I Really Like My Performance Mods
I've had my '01 coupe since new. Went to ECS to have performance mods done about 5-6 weeks ago now. For the first time since owning it, I am looking for any opportunities to just drive my car. For the past three weeks, I've taken her out for a spin every day around our back winding PA roads and throughout Valley Forge National Park. I'm thrilled about how much fun it is to just drive again. The car is tight, strong and sounds great! It feels like it should have from the factory, but if it did, I guess I wouldn't have appreciated my car's re-birth as much as I do today.

Check my signature and you'll see I have the same new found feelings for my old C5 coming up on 60K and came alive with my new MODS.

Amazing that you can take something so perfect and actually make it better

You're a funny guy! I should have also listed my "performance" hood seal. But, I really wanted to point out that even a moderately modded C5 can produce some really fun results.

I include these as performance mods, as they add to performance. I'm not sure what you consider to be performance related?
