Default Performance Mods

Hello everyone, I'm new to the corvette community. I just bought my 1996 C4 and I love it. I'm just wondering what the most popular performance mods are and where I should start. I'm not looking to put it on the track or race it but I would like to get some more performance out of it. I've been looking at top-end kits and exhaust but don't know where to start. please help!!!

Welcome to the Corvette community! My best advise would be to post this in the C4 section. they'll be better able to help you over there.

Again welcome to the wonderful world of Corvettes and good luck with your new car.

The first mod would be to make the C4 into a C5, then it's downhill from there.

The fine folks over in the C4 side of the house should be able to give you some valuable info. Congrats on your purchase and hope you enjoy the car for many years.
