Default What is the current mod market like for ZR1s?

Just curious what the current mod market is like for the ZR1s? I can't imagine it's as extensive as let's say a Mustang but are there a lot of options out there for performance mods strictly for the ZR1?

I'm talking all the usual stuff like:

Full Exhaust
Intake
Headers
Cam

How does the ZR1 respond to performance mods?

I gained 152whp with a ported lpe snout by gkzr1, nw 102 tb, lpe cai, 2.6, gutted stock cats, and e85. These cars gain power so easily

Can you tell me what its like getting all this power to the ground? Does the car have traction on street tires or is it a wild, tail happy ride at 100-120mph if you've got your foot it. Also, is traction control always being engaged? Thanks for your comments.

I only had street tires on for a month when it was stock so I cant comment on that. Since then I've always ran 19" NT05Rs or my current 18" M/T. Traction wasnt terrible on the 19s and was very stable up top, I'd spin on the initial hit in 2nd with my current power on the 19s. My 18s hook much better and its a manageable spin in 1st on a decent surface and its pretty stable up top, I think the 19s were more stable but these are still fine imo.
