One of the best upgrades are headers and that is probably the best bang for the buck. Also many upgrade the exhaust to either B & B or Corsa.
Count on a few things. Likely you will have to change out injectors, coil packs, fuel filters and maybe the tires. All are easy to do and if you ask the members, we know the "deals" on EVERYTHING!!! Be patient and look for deals.
Your interior looks GREAT!!!!!!! Must be garage kept. You have lots of Z members near you and many that can help with questions / issues with your car.
Do searches for "Wazoo" and you will see lots of activity (local guys in NY / NJ / MD / VA / PA and get together often!) Best event is the Corvettes of Carlisle and close to you (happends in August)
Lots of great info on www.zr1netregistry.com and becoming a member has it's privileges!
Look forward to seeing you at some local events

Hi David, thanks for the info. I wouldn't mind putting some bolt on parts. I've always upgraded the exhaust on most of my cars. The dealer didn't know much about the car, so i'm only speculating that it at least has the Magnaflow Force mufflers judging from the pictures of the exhaust tips. I'll wait till she gets here later this week to thoroughly inspect her. Who knows, maybe to my surprise there will be a nice set of headers and a full catback exhasut!! Hopefully there are no bad surprises.
I also appreciate the tips on the injectors/coilpacks, filters. Is this something I should do right away, or as one goes, replace all?
I will definitely purchase a memebership to ZR1 registry later today/tomorrow.
I'm also excited to take to shows this year and go out on some cruise nights. I love my daily driver, but boy do I miss a proper manual gear box!! Again, I'm really new to the corvette world, and I had no idea that we had a local club here in Medford Lakes called Lakes Corvette Club. They get together at a local bar every 1 and 3 tuesdays. It's literally 2 mins from my house. I'd have to check them out soon.
