That was my original idea, but the forum here has talked me into all these high performance parts.

I haven't installed much yet, I'm shelfing everything for the one big install!!!!

I tried. So far lowered and ZR-1 wheels. I guess I have more restraint than others.

Yes, and they've left the board. There are few who come here to read all about changes and new things, and then leave their cars alone. That's what I think.

My 87 was very original untill I totalled it. After the rebuild I decided there was no real value in it being stock. It got cam, intake, headers, etc...

IMO. I think that for some it may be an issue of having to have others do the work which then becomes a financial issue (labor costs). Then there are some who believe in a purist sense of modifications degrading the car integrity or originality.
Bottom line is what do want to do with it, and your idea of fun.
I also think this is place where you either want it or not, and if you do you join the addiction!

Make it yours

For me it is a lot like the Harley Davidson quys. You very seldom see a stock Harley. I modify my vette to meet my standards and goals. I want to achieve a level of handling, performance, etc. that I personally like. I think it is a good platform to start from.
