Local dealership had on the lot for one day a Crystal red tintcoat 427 vert. 
Chrome ZR1 style wheels...it was a beauty. I can see why guys love those things....I fell in love!

427 Vert is not a Z06 (although for the typical consumer they are more than close enough to be considered interchangeable).
But that's why - the "427 Convertible" is this year's big draw and the Z06 is tapering out for reasons others mentioned (GS, long production run, C7, etc). I'd estimate only a few hundred Z06's will ultimately be built in for the `13 model year.

Like the Coupe and Convertible, their really hasn't been any significant improvements in the Z06 since 2009, the same year the ZR1 came out, the new Corvette top dog. In 2010 the G/S provided Z06 looks for those with less money and/or needing/wanting a torque converter automatic transmission. Finally, the 427 Convertible in 2012 arrived for the few who truly wanted near "Z06" performance in a Convertible. After eight years of production, everyone that wanted one, has already bought one, new or used, and outside of insignificant differences appearance wise, all C6 Corvettes look the same to the average person on the street. The Camaro ZL1 and the Cadillac CTS-V are the new GM "halo" cars, and the Corvette has been put out to pasture and left sucking hind tit.
.....alot worthless babble above this..Except that the ZR1 is the top dog... 13Z063LZNRBM....

For those of you buying used Z's what are you doing to keep the interior fresh and new looking or does it not matter to most of you? My biggest concern about buying used is that even after everything mechanical checks out I dont want a beat worn interior. Are you guys having yours restored or anything? As in the leather re done and things like that?
Or are any of you putting nice recars or corbeau seats in them?

I ordered a 427 in Cyber grey with red calipers. Interior will be black & red. Car will be built next week. I will take delivery near the end of the month after the C7 reveal. I went back and forth between the Z06 & the Vert. I have never had a convertible Corvette so I decided to try the 427 and see if it is a keeper. If not, I will sell it and get a third year C7 upgraded Coupe. I am buying the car through Mike Furman at Criswell in MD.

Not many Z's being built in '13. Especially with the 427 vert available now. I have tossed the idea around of upgrading to a ZR1 or a 427 vert from my 06 Z but I honestly love my Z too much to part with it. To trade for another Z - even a Z07 model - just doesn't make sense to me.
