Bought my first corvette today

Been a DSM and 3S (3000gt) guy since I was a kid, flint Mi street races. This car pulled of the carrier barely idling, It was 101F in Houston, so much humidity, I was soaked in sweat before the gentlemen got it off the carrier. It's SUCH a beast. Wow. So simple, so right.

Looking forward to pics, welcome to CFZ.
Had to look up the DSM part. Big change in power to get used to I'd think.

Nothing like your first taste of some V8 torque, no going back now

Welcome to the C5Z club. I've only had my 01 Z since April. My previous car was a 700hp fox body though

Thanks everyone! Car has full exhaust, intake and cam. Here are my plans for now:

Lower slightly on stock bolts
Venom shifter mod (hurst shifter in car)
Stubby antenna
Sharpie Passenger Airbag "Corvette"
Shop Vac
Lift ramps
Lift pucks?
Catch can/breather kit
Upgraded headlights

More of a shopping list since I've lost some of my garage stuff since I moved. Any other good simple mods to be aware of?

My research shows outside of heads the only other power mods to do are manifold/throttle body, but that's a big investment for ~20 hp. Any advice?
