Please explain the issue(s) you're having, OP.
WIW I bought my '08 Z06 in March of '09, a leftover, still have it.
In the past 7 years the wheel nuts were replaced & end links tightened. Aside from normal oil changes & new tires the car has been nothing but a pleasure to own & operate. What's up with yours?

From where I sit, yeah, it's you.
I bought a new 427 vert in 2013 and it's been flawless since. The only thing I've done to it is change the oil twice myself, and it's never been back to the dealer for anything. Knock on wood, it's been reliable and a pleasure to own and drive.

2009 ZR1 with 13,500 miles. I'm owner number four, owned it for a year now and I've had no issues. If you keep having problems you might check into the lemon laws.

No doubt every make and model can have a few cars that seem to have gremlins.
I own the much maligned (only in the eyes of other c6 owners) 05 and it's been solid for me but I've been pretty lucky as far as cars go. The only lemon I ever owned was a Fiat X-19 30 years ago. The rest (new or used) have been great.
What kind of issues are you having?

OP, it would be nice as others have mentioned above for you to elaborate. Without knowing specifics, it's hard to give an opinion.
What I will say, is I find it amusing that many of the responses are of folks who haven't had a lick of trouble...with their stated "low" mileage vehicles. OP, I see where you're coming from. One would expect to be able to make a statement such as "this car has been flawless" if that owner has put on...say 87,000 miles. But yet as a Corvette bunch, we're somewhat proud of the fact we have yet to deliver the car back to the dealership in the first two or three years of ownership and with no more than 10,000 miles.
Here I'm having a conniption after my son called and our Nissan Sentra has a horrible vibration...at 254,000 miles. Turns out I had him replace the #4 coil and all is good in the world for several more tens of thousands of miles.
Wow, what we get used to in life!

06 vert, second owner with over 76,000 on it and NEVER had a repair, only routine maintenance. Oh I forgot, one right rear TPMS sensor was replaced a few weeks ago and I had the low beam headlight recall done even though mine worked fine. It has it's third battery in it but absolutely no needed repairs on or off warranty. Except for the driveline tunnel heat it's been a great car.
