Does it ever get old?
I Purchased a 2014 2LT Z51 M7 a few months ago. I have put about 2k miles on it since I have had it, already installed Texas Speed headers and off road pipe. And I can't get enough of driving around in it. I look forward on nice days to getting home, getting out of the company car and needing to go somewhere just so I can drive the Corvette.
I don't remember it being like this for any of my other cars. The last 11 cars have been Mustangs, with the nicest being the 2012 with a TVS supercharger on it(was stupid fast, and makes the current Corvette feel a little slow when I stomp on it). I enjoyed driving the 5.0, but not as much as I like driving the 14 Z51. Just need to pull the trigger on a A&A kit.
Biggest reason I bought the Corvette was for the removable roof.

The corvette is just a fun car to drive. I too had a supercharged car, a cts-v before buying my current 14 coupe. I do miss the supercharged power but that said I can't remember ever enjoying the V as much as I enjoy my corvette.

Driving a Corvette has never gotten old for me. It always puts a smile on my face.

Going on 1 year owning this car, and every time I get in it, I still get the same feeling I got the first day I bought it. Always looking for a reason to drive somewhere.

Approaching one year of ownership of our 2016 Z51 7M coupe and it hasn't gotten old yet. It's funny how a trip to the convenience store can turn into a 100-mile joy ride. Based on the 12 years I owned a 1983 944, I don't expect it to ever get old.
