Just picked up my new '07 and want to jump into some modifications. Any suggestions? Its a manual transmission if it makes a difference. Thanks!

-procharger + good tune = spankin most everything; especially those buy a 911, do no mods and try to show off how fast it is to their trophy g/f...lol (@ $9,000 drive out?)
-heads/cam/intake/exhaust= bitchin sound and fast
-or you could just do exhaust/intake + good tune. @ 35-40rwhp i hear
bottom line = how much $$ you want to spend. there's typically an indirect relationship to 1/4 mile time and money you spend with driver/tuner a constant

I agree - you need to consider how much $$ you want to spend and what you want out the car? More aggressive sound, 1/4 mile times, street speed. Alot to think about, I'm learning myself! Good luck and keep us posted!

Depends on your taste. I have owned a few Vettes and usually the first thing I add is tint, exhaust and cold air intake. A few modest priced items that add a little performance/privacy.

Go to youtube and watch some of the videos on Vettes and Cams! I just post a thread asking on details for a Cam. It makes the car sound so different and from I understand will ad some nice power. My thread is called "Cam Help", you may want to keep an eye on the answers here for your consideration.

All great responses mentioned above... you have a couple of options here. You can keep your ride N/A or you can toss in a supercharger or Twin Turbo. All routes are excellent investments that will sure to turn heads and keep most of your competition in your rear view mirror. I would recommend finding yourself a reliable mechanic/performance shop (if you in California I would highly recommend Haddad Motorsports (you can find them by clicking on their banner on our home page or left on first page of forum)) and share what you would like to accomplish. If you decide on an N/A engine, I would recommend you contacting Tony Mamo in our N/A forum or by clicking on AFR's banner.

Good luck! Keep us posted on what direction you go!
