makes sense to me...

Do it, you won't regret it. I made the move from my 2016 ZO6 3 weeks ago to a 2017 ZO6/ZO7. Took advantage of the brake rebate and absolutely no regrets. By the way, the Cup 2s don't have much tread like the MPSS so don't expect it. The grip is amazing.....

I wanted a V6 Camaro but my wife liked the clear thing in the middle of the spoiler so I bought a Z07 instead. She's a nice lady.

Thanks for all of your encouragement, I decided on upgrading the car and bought the Z07 just before the dealership closed last night. I will be wiring the money this week and taking delivery soon. Like so many have suggested, there will be no regrets that I didn't buy the top of the line. I am new to this forum and already have gotten lots of help.
Thanks again,
Grant

Excellent! We also purchased a new 2016 Z06/Z07 loaded and didn't want our first Corvette any other way.
