I bought it! Now the questions are...the easiest mods? I've had great chip experience with the VW, how about the r/t? I've noticed that it handles great but the suspension could be more sorted...also...anyone know of a cool looking antenna?

For N/A, the 1st round of easy mods should be cold-air (K&N FIPK is a good start) & Mopar PCM (the "chip" mod). A cutout before the cat (or gutting the cat) is another cheap effective mod for the track. Next would be a TB, M1 intake, headers. A good set of plug wires and Autolite 3942s (I think that's the right #), brass rotor and cap can't hurt. Accel makes a nice coil, but be warned that using it w/ the stock ignition might cause it to cut-out when things get hot. Throw on a set of Nitto 450s for much improved traction (especially wet) and you should be knocking on the door of 13s.
There are many other tricks, short belt, e-fan, relocate IAT sensor, battery relocate, traction bars, remove tailgate and spare, disconnect front sway bar, slicks & skinnies, etc. that will get another couple tenths or so at the track.
I'm sure others will have ideas on blown mods. You'll need some ignition box for this route.

For blown applications you should really use a stand alone FMU. It's expensive and takes time to tune, but it is the safest way to get "blown". It also allows a heck of a lot more fine tuning than the "band aid" fixes and plug in chips.
