New Vette Owner...
I recently purchased a 2000 Coupe with only 6,114 miles. After reading several informative threads I have a couple of general questions. First, I've seen many people categorize their Vettes as A4 or MN6. What does this mean and how do I decifer what my prestine black beauty is?
Secondly, the original sticker for my Vette shows that I have the performace axle ratio option. What gear ratio is this?
Last, my first mod will be to open up her breathing and need to know what air intake to go with. Vararam looks like it makes the most sense by utilizing the existing contours of the front end to suck in air but I haven't seen many Vette owners talk about the Vararam. Any suggestions?
This website rocks!

Hiyas 
A4 is the automatic. MN6 is the six-speed. From your question on the performance axle, it appears you have the A4 with 3.15 rear gear. This makes the A4 a bit quicker than the standard 2.73 rear gear.
Others can comment on the Vararam. I went with an '04 Z06 airbox set up in mine.
Happy motoring!

Trust me, you will see many opinions about the Vararam. I went with one and were very satisfied with the track results. I had the help of a tech installing it. I personally would recommend it.
Just do a search on Vararam and you will find many posts about it.
Great find with a 00 with only 6k on it, just got mine last May with 17K on it and I thought I did good. Welcome.

As far as intakes go, just get one. Anything is better than the stock intake, which has the most convoluted path I've ever seen.
I just cut a hole about 4x6" in the center of my intake and picked up roughly 8-10 rwhp.
So, get what you want. You won't find any that have really measureable differences in performance.
Congrats on your new ride, and have a good one!
