I think there is a difference.

I would consider my car "stock", even though it has aftermarket wheels, shocks and a cat-back exhaust, for instance, but no performance-enhanciing mods.

Bone-stock would be as-delivered from the factory.

Dude, you got it all wrong! Stock is STOCK! Like in all original and NO modifications! If you've changed out a tail light lense, it ain't stock anymore! Technically speaking, that is.

Stock - as it comes from the factory
Bone Stock - Denial as experienced by a Stage 3 Modaholic.

You obviously didn't grow up in the muscle car era. If it didn't have anything on it that made it go faster it was STOCK -- regardless of how much aftermarket bling was added.

Bone stock was how it left the showroom floor.
