It's going to be stock, as long as i can keep it that way. I wanna throw some SP500's on it, and tint it. Then see how long I can resist the APS TT system

Congrats Mikey, I'm glad my money went towards a good down payment My brother is buying a C6 vette, so I know how exciting it must be.

You'll mod it eventually. Look at me. Before I even bought your car & was waiting for my bank, I bought $2500 worth of parts. The mod bug will get you in the end. Good luck!

You guys all suck. It'll be stock... I think. Its mint, car looks 100% brand new. The guy took amazing care of it and I love the purchase.

TS6- The car goes into storage on the 1st, odds are against you

Tuff - I picked it up from Cleveland last night. The guy has 3 66 GTO's and one 67. The one 66 I seen made the Z06 look terrible. The car was crazy clean.
