New Orleans Z! With some pics.

Hi everybody.
Been reading for a while and decided to register because sometimes I have questions.
I bought a 1998 Z28 about a year ago from a dealer that said they bought it at an auction in Florida. It had a little over 78k miles on it.
I'm curious to see if there are mods that I don't or can't recognize like Hypertech mods, chips, etc. So I'm looking around and open to suggestions.
The only mods I recognize are #1 the lid and K&N filter, #2 I'm pretty sure that’s a Fast Toys Ram Air Kit in front, #3 It's been lowered with Eibach Springs, and #4 the C5 17" 5 spoke wheels and low pros. The only mods I made are painting the calipers and installing the throttle body coolant by-pass kit.
I'm married with children so my hobbies run the age spectrum from 4 to 40.

See ya-all in there

Here are some pics.

Fast Toys Ram Air? Or stock?

Is this stock exhaust?

Welcome aboard looks like a pretty nice Z! I' m also kinda partial to black though...

And for all you Louisiana members, check out the GSFCC, my wife and I are both members. It' s a rapidly growing club with a lot of great people. We host a cruise night at the Cajun Jukebox Diner on Williams Blvd. near the airport. You can find all the detail on our site and message forum. We hope to see ya' ll soon!
