sweet! congrats on the choice - looks awesome. though, i do fear its fate as mentioned above....the ol' cugr was never a beauty queen, and it was blessed with a doesn't-show-dirt-as-much silver paint job. heaven only knows what that black will look like in a few weeks.

eh, bring it over to alabama and bigmoney and i will give it a zaino bath for ya....heh heh.
exhaust-wise, a friend of mine put a slightly-used Z06 titanium exhaust on his 50th anniv. coupe and it sounded incredible....not to mention the weight savings. got it pretty cheap, too, as i recall - from the corvetteforums classifieds.
