Saaaaayyy....>WHAT?   Is pulling a motor out of a Corvette....hard?  No, it’s not.  Not that you should need to, but if you do, it isn’t particularly more difficult than most any other car. 

Obviously the “driver mod” is the single best “mod”....but it’s not really a “mod” of your vehicle. As for the “most helpful”....does replacing the entire engine count as a single mod?

This is the right answer^^^. It’s a rite of passage. A qualifactions check. If the guy can drive a stick...he can probably figure out and handle the Tumbler...and he does. If he CAN’T drive a stick....well, you know...he’s worthless.

I agree with BigBlock400. I used to have a $350.00, ‘83 Jeep J20; 360, T18, D44/D60 (Dave Tracy is jealous right now...and Dave, I saved it out of a junk yard for $350 and drove my $350 Jeep J20 to UT!).

When you have a nice car, your fear of bad things happening to it, causes bad things to happen to it. To wit:

GM made the runners small on the L83 “Crossfire” Corvette in order to sabotage it....to make the L98 “TPI” look better.
