Default Best money spent on your vette?

What was the absolutely one thing that the money was best spent, on your vette?
For me, it is HANDS DOWN, the Hatch Vent.
That thing has saved me SOO many times from coming out to a BAKING hot car, and also is cool to drive around with it on, because your REALLY hear your exhaust roar.

My D36 to D44 swap. The change from 2.59 to 3.45s really woke my car up.

So far new exhaust, now it sounds great.
Next week 4.10 gears, I think that will out due the exhaust.

For me, a gear change from 2:59 to 3:07. My car now feels like it can be competitive in A-Stock at SCCA events!

It also knocked 3 tenths of my time at the drag strip!

The purchase price was the most and the best money I spent on the Vettes. Followed by new leather for the seats. Made the interiors look almost like new.

Since my CE 'vert is my DD, the best money I spent after buying the car was on my Sirius Starmate. I hardly ever use the CD player.

2.59 to 3.75 rear gears and a 2800 stahl. WOW what a difference.
