What's your ultimate vision for your ZR-1? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

What do you have in the works for your Z, or what things would you like to one day do to it? You can also list any fantasy Z's you'd like to have, but I'm more interested in things you reasonably plan on doing.

I'm sure for some of you you've already done these things.

I'd like to change my car in the following ways, and these are mostly in order:

Headers (with emissions equipment)
Exhaust: I'm not sure what I want to go with just yet. I like Corsa's straight-through aspect. It seems the ultimate way to go for that pipe size. Plus they aren't that heavy like glasspacked mufflers. I'm not sure the tips look right to me for an '80s Corvette, though, and I have to think about what kind of sound I want
Port and polish. I like the idea of a 350, but getting some free extra power out of it is sure cool. On the street, what difference does it really make if you have 475hp or 1000hp. I'm sure both are fun to drive (as is 375hp). But ~500hp seems like a good place to be at, especially in a motor that will still be smooth and such.
Brakes upgraded to 6-pistons in front and stainless lines. Nothing crazy, or for racing, just a step up. I do like how the stock rotors fill the wheels, though.
Wheels maybe. I like the 5-spokes, but I really dig OZ Mitos
I'd like perfect paint. Mine is pretty nice, but not perfect. Not sure if I'd want a respray, though, as it's only new once.
I think the Callaway aerobody is cool, but I kinda think I would keep a stock body even if I had a lot of money to toss around. The 1990 is distinct, only one year and one model looked like this.

I also think it would be cool to have a totally stock 1990 in Steel Blue to keep. It was just a cool color. But red/red is so sweet, albeit common, that I just had to get that.

What would you like to do to your car?

Edit: I also meant more mod stuff than maintenance stuff. But other things I am planning are changing the diff fluid, new tires, and new injectors, in addition to whatever else pops up.
