Really, some of you people just don't get what you are trying to argue, the cross ram manifold on the first gen. Z/28 was a FACTORY OPTION when ordered from the factory and was therefore stock. If I can order different wheels from the factory on a fifth gen. they are stock, anything that can be ordered from the factory via their regular new car order system is a STOCK available option. No different than different versions of the SS396 engine on the first gen. Camaro or the three two barrel version of the early Pontiac GTO in place of the single four barrel.

"Availible option... like the catback exhaust and other performance upgrades we can get on the 5th gen?
Factory installed or not, thats not stock. Its a performance upgrade
option which is all about making it better than stock. "
- Me.
The LS3 is not an option. It is the only motor available on a completely different model of car.
The short throw shifter and cat-back exhaust are options. Like the cross ram. These things are not stock because you have to order them as OPTIONS which can be installed in the factory but are still a performance upgrade over the stock car.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
