I just got tired of working on it every weekend. It was taking up too much of my time, too many things that didnt work like they should, and it wasn't getting any more valuable with all the money I was funneling into it. I still love c4s, and hope to own another one some day, but I needed a daily driver that was more reliable and better built. I bought a 350z. Flame suit is on now...

No flame from me. Those are neat! I especially like the brand new ones in carbon silver. 
But since I can get a decent Vette for about 1/3 the price, I'll start there and see how it treats me.:o
How's about a pic or two before you completly leave us?

350Z's are great cars. you made a good decision.
not like the other poor dumb fool here recently that got rid of his C4 and spent a choke-whopping $35k for some fugly fat heavy dodge hemi (who gives a crap about a hemi, it ain't a hemi).
a 350Z is a real sports car.

I drove the datsun 260z cars for many years, had a couple of 280z cars too.
I always wanted a vette back then, but I was much younger and I now realize the z car was the perfect car for me at that time in my life.
I think you have a nice car there.

I have almost at times wanted to trade my vette in for a 350z . Those cars are sweet looking. After owning my 05 Nissan Xterra for almost 2 years now... I love it! I wouldn't mind another Nissan!
I don't blame you though on always working on it every weekend. I feel the same way at times. Everytime I feel like trading it in.. I feel guilty for even thinking it! However I might just buy a 350z. Who knows?
All in all.. enjoy the car!

I had a '72 Datsun 240z for a couple of years as my fun car. I finally sold it because I was tired of working on it. With the 2 nearly worn-out SU1 carbs, it took as much time tuning and balancing as it did driving.
