Finally getting some good miles on my base. Every time I take it out I ask myself how all these drivers that post about using every bit of their 650HP continuously keep their DL's in tact. Perhaps you just have fewer LEO's trolling your roads. Perhaps it's just our short season here that has them stuck like flies on rotten meat on just about every stretch of road that is relatively smooth, curvy and pothole free. I also get a chuckle every time I hear someone post that they need 650HP for on-ramps and general passing. Perhaps it's just the same stuff posted on every forum no matter the toy.
The last two days weather wise were supreme here and there were more Vette's on my local go fast roads than I have ever seen. Prior to getting the Vette and running previous toys on these same stretches I just really paid little to no attention at all as to what was out there but it got to be a bit humorous how many GS and Z cars I happened upon and then passed them as they tooled along. Nothing wrong with that and I get it but c'mon man!!
Bragging rights?? I'm going to stick with that reasoning for the majority. I'm also going to suggest the OP just get the Z06 now if you are torn at all. I'm not getting one for the obvious reason that I would be using it right up to the point that they take my license away but for those that will not be as tempted or just like the bragging rights for having it just do it.

When I bought my C7, I had no real interest in a Z06 because at the time, it was hard enough using my C6 on the street without getting into trouble. The Z06 just seemed too fast for the 99% of the driving that I do. I wanted a Grand Sport because I liked the wider body, but chose the Z51 3LT M7 car because I was able to get the color/options I wanted at a good price. It also had the aero that I wanted. I agree that that I like the clean lines of the Stingray, but would have gone GS if possible. That said, I'm not missing the wider body like I did on the C6 model. I think the clean lines and aero look great.

I bought the car for me, not for others.
I have plenty of opportunity to use the power and handling of the car.
Buy what you want, not what some random guy on the Internet chose to buy.

Not sure what part of western WI you live in but have you been on the 33 west of Baraboo? Like Wildcat mountain? They have some sweet roads over there. They are so curvy that I have been surprised quite a few times needing the awesome breaks these cars have. Amazing driving for Wisconsin. Just watch out for slow moving farm equipment up ahead.
