Because it will match your avatar? 
The short answer is that the Z06 is the best bang for the buck out there. There are many reviews out there on the C6. I'm sure you will get some solid feedback here from Z06 folks and those who have owned coupes/verts as well.

I love the z06 but its up to you whats more important.
Here are just a few differences.
Z06 corvette
** 505hp, lighter weight (3100 pounds)
** different hood, air dam, front fenders, rear fenders, lower stance (wide body)
** drilled rotors (stock), painted upgraded brake calibers.
** Manual only
** fixed top
** more looks
** faster
C6 base corvette
** 400hp or 432hp
** little heavier (3290 pounds)
** auto or manual
** removable targa top or vert
** more practical
Both cars are gorgeous...choose your destiny.

because..
you wont be able to get anything like it within 2 to 4 years at a price a normal person can afford...
the hp V8 high water mark has been hit..
with the gov's recent agreement to make all of the US meet california emissions standards, and a car fleet average of 42 mpgs within less than 10 years its over...
and my opinion GM and chrysler are done.. the gov will prop them up for a time but they wont be here in recognizable forms in ten years...
despite all of this you might decide not to get one because you might not be able to find a decent dealer to service it.. and if the workers are demoralized enough.. you might not want what they end up grinding out in these dark times....

Because you like the car, can afford it, and appreciate the fact that it's the best perfomance value on the planet (any Vette).
If this isn't true, look for a different car.
