Just a few under hood cosmetic mods, Borla Stingers (it was just TOOO quiet!), exhaust enhancer plate (homemade) and letters on the front & rear. Would I like more HP/torque??? Sure, who wouldn't?? But to spend thousands for a SC or a turbo system seems pointless , considering I don' race the vette. 99.999999% of C5 owners have never taken a stock vette to the max, except for maybe a short full throttle acceleration blast. So why do they need more, if they've never used what they already had????Braggin' rights??? Let's see now....a race between a stock vette, where the driver will take it to the limit, against a twin turbo 427 vette that the driver won't go over 130. Who wins that one??

I have stingers and that is it. I have no interest in any mods., I like mine the way it came from the factory. However, next time I would buy one from one of the members that has already been done.
