To each his own, but I can't drive a Corvette that sounds like an Accord.
I sold my '99 H/C coupe (bought it stock in 2000) a couple months back for $21K cash and its was faster and sexier the day I sold it than the day I got it. Just wish I could have bought it for $21K as it sits!
I'm now looking for a highly modded C6 Z06 or ZR1 so I can buy the mods for pennies on the dollar. My only requirement is that they meet me at a dyno so I can watch and hear it spin at full throttle (my treat of course). I'll let the dyno be the judge...

And, when I talked to them a couple weeks ago they were interested because it is a Corvette, even if it is more than 10 years old.

I have done a few mods that have improved on the stock car. I don't plan on selling my car, put if I did the mods would not take away from the value of the car. I do agree some people go over the top with their mods. I would put this car up against any stock car, and it would hold its own.

vettemanjack,although i considered chroming my wagon wheels, i
left them painted.I have heard a lot of bad things about chrome plating aluminum parts,peeling etc Had a motorcycle years back that I had to change the wheels 4 times because of bubbling(finally sold it got so tired of bringing it back to dealer..Would however consider a really clean set of chrome Zo6 wheels.
