If you like a high tech interior, definitely go with the C7.

Came over from the C6Z section. <br/>Note the farm equipment. This may be a barn find some day.

Many C7 owners have complained about the standard seats being too narrow so you'll have to research here to "read all about it" as the comments are too voluminous to repeat.

It's my understanding that the Comp seats are even more narrow and not very comfortable on an extended trip.

Others with more knowledge and experience will have to chime in.

That said, I'd never go back in time that far (2011 as you state, that model is now 5 years old). Even 2014 is 2 years old, but a much better Corvette. Decide what it is you really want. Best to you.
How is a 2014 2 years old?

It is not a two year old car. Its a model year 2014. It doesn't matter if some were built in 2013.

Well if you cant count to 2 ill leave the argument at that but something tells me if it was bought in 2013 and its 2015...it will be two years old at some point in 2015 but believe what you will. I say its 2 years old if bought two years ago. I bought my 2015 on 11-18-2014....so on 11-18-2015 my 2015 will be a year old.

I used to play at Willow with a friends Z06 Carbon and it was a fun car...at the track. But driving it back to back against the likes of the GTR and Gallardo I found it to be dated, like a throwback to simpler times. They are fast as hell but if I were to own just one Corvette the C6 would not be it.

Sure I am biased, I own a 2015, but even if I didn't the C6 would be a hard sell as an only Vette against the C7. As for tracking the C7, dunno bout others but a set of track wheels and tires, some rotor and some nice track pads would make for a car that's plenty capable of running on the track. Of course I would prefer to have a C5 Z06 as a track toy with my C7 being the occasional track day participant.

Well.........I went a slightly different route. I did go with a C7 and I also went with a Z06

The deal was too damned good to pass up, and honestly, I now have my dream car.

Holy sh*t...
I just saw this thread at the top of the page and when I opened it, noticed it was close to a month old. This post is awesome.
I'm reading along wonder what the weekend's feedback will bring and BAM...you bought a C7Z instead.
Congrats!
