Greetings, I recently picked up a bone stock, one owner garaged 2005 (red w/ red leather, stick) and loving it so far. Will not be a daily driver and will not be raced or tracked, but I'm impressed with the power and the ride and general comfort. I have read a few things bytching about the handling but I travel some decently curvy and hilly backroads and I think it's great.
Immediate concerns:
Car only came with one key, so I'm curious the best way of getting a spare? Obviously no Pontiac dealers around....
And the exhaust- Good Lord it's QUIET! Way too quiet for 400 HP, so need to upgrade that. Full systems sure are pricey, looks like anywhere from $650 for stuff I've never heard of (but look nice) to over $1,000 for Borla and MagnaFlow, both of which I have on other vehicles and have been really happy with. Nearly 10% of the cost of the car seems kinda up there.....
What do people here like?
