sell it, honestly, im tired of seeing these threads. and im a noob. sell it so someone like myself can enjoy it. this is my dream vehicle, and i feel luck as hell to have it at 23 all on my own. its not goin anywhere.
I got bored with mine, so I pullied and put full exhaust and a tune. Started getting bored again so I upgraded and put on a KB. Had a blast for a long time but started getting bored with that. Now the cars down for a fully built motor, heads everything and doing some twins. So we'll see how long that holds me over.
I really, really don't like you. I wouldn't go as far as saying I hate you, but it's close...
LOL Jealously is an evil thing! What are you doing for a living again? And are they hiring?
I don't hate ya .,., I feel ya :thumbsup:
Yep just add more boost or more efficient boost (turbo??) 
! Over the years I got bored stock so on went the 2.2 That was fun for a year then the t76 went on ) who knows nitrous and a bigger turbo?? I never get bored $$ and a littel time and boredom goes away! I was gonna get a c6z last year, but I found out the wife was preggo and I couln't drive with the kid in the front seat so I kept the cobra put bullitt seats in up the boost and I will keep it for a few years

I concur. Sell it and get a GT-500.
If you can afford a C6Z then now is the time to get one, new or used. The new ones have huge discounts but I do not think that GM is doing 0% on any of the Z06's just the regular vettes. I would drop my Cobra in a heartbeat if I could afford the payment but more so the insurance. have -18 points on your record makes it hard to get anyone to insure you for less then $600 a month!!
No matter what car you drive, you will at some point get bored with it. Just my 2 cents :shrug:. But if you are gonna upgrade to a new car id go with the Z06.
I agree with the guys encouraging you to road race or Auto-X. I drove mine on the street two weeks ago and it was snooze-ville compared to driving it on the track. I maybe used 30% of my cars ultimate potential and it was real downer.
I have just a couple small details left to take care of on mine and I'll be scheduling another track day. You can't beat it for fun and really driving your car at all of its limits. It is truely a blast.

1. dont buy a Vette
2. up the boost and start racing your car at the track.
i was in the same boat about a month ago. was even thinking of trading my kb cobra for a turbo fox body! but had my car re tuned, re dyno'd, and recently i took it to the track. now i look at my car very differently!
and now excited to even think about whats next for my car!
when i was at the track i laughed as a new 600hp viper best run was 11.8, new vettes were running high 12's and some even in the 13's. new moded z06 mid 12's. there was 2 nissan gt-r's at the track best run for either of them was 12.5.
i was the fastest car with street tires. appreciate what you have. when you realize how slow expensive, highly thought of cars really are. you will crack a smile and think... damn my cobra is a beast!

I'm not going to lie, the c6z is a complete vehicle with a really fast revving 450lb all aluminum 427.X ci. in a 3100 lb package. I can't say you'd ever regret owning one, I know I didn't

it hooks up VERY well for a car with goodyr runcraps. I made 4 total runs in the car and never 60ft worse than 1.85. best 1/4 et was 11.31, 100% showroom stock. and the car's not even made for drag racing
