Whats the best mod for $2,500?
 

I should be getting a pretty sweet bonus from work and wanted your guys opinion in a what mod to do on a completely stock '12 GT?

Looks or performance minded?

I was thinking between wheels and tires or complete exhaust system. What would you do for either options?

Depending on how expensive you want with the wheels, you can get a set of wheels, tires, and a catback. I got my wheels for like $600 and tires for about $900. I also got Pype Bomb for like $300 or something. That all comes in under $2,500.

That sounds pretty cost effective. I haven't yet been able to make it to a meet with everyone I either work or the weather is shit. I want to hear different types of exhaust in person

A used supercharger

Suspension and tire. Be able to use all the power you have, don't add even more you can't use.

Depends on your goals. For a bone stock car I would get some axle back exhaust, wheels, and lowering Springs maybe shocks and struts

No question... suspension.

what about a tune? are you trying to keep your warranty?

I'm with this guy.

I second this.

Then maybe a tune, mid pipe, and cai

If he drag races the car no need to change anything. Stock suspension works great.

Occasionally street race but never to a drag strip. What would the benefits of a suspension have if I don't take it to a track? Overall ride quality improvement?

First mod I would say an exhaust. Just a catback will do, a quiet muscle car is a boring muscle car! Then some wheels and tires OR lower it. Both will improve the looks, just depends on which one you prefer. Personally I can't stand stock wheels so I would probably do wheels and tires. Throw some tint on it and you've done enough for now to make it stand out and look good!
