mod question

How soon did you mod your vette? did you mod right away after picking it up from the dealer with 8 miles or did you wait for a while? I just got the bug!

I bought mine on Jan 25th. I told myself there was no need to mod and I was going to save money for more important things. Less than a month later I had my C6 shifter handle(thought I was bidding on the whole shifter). Just last week I installed my Corsa exhaust. Wednesday I installed my Vararam and I am currently in negotiations with a guy to get 3:90 rear gears. Resistance is futile.

I started modding it as soon as I got it. I already had the mod bug from my previous car, which was a '02 Camaro SS.

Two weeks after I got her. Lurking on this forum will ruin you!! You see all these awesome rides and think "I NEED that" and sure enough, you slap the credit card down and order. It's the only disease that's fun!!

Enjoy!!

When I bough my 1999 C5 (NEW) I waited a few months (until the NEW wore off) then one morning that damn MOD Bug bit me and I was off to the MOD Races. . . . First MOD was a new Exhaust system. . . . The sock C5 Exhaust is really "LAME".

Here's the results so far. . . .
