Default Stock vs. Modified C4s

Curious as to what percentage of C4 owner have modded their rides from stock. It would be difficult to distinguish degrees of mods, so lets leave it at NO mods, i.e., as issued from the factory, and then a few very general categories...Just for fun!

MODERATORS...

IT TAKES MORE THAN 5 MINUTES (TIME LIMITED) TO SET UP THE POLL AND THE POST WAS DENIED. PLEASE DELETE THIS POST (I'll try it again at a later date. )

Thanks.

Paul.

My last C4 was pretty much all stock except it had some different mufflers on it. I would still consider that stock, just had replacement parts that were roughly equivalent.

My feeling is that the poll here would have a higher percentage of modified car owners than the overall population of vette owners at large since many forum members are enthusiasts.
