Good looking vette.

And agree with above, you can throw an E-force supercharger on it down the road for not much $$ and reliably recapture Z level performance.

I had a very robust security system installed last Friday.

I will be getting an immobilizer installed in the car ASAP as well.

And it will be in the garage at all times unless I am washing it.

I got door openers installers with cameras and a phone app that alerts me of any activity.

I installed bars on the windows to the garage and a deadbolt on the man door.

Good call.

Imagine how much money you'd have without a house payment or two stolen vehicles!

Glad to hear it.

I would be interested in any deets you'd care to share. In strictest confidence of course.
