What mods did you have in mind? Lots of good options out there for modding, and many more will come as tuners work out the bugs on new products for this vehicle. In general, the sport package has the right kind of stuff, but there is better quality available in the aftermarket (better wheels, better LSD, better brakes). Are you looking for street or track? Power or handling? Are you willing to make trade-offs in ride comfort, gas mileage, resale value by modding?

The usual fare is (in no particular order)
* alternative wheels (see Forged Technologies --18" better for track use than 19")
* cold air intake (see Stillen or JimWolfeTechnology)
* hi flow cats (see Berktech)
* cat back exhaust (several good options)
* racing brakes (see Brembo, AT, or for street use the sport brakes)
* limited slip differential (see sport viscous unit, or better the Quaife helical unit)
* anti-roll bars (see Hotchkiss, Stillen, etc.)
* other suspension mods, lowering, etc.

Stillen claims that the combo of intake, hi-flow cats and CBE yields an additional 55whp.

Good luck and please post your results so others can learn from your experience!
