If you could have a different generation Corvette as your second Corvette, which one?

The '02Z is good, comfy, handles well and sounds great (have Borlas on it). I bought it used for myself and put about 30K miles on it within 2 years (had 53K on her when I bought it). I did some minor stuff to her, such as adding HID driving and headlights, replaced the rotors with slotted and drilled and put a set of General Exclaim UHPs on all 4 corners. Oh yea, replaced the stock audio HU with a Kenwood Double Din unit with Garmin Nav built in. It was my DD.
Bought a used '07 coupe in 2008 and gave my wife a choice - she could keep her '95 coupe or take the Z. Needless to say, she took the Z
. It's her DD with 94K on it now. I sold my C6 in Nov of 2013 with 83K miles on it. It was very customized and was stone-cold reliable. Looked really good too (bought as a black coupe, sold it as a Jetstream Blue Grand Sport bodied C6). Full details on it can be found at my website if you're so inclined.

In the 3 months it took to take delivery of my C7, I stole my wife's ZO6 many times so I did have plenty of "close" timing experience with the ZO6 just before the C7.
My Z51 is head and shoulders above both my previous Vettes. More comfy, CERTAINLY a more strong puller, handling is superb and I have been totally stoked driving it for 16K miles so far.
It's kinda hard to be so general. If you have a specific area of interest, maybe I can pin it down more

Specifically 63 split window 327 300hp automatic Red/ w black interior. The car I fell in love with as a kid.
