Traded in my C7 Z51 for my '17 Z06 M7. Pulled the Kooks headers and offroad X pipe off the Z51 with the intent to sell. Realized they fit the Z06 and am going to swap.

Which means I need a tune.

Might as well get a halltech intake too, right?

Well...I hear pulleys are cheap?

I mean, I've always wanted a cammed Corvette, maybe this is it?

Damn, those procharged Z06s are fast...

I find myself online ordering thousands of dollars of parts. It's an addiction!

I never dreamed that at 22, I would be plagued with these issues

Also, I promised myself that I'd buy a C6 ZR1 as a 3rd car in a year so I can make THAT the fast car. The problem is, I still want the ZR1. I find myself browsing CarGurus nonstop. It never ends!

I'm not biting. No sympathy from me. Probably even less from the average contributor who is 3 times your age. Surprised you didnt mention how your stocks were doing.

Nah, I don't do stocks. Or real estate. Nor do I have a lemonade stand.

Was just trying to be funny brother, I don't see a need for hostility?

You my friend have first world problems😜 When I was 22 I had a Suzuki Sidekick. I loved it though. My first big transaction and my first brand new car. I think you will find a lot of jealousy myself included that at 22 you can afford a car like this. What may I ask do you for a living? I just want to let my son on your secret so I can get him out of my house😎

"Make $10,000 A Week Working From Home"?

Sounds like it. Otherwise it would be easier just to say, "I inherited a lot of money" or "I can't manage my finances and spend too much money on a car". The pm goes something like, "Buy these under my link and sell them. You then get a link to give to your friends."

You must be new here.

As for your Z, like others said, if you don't need a warranty, mod away.

Alright, skeptics...

I started mortgage banking for a large lender (it was a sweat shop) at 20 and saved money like crazy. They paid for 15 state licenses and I got lucky because I hit the sales floor RIGHT as brexit happened, so the rates were the best in history. I used the money I saved there to buy chinese watches in bulk and sell them online.

I used the rest of the money saved to start a supplement company, that I will hopefully be launching in the next few weeks!!

best of luck! sincerely. But I foresee the Vette up for sale soon. I hope your not too deep in yet. Unless you have multi million dollar backing trying to tap into that already saturated industry is a waste IMO
