Default 383 is a good thing right?

I know that for C4s there are a lot of people who like the car to be bone stock and actually get mad if it's changed or "riced" out. Is the same true for C3s? I have a 383 in mine and I know I love the power but will it be positive or negitive when it comes to selling it?

It seem to be a personal thing, If your car was perfect and had no other mods and one that was sought after then MAYBE it would hurt the value. If the 383 mod was done to the original engine, even better.. enjoy it if you like it don't worry about it. :cool:
