPP Short throw shifter is a great mod

then Cold Air intake, exhaust changes and 2.6 pulley...
eventually you may want to consider new aftermarket heat exchanger to keep it cooler...cold plugs etc

overall most important thing to know is ENJOY THE HECK OUT OF YOUR RIDE and BE SAFE!!!!
Congrats and Good Luck!!

Congrats!!!!!!......damn you sure are a stout guy too!

Now the car.....break in the motor for the first 500+ miles....change the oil after (some and some dont).....try not to be too hard on the brakes so they dont get scored or blued. Other then that enjoy and be careful....
