Default noob here

Hey guys. I just bought a 2000 z28 m6 last week and am loving it. It's completely stock and first thing I was wanting to do is get a adjustable Borla exhaust I have seen for around $775. After that I do not know what kind of mods I should make. Right now it's my everyday car and will be that way for at least a year until I get into the police department hopefully here in Pasadena. My goal is hopefully get to 400+hp so I can beat my g/f's moms 03 vette and her brothers 04 cobra I am pretty new as well to the whole car thing as well. Lucky for me I have a good friend who likes to work on them eventhough his is a '68 mustang. Thanks for anyones input. SN tbonetomw63

you can get a used borla for around $400 in great condition, save you some money to put towards headers or an ls6 intake. oh, and get a shifter!! i put a pro 5.0 shifter w/a short stick mod on it w/in 2mo of getting mine, and i wish i had done it w/in a week of buying it. one of the best mods i've done. besides headers. and the moser 9". err...what else....lol......
