I would consider this car stolen at that price. Somebody is going to get one sweet car with a lot of tasteful mods. GLWTS

Ugh... I hate to come off all emotional, but I took the car on a drive to snap some pictures of it. Taking the pictures to sell it was really putting a knot in my stomach. The drive home, opening it up a bit, I was feeling sick about it.

I can't sell the car. It looks too good and sounds too nice. There's lots of little stuff I hate about C4's, the rattles, the crashy ride, the crap headlights, etc. But those things that are right about it are really right. The trans and engine are a dream, and the style is a knockout.

I'm sort of sick of working on the car, of spending money, and of it taking up space if I'm not going to drive it frequently. But I may have to change my expectation, and try driving it more just for fun, and less frequently.

Wow, some great upgrades.

I think you just need to drive it more and work on it less for a while.

I find just drive it and enjoy it for a while , then I'll get case of upgradeitis, typically one major episode a year. This year its wheels, tires and brakes.

Next year, I sense a port and polish coming on....

The GRIN factor won you back -- The LT-5 is hard to ignore and you are such a lover of the DOHC - we know from reading all your posts about DOHC over the years on the forum and your comments on the N*and your OLDS.

You are an addict as are most all of us here and even as great as the new ZR1 is -- It is not the same as the luv affair we all have for the BEAST.

Glad to see you will remain in the BROTHERHOOD

Now if ever in the future you start wondering again about the "Gee I do not use it enough" & "It is just taking up space and costing me $$$" (we all have these thoughts- well I think many of us do from time to time) all you/one has to do is ----

GO OUT AND DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF THE Z AND PUSH IT HARD UNTIL THE GRIN HAPPENS

THE GRIN SOLVES ALL DILEMMAS AND REMOVES ALL DOUBT :flag2::cheers:
