Never in a million years would I have ever thought someone would say that an Audi S4 turned heads. Dude, I think you're confusing people looking at your Dad's Porsche Turbo with looking at your Audi. I hate to tell you but those little red "S4" emblems on the back don't really grab people's attention. IMO, one of the best things an S4 has going for it is that it's a "stealth" performance car. It looks just like every Audi grocery getter on the planet.
But the solution is simple. Sell the Z06 and buy yourself another S4. If you don't like Corvettes then by all means don't drive one. Last thing anyone here wants is a Corvette owner who bad-mouths Corvettes.
Oh and to answer your question, no, the only thing I've regretted about buying a Corvette is waiting so long to do so.

Your halfway there. Lower it, get new wheels, and a blower. IMHO, This is much nicer than a ricer. And your S4. Good luck.

My brain hurts from reading this thread for a couple of reasons. If you don't care for the Corvette, then by all means sell it or trade it off. Some people prefer Supras, some prefer Corvettes. Out of the people on my team at work there are people that own Corvettes, Cobras, Supras and WRXs. All are nice cars in each of their own way. Would I buy a Supra or a WRX, no as I'm not partial the Japanese cars. I'm considering trading my Corvette in either for a new Mercedes SLK55 or possibly a used Maserati F1 coupe. Drive what you enjoy and enjoy how you drive.
As for the other reason my head hurts, your post are almost impossible to read. I've seen the same thing from the people at work your age who grew up with what I like to call 'chat speak'. Learn to convey your meaning in full sentences and you'll do better in life. Trust me, 'chat speak' will only hinder you once you're out in the real world.

If the car is not doing it for you, sell it. Going fast is not everything. You can make any car quick, depending on how much money you want to throw at it. As far as looks, I haven't seen too many C5s that people don't notice.

Taking two aspirin after reading posts, going back to bed. If the biggest problem in life is choosing between an Audi, a Supra, or a z06 that's not meeting your expectations, I'd say you're doing very well. Sell the car, get what you want.

I couldn't agree more or have said it any better.Quitcherbitchin! Sell the Z06 and buy an S4. It's such a simple solution.

You seem to be more into foreign cars than American cars. For me, it has always been about American muscle cars and the Vette has always been at the top of the list. Getting my '04 Mag Red/Grey Coupe is the culmination of a dream.
Thanks,

Man, seems like a nice enough kid but I think he needs some therapy. Any doctors in the house?
I agree the "chat speak" has got to go. I tend to get long winded
at times but sometimes it takes more than a few sentences to get your point acrosss in an intellegint manner. Take your time and type it out so it makes sense the first time.

BriansZo6 informed us of the following:
"The didnt just snap necks, but put people in the hospital because they were breaking necks."
So your saying that your Audi received more looks and compliments than a C5 Corvette?

..."I feel bad and every time i see 1k more miles i feel my car is worth $10k less"....
Break out the Excedrin...bababababababa...phew I'm exhausted.
I tell you what, drive the, boring z for 2,000 more mile, all I'll give you $10,000 for it, according to you're calculations.
