You don't really need to do anything to this car to have fun in it and go fast. I <B>HIGHLY</B> recomend you put all of your nickes and dimes in the piggy bank for the next 12 months while you learn the car, it's powercurve, how it handles, what it's strenths and weaknesses are, etc. This will let you figure out what you want and need to do, and, more importantly, what the effect of your modifications are. Plus, you'll probably save money in the long run.
