Hello, I have been on the forums for a long time and have owned a C6 Z06 some years ago. I'm now back and looking for a C7 Z06 with Z07 package in 7spd manual. Like many cars during the duration of the model, many times there are some years with in that production line that makes small minor upgrades which makes those years more desirable then some of the earlier years . Is this to be true for the C7-Z06? If so can you please list/post what those differences are thanks in advance.
I have found a 2016 black on black with comp seats and Carbon Ceramics for around 70k but want to make sure that this year has all the features as the others

Good luck finding what you want, looking forward to seeing the Z06 you end up getting!!

’17 because of 1. the leftover new deals, 2. the better cooling upgrades already stock (additional cooler. More space above blower, etc.), 3. Not good ‘18 and ‘19 deals in my area yet.

i would have never paid 3500 for pdr camera.... but the car i found already had it since it was a 3lz, but now that i have had the camera, i could not imagine buying another one without it. 3500 is a lot of money for a gopro, but the ability to push a button and record all the stats from the car and hear the interior audio of the passengers perfectly and the exhaust, its just a priceless feature that a person could monetize quickly if they put their mind to it, with youtube channels and such. As for the cooled seats and the red up across the drivers dash, its all worth it.
People get in the car and love being in it, it does not get the traditional corvette insults.

If it were my daily driver I would miss the ventilated seats. As I’m only in there for focused stints, I don’t miss any of the 2lz or 3lz features that much, except for the front cameras, only because I had them and lost them recently.
upgraded brake package makes a noticeable difference to me.

its a valuable feature for life. Lets say you have the hot chic in your profile photo in the car with you, and a shelby cobra comes up, and you guys start racing each other, and your girl is talking and having a good time, and you end up chatting with the guy at the next stoplight or at the end of the exit ramp, you and he's conversation is recorded as well as the race. You have a price tag on home videos that bring back great memories, you think this is not going to be one of them?
Lets say your car experiences strange codes, that the dealership refuses to do anything about, guess what... you have them on camera now... when they happen, what you were doing to cause them to happen, you talking about them happening on the audio... dealer can now pair their data log they see to your video to confirm the circumstances.
Maybe your buddy comes into town, and you take him out on the town on friday night, and you are showing him the car records video and audio, and you guys are laughing and having a good time.... you will want these tapes back once you make them. You don't understand, 1 tape might cover the cost of the camera in your mind.... let alone 50 tapes.
You are me... 1 year ago. You think you don't need the camera. Like me then... you have no clue the amount of joy this stupid camera brings. And you might be right about the price, the 3500 might have been the jump from 2lz to 3lz, and at that point, get the 3lz... since the 1800 dollar camera is part of the deal.

ill give you another for instance, the hottest girl i have ever seen in my life.. (my tastes, personality, everything on the table)... somehow i managed to take her for a ride.... and that ride ended up becoming many rides and a great friendship/relationship. I have those nights and our talks all on tape. Any one of those tapes is worth the 1800 dollars to me... if someone stole them and ransomed me to get the tape back and i had no backup copy to the tape.... I WOULD pay 1800 to get it back
There are just things in life you will catch on film, that you don't realize are worth it until it happens. 5"11 and the longest legs anyone could ask for...
I also do photography, not a magazine or internet photo...

Yes $1800 just looked at builds on ‘18 and ‘19. $8k for CCB.

yes, always have a memory card in there, 32gb is the biggest that works with it... holds like 600 minutes of film or something.
I would put up my videos im taking about, but i like staying out of jail, and I have noticed there are some negative/jealous/haters on this forum from time to time, so a couple pictures will be the best I can provide at this time

Other than the cooling upgrades for the 17s-up, I suggest them because all z06s 17-up have hand built engines....vs only the z07 packages pre-17 . Love knowing it was hand assembled and potentially making contact with your builder (which I did). Just my 2 cents .

I kinda like ditsy girls. What's worse than a girl who's always thinking she's right? A smart girl who actually knows she's right and won't stop until you say she's right lol.

She's hot but she's not perfect lol. There's actually hotter girls featured on the same youtube channel. But she's still hot.

I’m with u... but people who know xo Gisele (aka Sexy Gisele, Love Gisele) know her from that certain deceased gentleman’s magazine (forget what vid series)... she also moved on to other, ahem ..., interesting performances and has vids (NSFW) not on YouTube but other sites I can’t link here, so her hotness level (Mike might change his mind abt the assets if he looks under the hood so to speak) goes way up for me !...and being involved in spreading Vette gospel especially Z doesn’t hurt either !
