To get a true feel for the car maybe you could rent one for a week and see how well you really like it. After market is still limited, springs and intakes are offered by various mfrs.

Size:  5.6 KB to the site!!! You have come to the right place and will get lots of answers. Also, be sure to try out the search function. You can find alot of information out that way. Finally, be sure to check the regional threads. There is a Dells Meet in August you may want to attend!!!

There is very limited options for performance. You can a little trolling in this section for some ideas.

There are only, to my knowledge, 3 intakes; CGS, Air Aid, K&N. AA and K&N are boxes which set on top of engine, CGS is exposed along the front of engine compartment.

Springs: Eibach and Goldline

Other than that you need to get creative.

BTW......................................

-cargo/passenger space
-decent on gas
-looks sharp
-2lt has a decently peppy engine.

As for aftermarket performence mods there arent that many. The cgs intake is probably the most popular. (I'm still waiting on mine, its stuck at customs.) as for exhast the imco turbo is the main choice and also the cheapest there are axel back systems also available. Dunnno bout you but if ya like the ricey sound there are other exhasts that caiter to that croud. other than putting in true dual exhast and other do it yerselfers thats about it. getting your computer tuned is also an option. For spring most here have goldlines, i have eibachs it doesnt lower as much as the goldlines but i think it handles better wit'em. BTW my buddy used to have a redline, dang it was fun to drive.

A loaded 2LT is going to be up around $23,000 or $24,000.
