What’s up guys, I Just picked up my first & new GT500. It’s a 2012 bone stock virgin. but hot damn do I love it!!! Trying to decide if I want to mod it or not. Any suggestions/ or anything I should look out for? if I do mod it.
Welcome and Congrats.
Do exhaust,tune, CAI (pmas), intercooler, tires, LCA, and a smaller pulley and call it good.
Lower control arms and get rid of the goodyears if it still has them.
And watch the wallet. This place will spend all your money.
Ditto on all of what HHR said. On LCAs in my opinion, depends on how hard / aggressive you drive it. Ditch the Goodyears for sure - even if u don't drive hard they can be risky especially if u live in cold climates. I got very lucky, as I bought my car in Chicago and had new tires (Michelin) put on before I drove it back to ATL. I had them put the old goodyears in my trunk and seats and brought them back with me. Wasn't until about a month later that my son noticed a big crack right down the middle of one of the gy tires. I'm convinced had I tried to drive it home with those gy's on I would have had a blow out.
My two cents. Take your time and get to know the car and it's power. Read a lot on here re mods and what not and then determine what if anything you want to do with it.
As HHR said we will gladly help u spend your hard earned $.

Lower control arms were a waste of time for me, wheel hop the same with a harsher ride. ...
