i did my plugs/wires when I did the LT's so I'm not sure how much of a pain it would be to do with the stock ****. Just do the LT's before your trip. It helps gas milage

Me and a few friends are taking a road trip on spring break also from New Jersey to Florida, i would suggest not to get speeding tickets lol but besides that just change your oil and rotate your tires like you said. Bring a spare tire or a plug kit just incase. Good Luck! maybe ill see u on the way there lol

i took my Z28 from MN to VA for work just because i wanted to ride in style
haha i got 28mpg and no issues to speak of. I'd change the fluid in the rear before you leave maybe unless it's been done recently. Then oil, rotate tires, plugs wires if they haven't been done in a while. Fill up washer fluid and enjoy the drive i'm gonna have a job in Indianapolis sometime this summer and may take the Vette
