Should I...
Please kindly take a moment and reply with your thoughts as I really need some of your opinions because I am very confused.
I own a beautiful 2007 black Z51, but I am getting a bit bored and doubt I will be able to wait for the C7 Z06, which I intend on purchasing when released (2014 is my guess)
Should I grab a 2012 GS (I love the widebody) or is it foolish to buy another C6 so close to the C7 launch???
My current car is paid off, but the GS looks great and moving to the LS3 would be nice also... thoughts????

You know the current C6 is a top notch reliable sports car.
You don't know what the C7 will bring to the table.
Go with the sure thing. JMHO

Maybe add custom wheels or something to renew your interest intil the C7 comes out.
Who know you may not even like the C7

Widebody conversion & supercharger = Done
It will be a new found love when your finished and no payments
I would wait until at least two to three years into the C7 so GM can work the bugs out.

I was in the same situation. When I found out how much they were willing to give for my 07 for a new GS, I added a SC and now am looking at maybe a wide body but definitely new wheels/wider tires. Power is awesome, something the GS won't have (unless you got the SC route).

thank you everyone... I appreciate you taking the time to reply. For those suggesting a Z06, I will explain my logic... I am confident GM will produce a great C7; therefore, it is likely that this current purchase may be a briefly owned car and 80k is too much given the potential 2 or 3 year situation.
I was able to negotiate a loaded 3LT 2012 GS down to 58,500 which is a very reasonable number so I guess my mind is made up! Thank you all again....great input. Life is short!
