Thanks for the comments and advice - My first rule to myself (I know, Corvettes don't have rules) is not to do anything that would void the warranty - I know, some are ramping up the HP, and while nice, and tempting, although I really don't know how much more HP one needs than 460, I am sure that would problemize the warranty - If one needs more, get a ZO6/ZO7 - But, that' my take - Plus, question, how much more HP and torque can a C7 handle without chassis mods, like those in a ZO6/ZO7? - For now, my only mods will be the Hurst shifter with a black ball, and black OEM mud flaps - I really like the feel of a ball and to me flaps are a must - May do some of the things Glen e did - his is my C7 on order, so I pretty much thought of everything - I also may eliminate the thin chrome strip that runs across the middle of front gill - I think it would look better all black - As it is, to me, that strip looks like braces on the grill teeth - http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-st...JZCI6bnVsbH0=@

Male chauvinist guy quote of the day, actual question put to a male celebrity notorious womanizer with his answer - Question, "How do you judge if a woman would be good in bed?" Answer, "If she shows up." Warren Beatty - All the guys I know would pretty much agree
