Thank your lucky stars that you have such a nice car at such a young age. Then proceed to drive it very, very carefully. That car has more than enough juice just the way it is, especially for a new driver. Save you're money for other stuff, you already have more than enough car.

Yeah, I agree with the above post. At your driving experiance level, I'd just leave the motor stock and mod the car cosmetically for now. New wheels, maybe an '05 hood (if you like it better).

Oh, one other thing to do would be a different catback exhaust system if you want it louder.

I agree, count your lucky stars, Im jumping for joy for a 96TA with 130k on the clock lol. But anyways. Id suggest that you get yourself a 05 hood, looks better. then some wheels and a exhaust.

So whats the specs on your car? Color? Six speed? Lets see some pics!

I say you drive it like you stole it, thats the only way to treat a fast car.

Ok kidding, Id say tint the windows, get the 05 hood if you like how it looks. And find some nice wheels. I know I have seen some bad *** GTO's that look amazingly better with those mods.

Save real performance mods until you can drive a little better.
