Bought A Douche/Mid-Life Car...

I still have mine (01) but I gotta get down to Illinois to pick mine up.

I had a 5 speed but I got the last of the T 45s built in late 2000. I added a couple simple things from Steeda to get a nice short throw on the shifter and a shorter throw on the pedal too. The newer 3650s (02+) that went in had lots of issues down the road with their synchros. I don't know jack shit about the autos so I can't tell you much about the programmer and what it is worth to you.

The 4.6 is a bitch to make power with when your dealing with natural aspiration so don't waste your money on that throttle body. The stock intake sucks so what ever you go with will be an improvement but cold air is always a plus. And before anything else happens, get rid of those god damned tail lights.

Another choice to make is an x pipe over h pipe if you are gonna get rid of the cats. H pipe keeps a nice deep rumble but the x pipe typically makes more power, since that isn't an issue go for the H pipe with a healthy cat back.

Lowering it with a set of 18s or 19s looks good. I have had 17s on mine but 18s fill the wheels really well. 20s are usually a bit too for the body style/size of the car.

I drove a chicks 3.8 purple convertible sometime and despite all the detracting factors, I really enjoyed cruising around in a convertible.
