Default Looking to buy a gto

so my gxp has been sold and im now on the hunt for a 6spd manual 05 or 06 gto, but i have a couple questions.
when looking for a gto is there anything to lookout for when looking at and testdriving the car?
also, i plan to take the car to the strip once ina while for fun and i do run slicks, is there anything i should be beefing up or replacing before i do so?
and as far as bolt-on mods go, what do you guys recomend for adding power? i already have slp lt headers and slp lm1 catback planned, what else should i look into?

thanks for your input

If you plan on taking it to the track alot, you'll need a decent clutch.

As far as the rear end, its hit or miss. I'm 100% stock driveline after the trans, and nothing broken so far. 150+/- passes.

I don't like how the LM exhaust sounds, but thats just preference.
