Still Modding After 5 Years
Just finished up a deal with John Caravaggio to redo the interior of my 2000 Vert. He is a super guy to deal with. During the second week in April my car bought brand new at Kerbecks will under go yet another upgrade just to keep it fresh. I will post pics so you can all see John's work.
The C5 while no longer the new kid on the block still can be a very hot ride. I may never stop modding this car till it's gone. Just last week I dropped in the new C6 shifter and ****. These cars can be bought now at very reasonable prices that should leave plenty of cash for mods.
When I can get a C6 Z06 at MSRP, John will have another top to remove. Until then, it is mods away for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I haven't fallen in love w/ the C6 yet. I like the interior and the power but the body hasn't sold itself to me. So rather than stop what I call a work in progress and trade in my current ride I'm just going to mod the chit out of it.
And since it looks like my extended warranty is screwed anyway, it's time to start getting serious under the hood

I'm always on the lookout for new mods - just have to keep saving my pennies so when one comes along, I can get it.
