Default I'm bored with my car.

I have a 2002 MY Z06 that I've owned for 2 1/2 years.

I am completely bored. I take the car to the track at least once a year, I am a decent driver and a total car guy. I am an appreciator of cars. But. the car is just not doing it for me anymore. I recently got a 2010 C63 AMG that has stolen my heart.

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.

You're a rich guy. Sell the Z, and buy a Ferrari. Mine still makes me turn around and look after 7 years, and buying mods makes me happy. I'm not bored, just grateful.

when you say "you take the car to the track once a year" are you talking about the drag strip or the road course?
If you haven't done a road course in your z06 yet you are really missing out.

Park it and rent a Prius for a week.

You'll be glad to have the Z back.

Sticky tires and, oh, about 1.5 G's in the corners always makes me smile.

So iam, bought the heads/cam sold it, now bought the cam/spring kit but have not installed and have no great feeling doing that, bought SC and sold it never installed. I have chitload of parts but lost some interest in modding too. Have nitrous kit too brand new, tryin g to sell this one too.

Now thinking of TPIS modified intake 90mm conversion, 1.8 RR's and 3.90 gears.........list never ends.

Since u got nice AMG drive it couple years more, sell it and C6 Z06.....oh sell this C5 Z now.

I don't get it, but that's why there are so many different types of cars.

Honestly, that Benz is fuaouaoua-glee. Like busted teeth on a supermodel.

And I thought a 2002 Trans Am had ugly vents... (I've owned one BTW)
