Nice step up!

The 1st mod needed (and it's free) is to lower it....

Might take you 3 hours as a weekend project with plenty of beer.

Mine's better just kiddin man.

i just made a similar switch (00 SS and 02 B4C to a Z06), i'm sure you're as happy with it as i am. took me a while to find mine because i'm picky (had to be eb or silver w/black interior cuz i don't like the mod red and under 25k miles) but it was worth it.

here's the write up on lowering it...
