There is no perfect system. If someone really wants your car not much you can do about it.
LoJack might be the best system in getting your car back if it is stolen.
Viper is what I have on my car and it pages you when your alarm goes off and show you what area of the car that set it off. There is 7 areas.
It also pages you from 1/4 mile away. It also has a TON of features.

Congrats on your Vette! Welcome to the forum! Your going to get a ton of advice of the whole theft topic, so hang on for the ride!

Me? Mostly common sense things like, lock the car, cover the VIN on the dash, install a well hidden kill switch and always park in a locked garage if possible. hTH
