I'm really shocked this thread has 44 responses. Five years of reading about the changes or mods on vettes and there are still folks with stock rides. I thought there would only be three or four. Surprising!

Not Stock. Stock is boring and slow to me. Mods, mods, and more mods!

Mine is sort of stock..I hate the stock 99 wheels so they were replaced with stock 00-04 polished thin spokes and non run flats..I have Lloyds mats, and chrome exhaust tips..Nothing else was changed in almost 6 yrs of owning it..

My Z06 is essentially stock. It has some additions ( I won't exactly call them mods):

Tint, shorty antenna, Z06 exhaust plate, lowered on stock bolts, red LLoyds Z06 mats, CLB, Skip shift eliminator, and Zip-tie + K&N. I may replace the midpipe to eliminate exhaust jingle, but that is pretty much all that I have planned unless I can find a Z06 under hood liner.

I'm one sick SOB... Today I purchased the Corsa (Pace car with Tiger shark tips) exhaust for my 01 vert.

No longer going to be stock... I ran and tried to hide but in the end, I found myself with a disease. And I guess there is not a really a cure. Isn't nine years long enough to wait?

Oh well as I can't wait to bolt that baby on!

I consider mine "bone stock", but it's not really.

window tint
Aftermarket exhaust (Nxt Step)
K&N cold intake
non-run flats
1-4 shift bypass

getting ready to install new sway bars.

I like my 2003 50th anniversary coupe just as it was delivered to Bill Heards Chevy in Sugarland TX. My sister lives in Austin. But I did install a small set of Graphics/emblem kits from Cyberdine.com and a K&N air filter. But it runs very nice. Only thing I would change is the tires, I'd go with Michelins Pilot sport a/s Z/P !
