Default 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 **** like that..

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

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.

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
