Squeaking already?
Well I have owned a 2007 vette for 24 hours and its already in the shop. High pitched squeak coming from pulley area and ac not cold. Previous owner said he had the problem ( squeak ) addressed last year at the dealership and it went away. It wasn't doing it when I test drove it nor did I test the ac at 8 o clock in the evening in Chicago. It was about 35 degrees. Assumed air worked on a 4 year old car with 25000 miles. I've learned my lesson about assuming. Whats the diagnosis from the experts about the squeak? That would be you guys. Im a new vette owner. Hope its nothing major. I still have to pay taxes on the car and my business today. BTW got almost 25 mpg driving it like i stole it back home from Chicago yesterday. My jaw is still hanging in disbelief. Its like having a hot wife that never asks for money. Which fortuneately i have anyway.

My suggestion: Before you mod, take some time to get acquainted. Establish a seat-of-the-pants baseline. And of course get the squeak fixed.
As you've already seen, the C6 is plenty quick & fast. And lots of folks report 30 mpg on the highway with the LS2 in your 07 -- so your 25 mpg is entirely possible.
For under $500, consider a set of shocks.
And you can get a shifter direct from MGW: http://mgwltd.com/corvette.shtml
Plenty of other (more expensive) performance mods, like these: http://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog...135097e0ce1df2
