Default Something different?

This may be a little unusual..but I am thinking of all the posts I have seen in the past ( best oil, best intake, best tires, C5 vs Mustang and all the others, Photos of your vettes..etc. etc. etc.

I am looking for something different that has possibly never been discussed before (if possible).

Can somebody offer up something different? This may be hard to do but I think it will be interesting to hear what you can all come up with.

Just looking for something different of course C5 related!!!!


Thanks.

Did you buy the chick magnet option from the factory? If so it should be located under the driver side dash.

Factory option code #Pu-55y
