^ 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.

Did they give you any kind of time frame as to when they might have the front splitter done?

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.
