Default Ok, what now?

Ok, it's out in my driveway now. A new, shiny, spotless, quicksilver 2002 Z06. After a bottle of McCallan single malt 12 year old to regain my composure from sticker shock, I am planning on a cags defeat and probably a Donaldson blackwing, what is next, leaving the motor internally stock for right now. By the Way, how many of you people signed up for any extended warranty past the standard 3 year, 36Kmiles, even though it is at additional costing. The dealer told me that I could buy an extended warranty policy now cheaper than in the future. I have till Monday morning to decide.
Thanks in advance

Congrat's on your purchase, and an excellent color choice I might add :) What to do next all depends on how you will use the car. Some get partitions and covers for the trunk holes first, some get their car lowered (I recommend this mod, gets rid of the factoru 4X4 look), some tint the windows. Others go the performance route with MAFT, injectors, headers, lowering thermostat, fan controllers, poly bushings, valve springs, rockers and hardened push rods, and of course at least one cold air intake system.

Then there is me - all of the above in first 90 days :)

Probably the only thing I would do over is the headers, long tubes rule on this car, shorty's save weight but make no power.
