congrats and good luck on your modding goals. There is a ton of good info on this forum. If you pay attention to what is said it can save you a bunch of money on future mods by not making some of the mistakes many of us have made.

I must have a twin then, since I have owned my C5Z I have not been to the Madison area. I was at a corvette meet in fond du lac last year and meet a guy who has a 03Z black/mod red with the same wheels as me but not the same mods under the hood...maybe it was him that you saw.

If you are ever in my area or going for a cruise in general, let me know!

Oh and post some pics!
