In most cases the first change is the exhaust... Search the threads you'll get a 1000 opinions. Best bet IMHO is to head to cruise night of Corvette show and actually listen for something you like. 
Good Luck!

Cosmetic - new wheels, new interior pieces, engine bling if you like that, etc.
Performance - new air intake, long tube headers, catback exhaust, new rear gears, etc. Just depends on how far you want to go and how deep your pockets are.

I agree with you about the COW tune. I have the COW tune and booster on my car, along with XS Power Exhaust, Callaway Honker CAI, and Ported and Machined TB and now the car is totally different than before, I love the responsiveness I get now, my car is an A4 and the trans tune itself makes a big difference.

This is a typical DDaaryl post.
You say that as if there is something wrong with it. These cars aren't investments, they are toys. Plain and simple. You modify your car because it brings you joy. Not because you think the next guy will give you some kind or return on your upgrades.

Sweet ride you've got there Eric. I can see why you jumped on the black/red cover. I would suggest an exhaust upgrade to start. The louder the car is, the faster it feels. Good luck, and welcome to the modding world.

Thanks Kris and everyone that replied! I've been torn between Corsa Indy Pace Car and Borla exhaust systems. I have the Corsa Sport on my Avy and love it, Just not sure how it will sound on the Vette. Since I only had it for about 8 months now, I haven't join any car clubs yet to hear the different exhaust systems on other people's ride!
