These are the three cars I'm considering to buy at the beginning of next year:  BMW 335i Coupe, Pontiac GTO 6-speed, MazdaSpeed6.

Part of my decision process will depend on potential performance upgrades.

I know there's people here who know these cars and the performance aftermarket better than I do.  Can anyone suggest some modifications I could make for any or all of these cars that are a) street-legal, b) will not void the warranty, and c) not be too expensive.

New shocks and tires I've already got figured out.

Thanks!

The GTO will have the most amount of  mods available from Lingenfelter and other companies like that.
BMW has Dinan to get mods from. Mazda... I have no clue, but i'd take it over a 335i which imo looks fugly.

Doesn't any kind of powertrain modifications basically void the warranty?

If you're going to wait until the end of the year, you'll have trouble finding a GTO.

You think?  I know they're going out of production but I don't imagine they'll dissapear off the lots right away.

There will probably be a few about, but finding the color/transmission option you want might get tough.  A good dealer will find one for you.
