Does anyone here run stock?
Most of the threads are about mods that people have done. I was just curious as to how many people were keeping things stock.
I had thought about a new exhaust system, until I met a guy with a '74 that was all original. I thought it was cool to have a 32 year old car that was set up like it was from the factory.

I was good for 3 years and then I got my first drive in a FI Vette and that was the end of my days stock. So I went from a stocker to a Blower setup and I got my fix from A&A Corvettes, West Coast Racing, Xtreme, LPE Elite Engineering, ECS, GM and others and now I have a Sick HP car

Yea, I am certified sick now and next on the mod list is Trans, Differential, Coil Overs and some bling like tint and more under the hood and when that is done I bet a kick a$$ stereo will be on the short list as well as maybe some ghost flames, once I started it is just to much fun to stop

My engine is stock and staying that way; a few bolt-on's are stock items from a Z06 but neverless stock components (for a z06). What you could argue is not stock is my Corvettes of Westchester TUNE. It sure woke up this car and increased the performance level. Since i've owned the car, no constant problem codes or check engine lights, actually nothing but good performance. I love the way the car performs, any more power and I'd get into trouble, and the reliability is tops. I enjoy using the car, not working on it or trouble shooting problems (which I don't have now). If I wanted more power someday, I'd get a 2006 or 2007 and keep that basically stock too. I'd rather do this
than do that. 
than do that.
