What to do?
 
Im curious what other V-6 owners have done to their cars that are looking to eventually upgrade to a GT. I have the spring mod bug that I get every year. I've tried getting stuff i could put on a GT when the day I can afford one comes.
The question is, how much do i put into this one? I never want to sell it because ill never get what i want out of it anyways, and I know without serious cash its not going to be fast.

Here is my thought for now. I want a blackout panel because the person that had it before me had star decals on it that the paint faded around... most people cant tell but it bugs the hell out of me. Then maybe find a not to expensive exhaust system to make it a little more aggressive sounding.

I already have the mach 1 delete and chin spoiler, along with headlights.

Stroke it and throw nitrous at it..oh wait you said you wanted to get a GT...uhhh

Things like headlights, interior peices, wheels, tires, chin spoiler, if you're just going to get a gt later on keep the Y pipe and just put a magnaflow on or something... ya shit like that..

Motor wise you can't do a whole lot..cause well..the parts just aren't transferable..

buy a twin turbo kit for a gt and get some manifolds made for the v6.. that way when u get a gt everything will switch over

Flowmaster 40 series, welded in place of the stock muffler, and a cold air intake.. It'll keep you happy.

Total = 200$$ MAX.

don't touch it if you want a GT. Why waste the money. you can waste the money on the GT and then want a cobra.

I would love to have a 12 second v-6... one day, just to have one.

Appearance and suspension mods.

Just follow my lead, lol.

stanley423 03-25-2010 02:35 PM

+1^^ I also say start with your suspension it will only help in the end.

reminds me I need some suspension for my ride. Maybe now that I actually have a job it may happen late summer.

drag_racer33 03-25-2010 03:26 PM

Only one problem with suspension... i live in duluth, duluth roads suck, i guess i could go lower by about an inch. Any more and my chin spoiler would be introduced to the blacktop
