"Seems like the best mods would be to lighten up the car a bit, and enhance the suspension and tires if you want more out of your base model Boxcars."

For me the best bang for the buck with mods is suspension first, and then muffler if you want to tune the sound. You may want to leave the rest alone unless you have deep pockets. With my mods I have picked up about 25 hp on the dyno with the chip, intake and exhaust, and with 100 or so lbs of lightening and the coilovers, the car quite responsive and it runs great.

But, would I do all the mods again, probably not, just because of the cost of the mods. They are very expensive if done right, and in my case the cost kinda creeped up on me. Call it a sports car learning experience. But its been fun to do the mods and like most, it gives a great big smile to my face to get behind the wheel...
