12-step program for MOD addiction???
I need some help for real all I think about is my Z06 and modding it and corvette catalogs and the forum and driving it and zaino-ing it. geez...PLEASE tell me I am not the only one out there doing this!
No wonder I don't have a boyfriend! Who could deal with me? Can't IMAGINE what the married folks go through-how do your spouses react to the vette? Is it "the other woman/man"? haha! 'cause I am tellin' ya' I would never make it married right now with my "affair" with my Z!

I personally think the car is great .. as is. The engineers at Chevy extensively tested the car, so that all of the parts work in harmony. When guys start throwing off the shelf theoretical go fast parts on their car, they often end up with slower cars with lots of problems and no warranty.
I made two mods a Blackwing air intake (a waste of money, probably) and I tinted my rear window due to the daytime deficiencies of the electrochromatic mirror. I don't intend to make any other changes. If I want to go faster than the car, I take my motorcycle - it is much faster

Re: 12-step program for MOD addiction??? (JerryL)
Be careful with those "off the shelf" polished exhust plates, they may jeopardize your warranty.
Jerry why would you heavily mod a 2001 Z06 (with off the shelf go fast parts which I assume weren't cheap) and then turn around and get a 2002 Z06. I am puzzled? Don't you want to enjoy all of that extra power for a while, or is the thrill in putting it together? :confused:

There is no cure for MOD addiction when your spouse is encouraging your habit!
I showed the Z to the wife, grunted "Me want!" and she did all the paperwork to close the deal! :blueangel: And then ordered the Zaino.
As far as mods go, as long as she doesn't think they're ugly, they get to go on!
The only problems occur when we both want to drive it :cry

I just ordered my Zaino so far I have nothing else and I have had my car for almost 2 weeks. I wonder how long I can hold off before any major mods.
