<strong>I would not worry about the stock value of the car. These cars de-value extremely quickly. I saw a 99 z-28 LS1 for $9,500 today in the newspaper (41K miles).

..apparently they can't give the cars away...
...so I say the general public does not recognize how fun these cars are...therfore, go ahead a put headers on the car....it won't be worth much soon anyway ...so who cares ,..the cars have no resale value PERIOD.....
You are not riding around in an F-Body to get rich on resale value...you are doing it to kick some Mustang ***...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah the resale value around here for F-bods is pretty damn good, and there are absolutely zero 2002 LS1s left on anybody's lot.

Maybe where you're from. There are plenty of 'em left in the southeast. I just bought one about a month ago. The selection was so great I was able to find a couple optioned EXACTLY like I wanted.
There are no '03 F-bodies.

My view is, if your modding your car for performance, you dont want good. You want the best parts that produce the best power. just my .02
