Let her go
Had to get rid of the 2004 Z. Sad day but it was a necessary move with the birth of our 3rd kid. Ended up trading her in on a 2015 Silverado which is quite amazing and I'm extremely happy. Plus, the wife is happy that I no longer wake the kids up and I'm sure the neighbors appreciate it as well.
Never got to get her dyno tuned with all the new goodies installed either.

Congrats on your new child and sorry to hear about you having to sell your C5. Family comes first though.

I've had Corvettes off and on for 40 years, on 7th one now, different priorities come and go, kids, jobs, ect - life always changing. Ten years from now you will be ready for another and can pick up an old C7 for $12k
