Who still has a stock car here? I am planning to keep my car relatively stock for a while. Plus, it's a vert, so modding it other than suspensions would be pretty wasteful, since I will never race it.
Anybody here still has a relatively stock car, maybe just a few bolt-ons?
EDIT: The reason why it's stock (even though I have a DD) is I am really tightening my belt right now to save money. The wife and I are planning to buy our 3rd house end of next year. So minimal modding until that goal is accomplished.

Both my current Camaros are "relatively" stock. The '02 is the most stock, with just a muffler, lid and wheels as the only mods. The '98 has a few more bolt-ons. It's been several years since I've personally owned a heavily modded LS1.
As for 100% stock cars, I'd say that less than 5% of the cars on this site fit that category.

I've had mine for about 9 months now. All I've done is remove the AIR, EGR, resistor the skip-shift, plugs, and some of the free mods. I can't decide on which way I want to go with the engine, so I'm gonna try to work on other things first. I'm fixing to start on the headlights and driving lights. Thinking about the LMC housings with 6k HID's, and not really sure where I'm going with the driving lights........
.........any suggestions?

Nah..I wouldn't really say it would be wasteful. It makes the car more fun to drive. Just keep it simple at first with a few bolt-on's.

I'm 95% stock. I could be 100% stock in less than an hour, since I kept all my original parts. I have only done a lid, STB, and a new shifter on my car, and I've owned it for 6 years now. I do have headers, catback, intake, and sub-frame connectors sitting at home, but have never gotten around to installing them...
