I just wanted to say hi. I am the proud new owner of a 2002 black on black convertible. There are a few mods to the car and I wanted to get some of your opinions on them. It has a Vortech SC, full Borla exhaust, and some other things. I am curious to know if anyone else has a similar set up and how your car performs. You can see pics at texascorvette.net
