I'd go with a ported FAST. Or if you're into drag racing a C5 rear. There's always gears and exterior and interior mods. I've seen lots of VERY nice modded 05's. In fact I think my 05 is much nicer and quicker than my 2012.

Auto = Converter
Manual = Gears
But I agree, you should enjoy driving it for a while. Did you purchase the car with those mods or have you just completed the build?

same mods + nos
i have the same mods, did them all from stock, went from 362- to now 617 on the bottle... if u dont want a superchager or nos, then get some af 230 heads, and a fast 102 intake, ull have around 500 rwhp, also, the 05's have a weak rear, if u not gonna dig race or take it to the track, then dont worry about it, doesnt affect u, if u race it once in a while, get the diff brace from dte... its about 350.00 its a brace/cage that goes aound you whole rear, giving the whole carrier support, and it looks cool, i cheape alternative to swapping to a 06 rear, that still might break at the track... also a clutch, if it needs it, my stock seems to be holding up with 25k and a few bottles thru it...knock on wood.... enjoy and have fuyn man,,, if u didnt do those mods be happy...my cam ex and intake and tune, nos..... about 8k man... lots of time and money... oh and wheels tires, another 2500... man, should got a z first...lmao

And better now than later, as it will still leave him with an old rear (that's still functioning/not broken) to sell off for a few bucks as well.
