If you just have to spend it on a car ... I'd probably take your '04 + the $10K and be looking at the new Z06 when they come out this fall. Wise investing could turn the 10 into 15 in the meantime.

BTW the stock 01 painted rims look awesome on a black vette.
Especially when clean.
Yes, I installed it myself and yes it has the twin intercoolers and no I will never do that again - I lost more blood than is physically possible and still survive and I used more bad words that I thought I knew with waking mind. Never again - next time, a good tuner is doing the dirty.

Yes, he really is English. Talks funny all the time.

Personally, I don't think he ever has understood what we Americans mean when we say, "ricer", but that's another story.

Don't forget those 20" rims are a "gift that keeps giving".

In other words, you are forced to keep buying overpriced 20" tires.

Get the heads/cam and long tube headers and only pay for them once.

A&A procharger setup
CCW rims and tires for the rest
not sure off the top of my head what the procharger would cost, but hte rims/tires would be about 3K IIRC.
