Very nice, I'll need to look into this.

Good point and typically I would agree. However the V6 I had was around 360 rwhp with far less sophisticated suspension than the Z. I've also driven a track prep GT3RS and Ferrari F430, granted the Ferrari I haven't really "raced" just driven hard.

So the Z is the highest hp vehicle I've driven but not the only performance oriented vehicle.

I'm not looking for a huge power adder right now, just something that will set it apart from a completely stock ZL1.

Currently I'm thinking a Roto-fab CAI with the intake box paint matched and carbon fiber tube. Should look good.

I'd don't like spending money on mods that don't some sort of performance value (hp, braking, weight reduction, etc). So a decent looking CAI seems like a happy medium for the first mod.

I lived in Waco for a little bit and yes I graduated from Baylor. I'm in Kemah (SE Houston) now.

I live in Austin, and the other day it rained and was overcast all day so the temp stayed about 77. I noticed a BIG difference in pull compared to days prior when it was 102. I just got my car a couple of months ago, can't wait until November, should rock then. Seems like all the mods to cool are either hard to do yourself, or pretty invasive. I want to keep the warranty for now. I did put a Roto-Fab CIA on it, but prob need to put the big gulp on or another ducting device to get the benefit of it. Do high flow cats affect the warranty.
