Thanks for the responses and yes mods are definitely in the works in the next few months. My M5 is definitely a different car from the ZO6 but my M5 will definitely get a lot more adds as the power in the old Z was a bit more than stock. It was definitely modded and made about 570 rwhp. But it is a compromise in comfort, noise level, road manners and not to mention the pathetic service/support that GM dealers have for an expensive GM car. I will be doing a lot of research into which mods are the best bang for the buck, which are best for looks, exhaust, and others. Supposedly, the owner of the dealership added the Dinan Stage 2 package to this car but I have not confirmed this. What is the best tipoff that this has been done??
Check with C's Bimmer for an answer to that one. Hey Mikey, he knows everything!

Just posted one quick pic that I took last night before it got dark of the car (in my album - forgot how to attach to post). Also a pic of my two previous Vettes (an 05 C6, silver and my 06 ZO6) and my long term project which is a 63 Nova SS V8. I will post more pics as soon as I get some advice on how to add to post. Thanks.

Car had a couple of Dinan badges which mysteriously disappeared while at the dealership. I have a couple of M5 Badges on order to replace what's missing. But, I am kind of hesitant as I like the way it looks without them. Planning to get some carbon fiber grilles, side grilles and interior parts - for starters.
