I've been day (and night) dreaming about getting my new car....

[JimInNY]

It's a 2012 GT Premium 5.0, 6 spd auto.

I clicked the banner here for American Muscle and found some cool stuff for this car, but before I go dropping a grand or two, I figured I'd seek the opinations (I hope no grammar police here) of those who know better than I.

The first thing I want to do is call the dealer Monday morning and ask how much to toss in the 3.73 gears. Next on the list is one of those Boss 302 manifolds and cold air intake kits with the Bama tuner, if they won't mess with the stock classification of the car at the drags. And last would be a Borla Stinger S-type Axleback exhaust.

I ordered the 2012 NHRA rulebook last night and will use that to guide me along the way, but the above mods should be legal in the stock class, if things haven't changed much over the last 25 years. :)

So, does anyone have any input? Am I headed in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Looks about right but I'd get an O/R H pipe and a tamer catback.

Everyone said you'd come to no good...

Thanks, but what's an O/R H pipe and a tamer catback? lol

I'm an old timer, I don't know the lingo yet.

I say keep the cats or get a high flow set. I hate the fumes of an OR pipe.

[JimInNY]

I'm pretty sure cats have to stay to run stock classes, right? So I was intending to keep them anyway. If the OR pipe eliminates the cats, then that would be out.

OR is off road. No cats. Stink pipe.

I know it's supposed to stink but I can't smell anything weird on my car (no cats).

I have a good nose. I rode in new 5.0's with O/R pipes and I can smell the fumes.

She's in the driveway tonight. WOOOT!

It reminds me of the old days, that nice low rumble as I drive along. I flashed back to being in the back seat of my father's 428 Mach 1 as a kid. Awesome feeling! :)

Tomorrow, I will get pictures and finally have something in my garage here. Then I might find it ok to post and ancient picture of me as an 18 year old punk standing next to my 71 convertible 351c ram air 4v taken back in 1977. I'll be embarrassed, but I'll do it. lol

Now it's time to go out for a drive with the dog and get us some dinner. I know, excuses, excuses...

Congrats on the new addition to the garage.
