Save it, add to it, buy a Gen5 Camaro, or at least use it for a down payment. Your current ride will be 9 years old by then.

But.....if you're dead set on spending it on the car...

H/C kit, headers and a tune. You just have to do the work yourself and get it tuned. Then, start saving for a new clutch.

Or give it to me, I sure don't need anyone else's opinion on how to spend money.

believe me, i know what i want to do with my money, i just wanted to see what crazy things people said. like invest it, i never expected to hear that on a car forum. note to all, this is not all the money i have, it is like a gift to myself so i can have some sort of enjoyment instead of just working all the time.

Is the car a daily driver? If not definately first look into headers, then a cam and tune.. If you have money heads at the same time.. Cam with all parts required/recomended (oil pump,timing chain, etc) installed and tune is going to be about $2000... Throw headers in there and your looking at everything installed and ready to go for about $2600.... Then save the other $400 for something unplanned?
