^ Yeah my mom's '99 vert had hud as did my father's Z16 Z06 (now Portdawg's). It wasn't an option in the 2001 Z06. I just keep it on the speed only setting.

I have the hud in both Vettes and the C6 version is an upgrade and when I get in a vehicle without a hud I feel lost, I rarely look at my speedo when doing spirited driving, I have gotten used to the hud and it does not let me down and I can keep my eyes on the road and that is a great thing

When I was looking for my Vette I didn't care about the hud, mostly because Road & Track or one of those said it was annoying and they turned it off. Well, I guess I'm different because I really like it a lot. As far as my original question, I meant stock as in drivetrain, suspension and exhaust.

As I posted above I don't intend to hyper-mod the vert, but I thing the car needs upgrades in 2 key areas at a minimum:
1. Mufflers - oem stock is just way too quiet 2. Shifter - the stock C5 shifter is too long. C6Z06 is the perfect shifter IMO and will be swapped from the Z06 shortly. |

Not me, in fact I just placed an order with RPI Designs for a rear spoiler painted to match my Torch Red coupe. it is the SLP spoiler. Should have it in a week to ten days. After that will be a front splitter. I was thinking of the ACI splitter, but RPI is in the process of producing a ZR1 style splitter for the C5. I will wait to see how it looks before I order the ACI. Pictures forth coming once I get the rear dech spoiler.

No, just that they were working on the design. I did check out their C6 splitter and it looks great. Hopefully the C5 version will be as nice and it won't be to long until it is ready.
