Congrat's...as you can see..a happy car owner is a Corvette owner!! I have only had mine for two years now and the only regret I have is that I didn't buy one sooner. Have fun!!

First: Congrats! 
Take it slow for now but there are quiet a few mods you can do performance and looks wise!
Best way to go about it is look at pics of what others do or go to a Vette show and if a wheel or something catches your eye then you know your wheel!
Handling wise there are a few options too, but again drive it and see what more you want then go from there!
Performance wise, drive it like you stole it, at times, and if you get beat by another car and you want more or just more HP to suit your liking then you can do bolt on parts - then there is more like LS6 manifold(did not come on 97-00) H/C, LT's, Supercharger etc.
Just keep us posted with the questions and we can give you options and opinions and what has been PROVEN to work and as well, shot down myths!
Thanks,Matt

You got a very nice Vette and you will be happy, and like you said it's not that much more that you paid!
You will do a few mods here and there just be happy and don't look around anymore, mod what you got!
Thanks,Matt
hope you have many miles of smiles.

I would start saving $$ again and (depending on financial circumstance) buy another to "toy" with. Then you can have a daily driver and a special occasion monster
never too many cross flags in the garage! Congrats

Congrats on the new Torch Red Beauty!
Think you got a good deal on her. Mods? Perhaps cat back system and go to some rallies and events to see what others have done/are doing before you decide.
No need to waste money on what you think you want until you see, look, listen to the mods others have made.
Again, CONGRATS!!

Enjoy there will be plenty of time to consider CCWs, exhaust, coils, sways, leds and on and on etc. etc. etc.
