1. One of my favorites noone has mentioned: 98-02 wiper arms and some good blades. Seriously.....getting a pair of decent blades to fit our bass ackwards wiper arms is a pain....and even then they almost always completely miss parts of the windshield.
The later ones have the normal "j"hooks (and not upside down ones) so you can slap on some decent wipers and actually see in the rain.
2. Also I didn't see anyone mention SFC, 3.T-top shades, or 4.the Jason Novak auxiallary input mod for your stock cd player.
My 5th through 10th favorites have already been covered by in this thread, but gears-preferrably with a stronger rear and a tune are must haves.

Biggest gains I saw at the track were gears, stall, and sticky tires. With those alone you can knock off a good 1/2 second or more.
