If you plan on buying new, you'll have plenty of time to find out what the problems are as the waiting list to buy new is currently 3+ years.

2013 was the last model year of C6 production.
There was no Z06 model for the 2014 model year - that was the first year of C7 production and only the Stingray and Z51 models were released at that point.
2015 model year was the first year of C7 Z07 production.

MODS - I don't know where this question goes but it's not here.

Welcome to the Forum! See the C6 section for 2006-2013 Z06 and the C7 section for 2015-2019 Z06. Either are great options and great cars but their respective section on the Forum will be more informative.
