Yes sir indeed. Don't you just love sarcasm?
The easier question is to ask what have you not done yet to your car. I have owned it since 1998.

Need: stroker, rollbar, maybe Nitrous.......then I think I'm done. Maybe

I bought my car a couple of weeks ago and still trying to figure out what mods it has. Carfax says it was two owner car. first owner traded it to a dealer and second owner bought from dealer so history is lost. The obvious mods are the gray paint, color keyed door handles and wheels.

I did find something interesting folded up in the FSM that came with the car. It was a printout of an email from Doug Rippie Motorsports in 2004 to a Jan Timmerman that referenced a huge list of engine parts including pistons etc. I sent an email to Jan Timmerman to see if this was the original owner and what was done to the engine. If buying a ton of parts from Rippie, maybe my engine is not stock?

Lets hope Rippie blessed your engine.

Tony-..I know that hood scoop is an overlay on the stock hood..Who makes it?Greenwood?

Mine was 'bone stock', except for the 91 - 95 body conversion (think it was done since the car had taken a hit in back, although I just found a piece of glass inside the hood mount, IN THE FRONT!

The ZF was first to go, now the 2' port hardware, now it looks like the AIR plumbing will be removed, traded the Aluminum pinwheels for Black A-Mold [repro's] on the corners, now the exhaust is migrating from the sigline to actually ON the car. And the painted top end, the GS stripe to take the edge off the Red - DON'T like Red...

Stock.........all stock.
