Default New To The LS1 Tradition

Hey guys! I just graduated college and got myself a job and said.... HEY! I need a nice car now. Isn't that the next step? Well I always saw myself as an import guy and figured I'd end up with a turbo four banger somewhere down the road. Not to say that won't happen in the future given these crazy gas prices, but for now... I'm a V8 man.

Always wanted a GTO/Monaro before they even came to the US. Searched around Bloomington for one with low mileage and stick. I found one on Cars.com that was marked down and next thing I knew I was driving it off the lot.

Of all the cars I thought I would own I researched the hell out of them. The one car I ended up doing the least amount of research on is now the car I own.

HELP ME OUT GUYS!!! THANKS!!!

'Congrats. Did you have any specific questions about the car? These things were born ready to rock and roll so you shouldn't have many issues, if any...

Hell yeah I got lots of questions...

The thing is I scored an awesome factory warranty PLUS an extended 5 year bumper to bumper on this baby so I can't do TOO much to it right now. I know I want to get that skip shift eliminator and the DiabloSport II, but other then that I'm not sure what else I can do. Sway bars? Springs? Not sure where I should start. haha If I had bought a VR-4 like I had always wanted, I'd know exactly where to start, but like I said... I know very little about the GTO except that I love the **** out of it.

Any points in the right direction would be awesome.

shouldn't have a problem throwing a nice mid-pipe/catback setup on it. Cold air usually sin't a prob either. Get some sweeet wheels with some lowering springs. should be good to go for a while i would say.
