Not everyone there is into heavy mods. That's really where you'll get the best response.

If I dare stereotype, I think many of the folks who really take satisfaction from keeping their 'vette at 110% (and hang out here) also tend to be purists in regard to mods. Especially since most all mods decrease the resale value of the car (if I'm looking for a used vette, either newer or 30 years old, I want it STOCK).

But with this many 'vette owners, you have the full spectrum. I have Nothing against mods (except when buying). It's going to take tremendous discipline to not mod my Z06 :)

My only chance of resisting comes from having a full on track car already. "Father, I have had six impure thoughts of stroking my Z06 in the past week".

From what I have read, the air box swap is the best mod for the money. The Corsa Indy Exhaust system is nice too (sounds real good, I have heard both touring and Indy, and I like the indy). My car is still stock, but I plan on making these two changes to it.

Welcome to the Forum, the best place to be when you can't be driving a Vette!

My list would be 1) Exhaust (I have PRTs); 2) Air System (Blackwing or Vortex); 3) All the rest----- :yesnod: :chevy :flag :chevy :flag

Enjoy every mile! Enjoy every smile! Waaaaaaave! :seeya :seeya :seeya
