If you think that modding a Corvette can get addictive you should see what you can do with a Harley.
I know a bit about that. Most of my bikes including the current one is a sport bike, but I did have a 95 Dyna Low Rider for a few years. I wanted to keep the appearance close to stock, but did some performance mods. I accepted the bike as a cruiser not a rocket, but did not like the stock bike’s performance reduced to meet some federal EPA standards. I think there was even some stupid RPM limiter, but not sure about that. I did replace the cam and put some decent pipes for performance and sound. The stock Harley sounded like a muffled, baby Harleyette. With new pipes it sounded like a real Harley, a very loud real Harley. I couldn’t go anywhere without triggering car alarms.
As you know, some of the $$$ into the Harley mods can rival or even surpass $$$ into Vette mods.
Sounds like a beast! I also have a C5 vert (2004 MSG) and live on the opposite coast - SW Florida. I agree that there is nothing better than cruising top down in a Corvette along a beach front.
I winter in SWFL and love to drive along the water with the top down. The drive from Ft. Myers Beach to Naples is a blast!!

You gotta mod that convertible!! I did mine this summer (415 RWHP and 385 Tq) and it is a blast to drive!! Just drove it 1700 miles last week back to FL. Believe me, there is no need to get that Z06 when you can have the power AND have the top go down!!
