Default I want to upgrade but want...opinions

Hello all,
I have owned a 73 Stingray that was a beast but wanted a more refined Vette so I went with a 96 which I've owned 10+ years and still love it's abilities but now I find myself wanting that new since of refinement and power and I find myself wanting the C6. The problem is what year and type is best. I plan on owning and passing it down one day so I want to invest wisely. I would like to hear some opinions and do my own homework beforehand as well. Thanks in advance. Vettes forever!

You may want to post this in the C6 area, or PM a moderator and have them move it for you.

You will get more exposure and opportunities for responses.

By the way, went a similar path that you are looking at doing, and I would say 2010+ Grand Sport would make a very nice long lasting upgrade!
