This all sounds great, you guys are right, it has plenty of power as is. I think I might just start replacing things as needed. The chrome factory wheels look great from 20 feet, but are pretty rough around the edges. I was thinking of going with the c6z wheels.
How does the ride change if you adjust the ride height?
What is so great about the "TI" exhaust?

Factory Z06 wheels are great looking! Best looking factory C5 wheel out there...
The Ti exhaust is 18lbs lighter (26lbs vs 44lbs for a stock C5), sounds better, and flows better than stock C5 mufflers...See http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...06exhaust.html

I really have to agree, the stock Z06 is a great car as it stands...A C6 shifter will make rowing through the gears more enjoyable, a CLB is a smart choice, and don't get stingy when you buy tires for it, change out all the fluids soon and regularly, and you'll be very happy for a long, long time...

is it the traction control/activa handling light or abs? If it the first one check out this guy for the fix, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
Otherwise the only thing that's really NEEDED is the Skip shift eliminator - after that you can go as far as your wallet allows, but I'd check out an MGW shifter, that was my first mod, and they make a huge difference.

My oil pressure sensor isn't working right now either. It is registering over 130 psi now, which I need to next fixed this week.
But I would definitely recommend getting exhaust first. Since I got mine it seems like I'm giving it gas now and then just cause I love the sound

First: Congrats!!!
Second: Oil sensor is a common problem, don't worry too much about it.
Third: What are YOUR plans for the car? This will help determine the mods to do. If you want more power I think a Vararam, headers with hi-flow cats and a tune should get you started
