I dunno - I couldn't imagine ever getting bored with sex... I guess might depend on your partner and I guess I am pretty lucky there. Cars - ya, I often get bored with cars which is pretty clear since I often sell them in 1 year and almost never keep them more than 3.

LOL! Girlfriend isn't my problem.

I don't know how I'd ever be able to sell my Vette, especially so soon.

Anyone have ideas of what I can do to add some spark back into the relationship? I feel like I need the car version of viagara or something.. lol.
Trade it in on a C6 Z06. There are incredible deals out there now (new or used).









You will not need any car viagra with this ride!

1000%

Otherwise, Viagra receipe for C5 Z that your bored with

1. 4.10 or 3.90 gears
2. Head and Cam and Dyno Tune
3. Fast Manifold Intake and Long Tube Headers

This will be better than Levitra I guarantee you!

Why not get a set of slicks, launch the car at the track and rip through the gears? Or even better, take it out to a road course?

to the OP: Here's a grand idea...quit complaining and whining to us, and be thankful for what you have.

Not really complaining - just having open discussion. I think the thread has touched on a lot of things that people are feeling about their car.. and given some basis to why people do the things they do with their car (mods, etc).

So who's being cynical?

because your posts about your dissatisfaction are more reoccuring than my ex's case of herpes outbreaks, (weekly)

and I'm not being cynical. being realistic. your last one just got locked.

I am not sure what is boring you. Is it the car or your experiences at the track? If it is the track maybe you should try more events and learn to push the envelope a little more. Seriously, the C5 is very capable of putting on a show outside as well as inside the car. Of course, the engine can always give you more power with some aftermarket upgrades. It is well supported by many vendors nowdays.
