Honestly, I think I am at a dead end. I have put on the rotors I wanted, the exhaust I wanted, and even a flame ball shifter. SO what's left to do??

Only thing, it can't be permanent or involve modifing the drive train. :cheers:

Suggestions??

Mods so far are:
Corsa cat back exhaust--love them!!!
Baer 2 piece cross drilled slotted rotors--jury is still out, but love them so far!!!
Sylvania silverstar headlamps--better than stock!!
Blue/black flame ball shifter--looks cool at night. :D

So I guess a LT4 hot cam and 4.10 gears are out of the question! CAGS disconnect, throttle body bypass? I just ordered some GS floor mats from the GS registry. Hardly a mod but they look great! :seeya

The cam and gears are out. I just don't want to do anything that permanent.

I forgot about the GS floormats I ordered as well, and I already have the CAGS. All the little stuff is on the car. :yesnod:

How about www.wheelskins.com ....They look good and really make the steering wheel feel better to me. Look on page 2 of my web page and you can see mine installed on my steering wheel. They now have the torch red color instead of the red I got with my cover, I am gonna change mine out pretty soon.

Blue and Red...Naturally the GrandSport colors :lol: If you have a red gut interior you can go with Black and Red ....or if you have the black interior you can go with the black and blue colors....Hell with the grandsport you have so many options..

Ok now I see you have the black interior...Wonder what the Blue and Black would look like or even the fore mentioned blue and red...?

It's reversible! OK, OK, you can buy me the supercharger then and I'll buy you the wheelskins. Fair trade right?

Sounds to me like it’s time to start saving up for an additional vette. Or perhaps building a larger garage :)

Throttle body, headers, lower it, TB bypass... man this is hard, no drivetrain and nothing permanent! What about things that will make the car better as a whole, won't hurt resale, collectibility, etc. such as a shift kit? How about reprogramming it? Ignition, wires, injectors, and plugs are also a good place to look for mods.

EDIT: I know it's permanent, but I think that shaving the door handles would look freakin' awesome! :lol:
Seriously, I'd go with the BBK 52mm throttle body along with ignition, wires and plugs, as well as reprogramming it.

Can't involve the drivetrain? Then save your money, you already have a beautiful car.

How about somekind of intake? Does K&N make an FIPK for the LT4?

Get a power-programer for the computer.

These may not really work but since you want the drivetrain to stay stock, there really isn't much. :seeya

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner!!! My plan is to pay off the GS as fast as I can and build a garage. :cheers:

THe GS is perfect in my eyes as she sits, and is an absolute joy to drive. I just need to get my 2 cars on the same side of town.

I certainly don't claim to be an authority on this, but I've heard/read that a stock LT4 + supercharger = boom :eek: :eek: It would probably be fun while it lasts.
