First off I would like to thank you for your service.
My Z06 has been trouble free for six years now.

That is an interesting question. I wonder if people who mod their cars have more problems. Sounds like a subject for a survey.

Mine is mostly stock... with the exception of Borla catback and HSW N2O kit with a good tune.
I think the more you mess with "stock" the quicker problems arise... but a good tune is the key

and thanks for everyone's support
