Silly choice. The C7 base will never be as good (I presume) as a ZR1 go with the oldest c6 ZR1 you can find save a **** ton of money. (I dont get why people buy cars new) then destroy all of the guys who bought c7's on the road and enjoy one of two american exotics

Buy the used, drive it for two years, if you like the C7 sell it and buy the C7 two years from now... this way you will have two years of enjoyment while you wait......

As others have said, there's no guarantee if/when there will be a C7 ZR1. Even if there is, we don't know if it will be anywhere near what the C6 ZR1 is, performance-wise. Why wait and miss out on the experience now?
Personally, I don't know of anything GM might do with a C7 ZR1 that could make me not want my ZR1. You have to drive one to know what I mean.

Considering how few 2012s were made, and so many still waiting for an owner, will they even build a 2013 ZR1?

Well I'm suppose to hear back from the dealer on Monday. I'm going to make a thread in for sale for WTB new zr1 and see which dealer can get me the best price possible.

What he said. You're looking at a minimum of 3-4 years before we see a C7 with ZR1 performance on the showroom floor.

Like others have noted, no certain there even will be a C7 ZR1, or another vette w/ more hp/better performance. The impending CO2 limits and CAFE regs are going to take a bite out of the fun we've been having the last few years.
And if the C7 has that huge Camaro-esque butt like the recent depictions show, I'm not sure I'd want one anyway.

There are so many great deals on 2011 and 2012 ZR1s right now, you might as well pick one up and enjoy life. 
Plus the 2014s will be out eventually.
I would rather buy a 2015 anyways to let GM get the bugs out of the 2014s.
