I guess it depends on what the budget will let you spend. In my opinion i would say maybe some headers or a little bit of suspension work. I have a set of bbk shorty headers that im not using if you are interested. They are by no means spectacular looking but they dont leak.

shorties don't require a new mid-pipe. you can use the stock h-pipe/cats.
i know there are threads like this floating around here, but like gtpony said, the next mod would depend on your budget. i would say go with rear gears if you can afford it.

the difference is pretty dramatic. the only reason why i didn't change out my gears with this car is because i have a turbo. i am a turbo noob but i heard you need a higher gear (lower number) to allow the turbo time to spool up.
try researching on this and other forums, but from what i have experienced from my past car and from club member's cars.... if you can afford it, get it.

stock gt's run 3.31 with an option to run 3.55. i don't remember the details of that part about which years had what. i believe there is a sticker on the bell housing saying the gear, right? can't remember.
the gears will have a much greater difference than the aluminum driveshaft will. i do notice a difference with the DS on my car, but i would do gears first if i were you. the aluminum DS weighs less than the stock one. it cuts down on rotational mass. i noticed that it will rev quicker and respond to throttle inputs faster.
the DS can definitely wait imho. in your case, it would be one of the last things i would do.
