Thank the Almighty.
Once it's home safe in my garage, I'd celebrate like it's 1999.

Slap myself or have someone slap me silly. :fish:

And eventually back to this... :ranger:

I think with a car like this...especially a new design, at least for me, it will be best to have the car for a little while before modifying. I want to enjoy the car for why I fell in love with it, both engine and the lines of the car. Then over time maybe tweak something here or there...cosmetically or performance wise. Maybe add CF where it makes sense and isn't offered by GM, like the rear diffuser or the rear spoiler. Performance wise, it will be plenty fast enough for me. I have owned exotics and never have touched engines, but tweaks to cosmetics...tastefully done is what I mainly go for.

The first thing I thought about was those sexy LED/light pipe curves in the headlights. I'm really hoping those are driven by an externally-accessable bulb (no baking the headlights to get to etc etc) so I can replace them with even brighter RGB ones. I'd still run white most of the time, but I'm thinking red on red would look sick!

Some more carbon fiber touches would be a nice thing.

The RGB would be a good touch to the car, maybe run that into some grille lighting for that cool show effect.

Cold air intake, Ported TB, Exhaust, Agressive tune, skip shift eliminator, and other bolt ons. I want... I need 500RWHP/500RWTQ. And the Lt1 was built for boost... So... BLOWER! :sad:

And cosmetic mods too... It is after all... A space ship..

CAI, Exhaust, (depending on what the stock system sounds like), Skip Shift, (if needed), AFM delete, (once again depending on my perception of need at the time).

I'll just drive it until I get exhausted. Then sleep in it. Dragstrip for tune & test night the following day might be a good idea
