$2000 Found, What to Do?
I recently realized I have about $ 2,000 I can spend on the C6 with out sending any shockwaves to the wife. Here are the modifications I have done thus far:
Borla Cat Back Aggressive
Halltech Stinger System
Chrome Wheels
What should I do next? I have heard many good things about West Coast Corvette? (I live in San Diego so it will be a bit of a drive) I’m thinking headers or something similar. Any advice would be appreciated.

Halltech Stinger System- Why? No proven gains
Chrome Wheels- Chrome dont get you home!
Save your money or send it to me!

Here's what you do. Come to the Krispy Kreme on Sunday, meet me (Sparky) and all the other winners, including...Datawiz (OUR STAR ATTRACTION)...if Category 5 Storm Wilma lets him leave and come visit sunny California!
We'll give you so many suggestions, that it'll make you ears bleed!!!
So, you better be there!

I just saw the dyno video of the young guy in Houston showing his lowered C6 with headers and high flow cats. I was in love...

Still up in the air on what to do. This goofy storm just keeps delaying. Maybe the thing to do is go ahead and come and then fly back if necessary.

If you don't decide on the driving school,the next best mod would have to be headers for the sotp feel,and you should have a couple hundred left over that you could send me for the consulting fee i just decided on!!!

Save the 2 grand to put toward your next new Vette!
I used to do the mod/customizing to my Harley's...but I have come to realize, if I save that money ($5K-$10K) I can buy a new HD in a year and I would rather have a new ride than a custom used ride. Same applies to my C6 Vert.
Disclaimer: Some of you guys have AWESOME custom Vettes (all generations).
