Buying a modded Corvette
Some of the advice given to people who are looking for their first C5 is don't buy a modded car. I bought my car with a Procharger on it and several lesser mods like drilled rotors and Z06 wheels. The supercharger was professionally installed and it was tuned by A&A in Oxnard. I have not had one problem with the car after one and a half years. So I was curious and would like to hear from any of you who have bought modded cars and had problems and the other side like me who haven't had any problems. I think if the mods were done buy a well known shop like ECS, LAPD or A&A the car should be pretty reliable. Maybe this could help some people with their decision.

When I bought my car its only mods were a catback exhaust and K&N air filter. I bought it used from the dealership and got the extended warranty with it. My warranty is about to expire and I'm not planning on extending it anymore just because I'm getting tired of the a-holes that work there
. I'm not sure what mods will void the warranty but I'm not too worried about it anymore. I'll probably do most of the work myself so it could be harder to sell the car if I ever need to, but hopefully that wont ever happen.
