Default 40k mile checkup

I recently bought a 2002 z06 with 40k miles, and would like to do a bunch of maintence and checkups. What are some things I should look at?

So far I'm thinking:

tranny fluid
diff fluid
fuel filter
spark plugs
coolant
power steering fluid


Anything else I should check on? Brake pads/rotors are in good shape.

oil change/filter, check all belts and hoses, alignment, check wheel balance, check tires, spark plug wires, brake lines flush and fluid change, check shocks.

Air Filter, MAF (check if its dirty, then clean if needed), full tank of gas, I know with the older C5's, a bottle of Techron every oil chane to keep the fuel gauge working, then get out and drive it like you stole it!!

Congrats!
