But I think I may be selling my car. I'm somewhere between the point of wanting something different and possibly just being tired of the car.

Anyone interested, please let me know.

Rob, if you two work out a deal on his wheels, I'd like to talk to you about yours. I'm looking for some chrome thin spokes!

Sometimes you just have to make a change. I've been there before too. Good luck on whatever you decide. What are you looking for as a next car?

Change is good. Don't forget, there is a (sorta) new model Corvette coming out in a few months. What are you currently looking at replacing your Z with?

Good looking car!! You shouldn't have any problems selling it. Low mileage and great mods. Good luck with what you get in the future.

Say it isnt so..... but i know what you mean, I spend a couple days a week looking at cars online to see what my next toy will be. To be honest, I think I might keep mine and get something new, cause everytime I do go out in it, I do love it...but just ready for a change. Yours will sell quick....its a sweet ride, let me know what you start to think about as your next ride...maybe we can swap notes

Man, this was an old thread. I think it was just a phase and I was looking for something different to do. I've gotten it out of my system for now, especially since I don't like the look of the C6 all that much, and the new Z doesn't appear to be much different. I have the 500hp thing already, so I'm in no hurry to drop $70K on another one. I've been going back and forth about adding the AFRs, but knowing that I'd soon have to do the clutch too, and all the issues with those , I've decided against it. That and with the straight pipes it sounds like I have 1000hp.

Just bring your car up here and we can take care of the cam install and get you some big power.

Not suprised. The big question, what do you have your eyes on now?

I'm sure there's something and if I were to take an educated guess, I would be thinking something in the MB line. Just a feeling....
