Default Cabin heat C6 vs C7?

Can anyone make a comparison?

I think we need a little more information on what you are asking?

Are we comparing coupes, convertibles, heated seats, the heating system?

Apologies . I will be starting my 2nd summer in my C6 stock vert. I love the car and would like to do some boltons. The only thing I hate is the cabin heat. Before I go down the mod rabbit hole, I was wondering if the C7 was substantially less affected by cabin heat? If so, I may just put the $ toward a C7.
I know there are methods of reducing the cabin heat but some say it’s a minimal improvement.

You'll be fine in the c7. I'm comfortable in 100 degree days with a suit on in mine.

You might not melt a candy bar in the C7 console compartment as you will in a C6 console compartment but it still gets hot.

I have not owned a C6 - came to my C7 from three C5s. The C5 could get warm inside as temps increased. I have not found the same with the C7.

C7 is much cooler than my C6. After a few hours of cruising it gets warm but won't warm a cup of coffee like a C6.

Traded in my 13 Cyber Gray GS vert for the AW 14 Stingray vert.
C7 is cooler inside than the C6.
Still need the a/c.

My experience is the same as most of the comments. My C7 is cooler inside than the C6 was.
