So I thought since I'm hoping to be a new owner on Saturday I would ask these questions.
What were your first mods? why? What would you recommend for first mods? I know an intake and exhaust is on the list for me. Don't know if i should do anything before for reliability. I definitely want to do what I can to prevent wheel hop.

Are you getting a new one or used? Congrats.
Yep, cai should be first. I just posted my results from my baseline this morning all from a CAI Inc. I do have a Borla cat-back, but not sure that played much into this. Mike at SLP was surprised how well the car ran. Timing and everything was perfect for a stock tuned car. Exhaust for the sound was next for me. I just finished putting Pfadt racing sways on and those made a big difference in cornering. This winter I'll work on the rest of the rear suspension. I'm still deciding what to go with for that. |

If you know you're already going to kill the warranty and you're going to mod-to-race it, I say get the 2010 as long as it's in good condition and there's no suspected abuse. That puts you 8,000.00 ahead on mod money.
My first mod was an SLP Loud Mouth II exhaust for just sound. My second mod was a series of mods all on at once. They were TVS2300, secondary fuel system, PFADT solid subframe mounts, PFADT trailing arms, Doug Thorley LT headers, HighFlo cats, NGK plugs, MSD wires, Cold Air Inductions CAI, RX Catch Can and Hendrix Engineering 1400HP Axles. My third series of mods were HO73's hood, front fascia w/ grille, trunk + wing and tail lights. Waiting to be installed are the PFADT sways.
