No mods yet, but coming up soon hopefully. However, every part you can think of has been replaced in the engine bay. New water pump, shaved heads, new valves, felpro head gasket (recently), distributor and moroso wires, master cylinder, high pressure oil pump, etc (basically things that "should" be replaced due to age).
I'm hoping to replace the shocks with a set of bilsteins soon as well as some new tires (hoping for Eagle F1 or GT tires for when it's warmer).
and another possibility is a new exhaust system.

We haven't had the financial stability to do mods to it (i want to go for cam, possible 383 stroker, bigger TB, bolt ons and such)

And it really does need a paint job too. sigh.

Aslong as it runs good and you always mod it later but it drives atleast lol I know how much mods cost because my truck takes a lot of money to go fast and thats why im going to buy a z06 instead and is a better investment on my part haha

lol, yeah a z06 is a much better investment I agree. I'd rather have a C6 and my girlfriend keeps telling me to get one in the future too. But this C4 is my baby for now, and I'll take her to the depths of hell if I must. It competes very well against the local ricers as well as the considerable competition.

I would like a c6 to but I dont want to waste 30k right now on a car and my uncle is a dealer so I go to the auction and pick up a regular c5 ttop 6spd with 60k on it for around 12,000-13,000 and he can find me a z06 prolly for around 15,000-16,000. Hes had a few vettes but now has a brand new shelby GT500 forsale but dont have the 56,000 hes asking haha
