    I'm just curious, not that I'd actually do it, but what would be the biggest mod to do to a 98 gtp with 170k on it. I mean it's in good shape as far as everything goes for being a 15 year old Ohio car. The engine runs fine and the tranny doesn't show any problems. I'm just curious. My retarded friend keeps trying to get me to dump a bunch of money in it. His reasoning is "All engines go at some point, so you might as well make it blow going fast" lol

    Not all engines go. Many times the drivers total the car before the engine.

    Make your own intake and keep on trucking and Take care of maintenance when it occurs. The moment you start doing serious mods is the moments **** starts going wrong and then your dumping more money into then you originally want to.

    Unless your friend is giving you the money to mod...his opinion on what you should do to your car is irrelevant.

    I know it is, I just thought his view on engines was funny. And I actually am starting the process of making my own hillbilly intake soon lol

    slap some headers on and an intake and if you think your car can handle it then put a smaller pulley on the sc, like a 3.5. If you have a stock tranny then be wary though
