Haha Im the other way around. The c6 Z06 is the last corvette I'll ever own as of right now. I didn't like the Cormaro. So I'm leaning towards a GTR, Viper, and Lamborghini.

They say the C7 Stingray matches the C6 Z06,.. so you kinda are getting a upgraded Z06 if you buy a C7 Stingray.

I thought about a GTR as a possibility because of the insane bang for the buck performance, but after all the horror stories about the ride quality, cost of servicing one, etc. along with the average looks and pathetic exhaust note I quickly eliminated it from the list.
