I got it guys! This is the way you should lay it out.....

Anything below 500 = just oil changes in my book
500-2500
2500-5000
5000-7500
7500-10000
10000-15000
15000-20000
20000-25000
25000-30000
30000-40000

I fit in the 10000-15000 range and I still have a full motor built, APS TT kit, and some kind of upgraded radio. We'll see where I land on this chart in 4 months.

I must admit I feel a lot better now. My first thought was am I crazy, I am way off that chart. I passed that chart on the 1st trip to Lingenfelter, not to mention the second trip, plus additional mods. I have got to stop.

Well, I just went through my inventory of mods to get a more accurate tally...

Power mods: APS TT kit, Comp cam w/ springs & retainers, corsa Sport exhaust, TurboSmart MBC, tuning, (Halltech intake - sold, Dynatech LT headers - sold)

Suspension/wheels: i-Forged Aeros + powder coating, PS2's, Bilstein Sport shocks

Misc. : WCC carbon fiber FRCs, Nakid parts oil breather, Z06 spoiler, Defi BF series boost & EGT gauges and module, (custom sound system - sold)

After adding it all up and subtracting what I recouped after the sale of certain parts, I'm at around $16,000... :o

I'm going to stop counting now...

I was well over the upper bracket ($7k) BEFORE I went to the museum for delivery!!!

I'm also very grateful that the wife does not mess with the computer or I could post a clear definition of a "kaniption fit"!!

Sure is fun though!!

Up to now, a set of rubber floor mats was my only mod, for about $75. However, I finally broke down and ordered a car cover, since my 06 sits under a carport, an easy target for pollen and cats.

Yea, I just didn't proof read well.

My vette is a disease and is very expensive.

I started off loosing about 4-5k trading out of my C5 for the C6 between trade and what I lost on my old mods.

So far in mods I have about.
3200
almost 3000 on full exhaust. The honker I have is used. I plan on having it tuned soon which will be another 300-1000
