There I was, all fat, dumb, and happy. I was just cruisin down the main stream of life with no cares, my V1 at my side and my 98 Z28 in the garage.

Then BAM, out of the blue it struck. I think it is called NCS and it’s totally uncontrollable by medication or meetings. The only cure for this dreaded affliction is to appease it. Of course, having a supportive wife during this family crisis has helped a lot.

So, I went down and ordered a C6 to combat the NCS (New Car Syndrome) and I'm starting to feel better now. The V2 upgrade is also on order.

Nothing like a new C6 to cure the shakes! What color did you order?

It never hurts to have too many cylinders or cars. :cheers:

:lol: Yeah, them are serious conditions ... good that they can easily be cured (though, at a cost). Congrats!

Is there anything like "too many cylinders", "too much HP/torque", "car too fast" (last one is a quote from that "too much fun" song) ??? Don't think so ... :notacrook: :rockon:

I got the quiet color this time. Victory Red with a beige top and cashmere seats and M6.

:Eyecrazy: That's sexy! Will be a nice compliment to V2's curves.

Those will need to come after the warranty expires. My current ride did that mod in the 37th month of my ownership. I'll need to do appearance mods or mods that won't kill the warranty.

Btw, having just received my V2, does that also mean I need to upgrade from WU6 to C6? :D

Maybe we could get a group buy on C6's :)

Hm ... GB would be an option ... does it come with a - like - 50% rebate when we get to say 10 or 20? :D

Hm ... neat idea ... maybe you just need to find a doctor that can invent a cool sounding latin name for NCS ... :)

The AMA has recently added a new disorder to the list of Plagues and Scourges. The new disorder NeoCartimus Syndromus (NCS) has been placed as one of the most feared and contagious maladies to be identified to date. The article goes on to state that no known cure for this malady has been found and the only symptomatic relief is to purchase a new car within 30 days of noticing the symptoms.

Symptoms include:

Leering stares at show room windows.
Stacks of new car pamphlet’s on desk
Excess salivation when catching a glimpse of new cars on the street
Opening the daily paper to new car sales before reading the sports section
Enjoying new car commercials on the telly.
The urge to buy overcomes all financial ability to actually afford the car.
Thinking of ways to sell off furniture to make a down payment.
Asking the S.O. or wife to take on a second job to make the payments.
Getting wood when within 25' of any new sportscar.

At least it wasn't a silver torque wrench, er... spoon!


So far, I've looked at twin turbo kits, superchargers, coil over kits, exhausts, and other useless addons to the not-yet-delivered car.

I am so bad.....

So when's she due? Would be rough to wait a whole 9 months for a new baby.

Well, under normal intervals it would be 28 days, but Christmas is involved and the plant shuts down for 2 weeks so the "guess" is at the end of January.

That it will, mate, that it will!

If I can't sell the Z, then I'll have two fast toys to play with.

Good for you, you knew what it would take, and you fixed it.
Enjoy.
A cam might prolong the cure, then a----------

How is it possible that a thread can go into a death spiral in 2 posts? Only a bunch of hairbrained tuners can do that!

No shame. If I had a C6 vert, & V2, I'd have to have Sweedish twins too.

















I'd keep the Z and put a bumber sticker on it "My other car has twins" :muahaha:

How'd we get to Sweden? Isn't APS an Aussie venture?

I have a pornographic memory. The APS reminded me of some Alps.
