take it easy, get used to the car before you do anything to it. learn how it reacts to different driving situation, and most importantly SIT DOWN and READ the user manual!!!! this small act could save you allot of $$$ in the future

I'm not sure, but I would just drive it for a while. Enjoy your new car. Is that what you meant or are you looking to "improve" it right off the bat?

Keep your rpms down for 1st 600 miles, and as others have said read the manual. Get a good coat of wax/protectant asap, it will help in keeping that black clean.

Driving school if you haven't already attended. The stock car is more capable than the stock driver by a huge margin. Once you come close to mastering the car as it left the factory, then you can start thinking about mods. And a driving school, unlike hardware, stays with you even after you sell your car.
