Good for all of you. I just turned 20 and going on my second car.

01 White WS6 with 22k miles. Showroom condition, and worth every bit of hard work.

Dude its your car. If you want to race it, race it, freemods, H/C whatever. These guys and myself are just trying to say if you have a stock WS6(dousnt matter what year) with only 9K original miles. That shit is probably MINT. I would keep it that way. Maybe a cat-back, THATS ALL I would do to that car. Its already a nice car, that you could bring to a show, and get respect with. I personally love seeing a bone stock mint WS6 at a show. Everyone has a lid, headers, 85K car,blah blah. If you want a race/street car i would recommend one with over 50K or even 100K. Regardless, nice car man.

I feel the same way... too bad... I wouldn't have sold my garage queen to someone who was just going to beat on it. Sigh... How many 9K cars are floating around? Why not purchase something with a little higher miles rather than a rare mileage car to beat on?

meh free mods on a 9K car that will probably end up being very rare and collectible in the future with the way Pontiac/GM is going...

My Opinions.

^^^I like this advise. It's your car so F*ck all these jealous people and do what makes you happy. Do the boltons first and see how far you wanna take it. I will warn you though HP is like crack and is very addicting

I F*cked up my 49K T/A with mods in sig and couldn't be happier haha If I had more cash I would F*ck it up even more

Look at some suspension mods too. If you really want to improve the handling look at a Strano/Koni package. Really makes for a fun car and you don't have to beat on it to enjoy it.

Nice, you spend money on a car then not have any to do anything with it.

Good for you. . . . STFU and suck it up. . . Free mods do close to jack shit, leave your garage queen alone. . .

Or do what ever the fuck, it's not my car.

I guess I "messed up" dumping every last dime into my perfectly stock 21k mile WS6........wait....ha no I didn't. Oh and I'm 23, and have only gotten the "daddy's $$" once, until I pulled out my pay stub. my vote says, mod.....and often!

You guys are right it is his car so let him mod it....instead of being worth say 60k+ in 10-20yrs itll be worth $500.00.

BTW just curious what color is it?

I think he bought the car to enjoy not as an investment. There are lot better things to invest in than an f-body.

I say mod away and enjoy driving it

HAHAHAHHAHAHA at 4th gen fbodies as an investment...

You guys serious? Do whatever you want with the car, it won't ever be worth anything as a serious collector car. Enjoy it. I can't stand people who don't drive everyday cars...we aren't talking about a ZL1 or a COPO car here...

That's what people thought when the firebirds and camaro first came out.. look at them now.. who the hell are you to say what they'll be worth in the future? you and doc brown jump in the delorean and go to the future recently? And "I can't stand people" who talk like they know what they're talking about and in turn really have no idea!

Mod it how you want to OP you bought it not anyone else.

I bought my LE and yeah I wanna keep it worth something but I wanna enjoy i too. What happens if you keep it bone stock and then go for a cruise one day and get t-boned? It is now worthless and you never got to do what you wanted to it.

Mod away and have fun.

Jay Leno says" Why buy a car if you are never gonna drive it." I like that motto.
