I just got back from the Myrtle Beach SC car show. Several Forum members showing. I placed 4th in the late C5. But there were guys there that took mods to a whole new level. It only proved to me that there is no such thing as being done with modding. There is such a thing as being tastless with mods but there was a guy from Florida that wrote the book on modding mods! All in good taste. Easy 200,000 in this vette.
I have a whole new list of things to do!!!!

This sounds like the ramblings of a confused man, or a man deeply in love (with a C6). Hahahaha. His hormones all mixed up, just look at that quote
You're lucky you are so liked around here Stu that kind of dirty material could get you banned. Later,

the other thing I fear...the delimma...
do I leave behind you C5 stragglers...and mind you the majority of Stuz Cruzers... for the C6...
...am I forever banned from the group I have supported so long...
Will I find new friends on the C6 forum or a bitter group of old guys who are unable to go back...

I think you'll fall in love with the z06 it's not just a coupe, i promise...but if that's the case.....
Stu, how about something more along the lines of this....

Honestly i think you should really go with the z06, you'll fall in love, especially as soon as you get it back from Lingenfelter or ECS with a twin-turbo kit on it.

nope...just painted over half of StuzVette though...
...I hate to think of flushing those bucks...
the only body mod I am thinking of is a spoiler...low profile
...or stainless steel bars in place of the Z06 screens
BTW...your vette looks great!
