I have just sold my insane c6 zo6 and now am looking at the c7
I like the convertible but the zo is out of my reach
Is their anything that new buyers need to know I
Am thinking of a z51 3lt convertible but in Europe their are none
Is this the best combination other than a z0
Also is the auto better than the manual I do not do track days now
Regards

Are you looking for a pleasure ride or a racing vehicle? Best to do some test drives before you make a decision. Driving the C7 is a step up from the C6, for sure. Do your research.

In that case, many here will tell you that there really is no need for the added expense and weight of the Z51 package..... I'm inclined to be one of those people. Sounds like a Stingray, 3LT, A8 Convertible is in your future..... I'd suggest you still order the NPP dual mode exhaust option.

Don't know if you can get a '16 yet in Europe, but it brought some really nice upgrades.
