Hello! Just picked up my first Vette, a 2002 Z06 with 41k.
Mostly stock other than Hurst short throw, aftermarket exhaust (will be my first fix, drones/booms obnoxiously), cold air intake (will also change - previous owner destroyed the original engine ingesting water).
Might look into lowering a little and swapping the chrome wheels, otherwise no immediate plans.
Welcome to the Forum, John, and congratulations on your nice C5 Z06!
If you check the C5 sections (especially General and Tech) you will find lots of discussions about cat back exhausts. (Of course, we will all have our favorite ).
You can also check the C5 Parts for Sale/Wanted section for wheels and whatever else you may want. I believe there is a member there today wanting to trade some Forgestar wheels for Z06 wheels plus some cash.
Best wishes with your endeavors!
