Modding the C5
As many times as I have to myself thee is no ROI in modding the car.
I still look at my car and say it is too much fun to mod.
This is some kind of disease!!!!!
The Z is awesome strainght from the factory but, there are so many things to do to this car that make it better.
Is there anyone else out there with this porblem???????
Man I love these cars!!!!!!
I foresee a 427 in my future. That is if the C6 Z doesn't come with one from the factory.

The ROI coefficient in modding a Corvette is a direct corollary of the applied quantum physics theorum of $= 
When applied properly the return can be measured in smiles, oohs, aahs and sometimes even giggles.
Go for it.

Modding is downright addictive. Especially with these cars because so many modifications and improvements are available for them.
I have promised myself that the long tube headers will be the last mod.
And no sooner than I made that promise, I have my eye on an exhaust plate, gear shift ****, front Z06 chromies to go along with the ones mated with my drag radials, console cushion, custom painted hood liner,
and the list goes on.

Is modding the same as "Improving the Breed" and we all like more horses

Theorum #2: The heat of the meat + the square of the root = the angle of the dangle, if and only if the ***** on the floor is constant!
That is the only thing I remember from my college math classes!
