Well I'm going to enjoy the hell out of my C6Z06 -- if I ever got a better job and was making what I used to make (and the C7 wasn't wooing me) I'd love a new viper... or try a foreign car. 911 or M3?
Either way none of it is really in the cards as I'm doing good to afford my Z at the moment

It would take a lot for me not to buy a Corvette, however, without a doubt I will go with the Porsche Cayman,
Cost more, but I will keep it longer, certainly will miss having a convertible, but you are getting a proven world class car.

Probably do what I've been noodling over the last couple years, anyway. Keep the C6s. Get a non-numbers matching C2, and build a resto-mod with a SRIII chassis, LSX 454 and related stuff.
Stylish, good handling and fast.
Doesn't have to be a "new" car in my book to be a hot ride.

My Plan A is to keep my Z06. Plan B is to buy a lightly used 2nd or 3rd year Z06 or ZR1 if I really like it.

Plan A is to buy a C7 in the second or third year of production, assuming the styling is acceptable. The mechanicals seem great, as far as we know.
Plan B would be to buy something else, or not buy anything at all.

As for me, the rear is killing the rest. And it's not the taillights. Still hoping it will be harmonious. I have no plan B.

My "Plan B" is a new GT500 or a used, low mileage C6 Z06 if I can't bring myself to buy a Ford.
I was pretty excitd about the ZL1 until they announced the 4,150lbs weight and completely lost interest when the vast majority of the production cars weren't coming anywhere close to the factory promised acceleration numbers or trap times.

Plan A is to trade in the C6 convertible for a 2015 C7 convertible.
Plan B is to buy a 2015 coupe and keep the C6 convertible.
The C7 is gonna be awesome. I am sure Plan B will not be needed.
