Default Miles vs. Mods

My 99 coupe now has 73,000 miles and I still want to continue with some expensive but awesome mods. My next wish and want is to install a head,cam and LS6 manifold. I know it could be fairly easy to find another C5 coupe with a lot of my desired mods and way less miles, but this is my vette. My kids and I are quite attached to our C5. When I bought our Vette it was stock. I did the standard bolt ons and some other odds and ends, but now I want more! Way More!! Continue on or look for another C5???? I will not go as far as a supercharger or spray, but would turn allot of my attention after the H/C and manifold to the suspension, wheels, new seats and such. As yall know, having a Vette and Mod Fever is an expensive addiction, BUT FUN and EXTREMELY GRATIFYING

Drive it till it blows up, then rebuild the motor with forged internals, and mod the hell out of her.
