-nods with Darion- I understand what you mean. I've been sitting on a set of Michelin Pilot sports for a couple of months now as I've been looking for 18x12 c5z wheels to fit them. Now I have a set of 317 truck heads, and an LS2 block sitting in my dad's shop waiting for a 402 rotating assembly.

Anybody got a number for the rehab place?

I have the number. 1-800 modaholic

the only thing is the first thing they are going to have you do is give all your performance parts to them so that you wont be tempted. The point of contact for the parts donation is Mike I think his screenname on here is MVP'S ZO6

You should go back to school, that way you will have more money for mods when you are done with school.

Ok, so last night after reading/posting in this tread I went to the garage, mistake? I figured I should look and see what I have laying around that I haven't done. Its all little stuff but rocker protectors, fat rollers, stainless screw set for hood trunk doors, C6 ZO6 rear wheel splash molding. Man I need more time along with some over things!

Hi my name is Kyle and I don't have any mod problems, just have a really fast record holding 6 speed Corvette. I just don't understand why Im always thinking about it,researching parts, melting my credit cards when I find the parts, begging my pal Tirecraft to help me work on it more, sometimes wonder how Im gonna pay the mortgage and telling my wife I found the new parts on the side of the road...

What do ya think - Im just a regular car guy. No modaholic symptoms here right?

I like that idea cept each model has to hold their value for the year. Come on I couldn't afford half the stuff I do if I were swapping every couple years. .

Hello my name is Dan and I'm a Modaholic. I may not have FI right now but i do have this problem if thats what you call it. Started with my Jeeps back 10 years ago and never left.

I realized that no matter what i have i do mods to it. I thought will if i get a faster more bad *** car i won't need to mod it wrong!
This is why i have decided not to go out and try to get a c6z06, and just keep modding my c5z06 cause its cheaper this way!:

Hi gang, well I guess I am also modoholic....or whatever your trying to label it....I have gone the whole 9 yards on my C5....you name it...
T6060, blower, forged motor, rims, shocks, red devil brakes, RPS triple clutch, fuel system, CCW drag pack (custom) coil overs,etc..etc.....the only thing I havent done is the Caravaggio Wide body...I guess its because the old lady is on the edge and that will be the official push off....at least I know what to do to get her off my hands though...and I did all these mods to so save money..(haha)..cause the more I spend on it...the more air miles I get !!...plus look at all the money I saved by not buying a C6....I guess its a bad addiction, but there are others that are bad too., and there is a million of em..but we dont need to discuss em...is there a problem with 900 rear wheel and 800 ft lbs or torque....I dont think its me with the problem...just other guys with slower cars......yup,,,I am in some serious denial...but at least I regognize it!! Mod away boys...life is short, we never know when our times up!! and

I dont know how to cure this addiction other than selling the car, and even that didn't work ended up buying an even faster car with a bigger engine/blower and now modding the hell out of that... When will it end lol...
