My first mod was getting rid of the other toy to get a DLM Level III Bumblebee. That is what I would recommend to do first.

Filters and smooth tubes 1st, then do the exhaust and headers. That engine is begging to breathe a little better.
Oh and don't for get the poser mods

New girlfriend. Then DLM Level I supercharger (I drove the car about 4 months befor I had to get it SC'd). Back then, they only had Level I and Level INSANE. So I went with 1.
Future mods included new girlfriend again, yet another new girlfriend, one or two more new girlfriends, and then a fiance which led to a wife. In the process, the next mods were DLM Level I+ and then DLM Level II+ (which is where I am now).

First mod was the MGW Gripper shifter (The new "3D" one) next
Snake-Oyl "nose-scrub-protector-thingy"
The car already came with smooth tubes and K&N's, otherwise, those would have been first.

most of mine were poser/cosmetic mods...
replaced my dash/shifter/wheel due to wear & tear...
my exhaust was done, but if it wasnt i'd say that'd be first.
these things sound good with a better breathing system & a badass rumble. stock vipers sound a little weak IMHO

I gotta agree with the driving school, depending on your experience with Big torque!
I believe a third of every Viper built has ended up in the scrap yard! More power than most know how to handle.
You will love your car even more after you know how to really kick ass driving it!
Then the usual filters, tubes, exhaust mods.

I totally agree.
I would start with smooth tubes, B&B exhaust with headers and high flow cats. Then tint the windows and lower the suspension with an eiback kit by one inch. White out the front side signal indicators. Oh, can't forget nice looking rims. Not sure your taste, but I like my 19" HRE 547's.
Then drive it around for a while and get used to the car. Then you could get a little more HP hungry and change the rocker arms, new cam, and higher performacne Headers. Oh yeah don't forget to change your pulleys as well. That should give you about 100 more HP. Ah, don't forget to chip it. Do this last so you can get one that takes into account all of your engine mods.
If you really want to get hog wild throw on a supercharger and NOS. Expect to get a Space Shuttle liscense for that.
Hope this helps?
