Ill load you up with vette pics because I just got down rebuilding the engine
I threw a valve and destroyed my engine with fragments of the retaining clip. So here is everything start to finish.

Its due for a paint job, last thing to do once I get the injects swapped out
heads, look at the valve spring that is missing... lol

Missing one roller rocker cause the new one was being shipped, the valve chewed it up.
the engine is in and its running. Its at the shop right now getting a dyno tune. Its going to be going to the paint shop next week and it will finally be done.

everything on the outside of this car is stock cause i wanted a sleeper. I even have the bumper from a 92 on there to fool even the vette owners. I am going to be switching it back to the 96 bumper because i want the paint job to be done on the original parts. I am pushing 480HP at the crank with no tune. We will see what the RWHP will be after the tune and from the dyno. This thing is fast as hell.
this really got off topic....

I was not a fan of corvettes until i drove one. I always looked at them as being over rated but when you stop and think, no one ever talks about them and I've never drove one so how are they overrated? It all happened when my buddy asked me to help him get his vette from the tune shop. It wasn't a far drive but i realized they are bad@ss cars and my lack of consideration for them was more like ignorance.
I was always like meh a corvette, yea yea we all know your fast, now look at this modded up supra!! lol i kinda alienated corvettes into a class of their own. Respected cars that are worth a house or ones built with a ton of blood sweat and knuckle skin.
and yes I know, mustang drivers have something wrong with their brains. I don't know what it is. I think its the concept of they are driving the classic american muscle car that they feel they are top dog. And its usually the 20 year olds that do it the worst.

the stingray both old and new is a different story. That car is beautiful from insect wing to exhaust tip.

styling wise the vette is a moving door stop. We call it submarining when we hit a lifted vehicle and dive underneath. One of the biggest reasons I bought a roll cage. However it is a misnomer that corvettes are not safe. As long as you don't submarine the fiberglass shatters dissipating much of the energy of the crash and the way they are built the frame hugs you kinda like a capsule.

I pretty much have everything except for F/I or ripping apart the engine and changing the specs.
I mean what else is there? i guess the term heavily is a loose term. When i think lightly modded I think intake and exhaust with a few do dads, When I think heavily, i think persons ripped the IM off to deal with cooling, has modifications to the timing, fuel/air ratio, has all the basics, dodads, and a few special things such as the electronic cutout and custom headers, y-pipe/b-pipe, and larger than recommended exhaust that works very well ect.. that and heavily=too much money.
The Z's are fun because they are fast, and the kids that drive them love to rice them, so they can get quick. The drop tops are no challenge but the NISMO Z's are challenging.
Old camero, yeah piece of cake, the SS? no its faster.
300 Hemi? yeah they lose
the Hemi challenger with all its might and look, they lose
the dodge charger R/T, again.. sadly all these heavy cars with all their HP lose to the family sedan.
Mustang gt's (not the 5.0) they don't stand a chance.
its hard for someone to believe a maxima is over these cars.

There are guys that have touched 320 all motor, with CEL's and no FI. Your engine mod list is pretty much the same stuff that I have, apart from a few things here and there.
I would only buy a g or z for the "coupe" feeling...which I want lol
but power...no way. The maxima will suffice.
